I am so blessed with beautiful couples who are so in love with each other!!! Colleen & Chris had daytime wedding in late June. They were married at Newport’s historic landmark, Trinity Church in the heart of the downtown area. Chris’ family owns Arnold’s Art. (which is a great art supply & framing shop in case you need something, like a frame for one of the images I created you!!!) We walked down to the store and photographed their friends & family under the banner they hung at the shop! So cute! Colleen & Chris’ families were so warm and inviting…I just had such a great time with them. Such a great day!!!!

Sara is one of my good friends from elementary school, so I was thrilled to be apart of her day. Sara and Kyle were supposed to be married on April 4th of this year, but they moved up their date 4 months earlier due to Kyle’s ship date. Sara ran with it and embraced her winter wedding with a fur wrap and an indoor rented space for formals. I loved Sara’s red walls in her childhood bedroom…I was really excited about some fun bridals in that spot. My favorite moment was the birdseed send-off when leaving the church.

Thanks for having me!!! Congratulations. Here is to a long happy life together!

Now this is a wedding I’ve been looking forward to. Cynthia and I were instantly bonded when she came to visit me. We talked about all her details like the groomsmen’s kilts, her 2 dress sashes and her Castle Hill lighthouse-replica cupcake tower. (It was like 4 feet high off the cake table!!) I knew it was going to be a wedding full of fun and friends! There was some fun surprises I didn’t know about like the signature cocktail named after their dog and glowy blinking ice cubes in the water glasses.

Cynthia and John’s family and friends are eagerly and patiently waiting on me to post up some pictures. (I started getting emails from their guests, oh about 3 hours after their reception ended, haha!!!!)

THANK YOU for having me!!!!

Florals: Clement’s Market, Portsmouth
Band: GQ and The Lady They rocked! I loved them.






















What happens when you add 1 gorgeous bride in a cathedral length veil + 1 stunning groom + 12 wicked fun bridemaids & groomsmen + 150 loving friends and family members and mix in 72 degree sunny weather? You get amazing wedding photography!! I could have kept Erin & Ryan out shooting all day long….I just see shot after shot after shot. The real beauty was the passion Erin & Ryan share. Anyone at their wedding couldn’t help but feel the love and celebration of their marriage. It was such a wonderful energy and dynamic!

Erin & Ryan, I wish you a long, happy marriage! Thank you for having me! And a special thanks to Erin’s mom and dad for hiring me. You all were so wonderful…I had so much fun.
