Carrie & Mark's Wedding, July 5th-Pawtucket Country Club-Slideshow

I just loved photographing Carrie & Mark. I knew her wedding was going to be so special and have so many pretty details. Take a close look at the ceremony photos--Father Joe at St. Dominic's Church in Swansea allows photographers and videographers to stand up front. The vantage point is very interesting. In the first kiss photo, you can see all the guests looking on. A very special moment with a really great perspective. The show is set to Carrie & Mark's first dance song. Here's your show!!

Melissa + Andrew are married!! (Night of Wedding Preview)

I just got back from Melissa and Andrew's seaside wedding at Regatta Place. What a gorgeous day and a beautiful evening. Regatta Place is amazing! There's no other venue like it. You are literally on a dock surrounded by giant yachts, the Newport harbor and the sound of the ocean lapping against the piers. The smell of the night air and the ocean is intoxicating. That's why I just love it here in Newport.

The crew at Regatta Place offer the most outstanding service! They truly take care of everyone and are so nice.

Melissa & Andrew were such a joy to photograph. Their family and friends were so welcoming. I think Melissa's mom and dad are my biggest fans! They made me feel right at home!

Thank you so much for having me!! Enjoy your honeymoon in Hawaii!!!

Carrie & Mark's Wedding, July 5th-Pawtucket Country Club-Preview

Carrie and Mark were married yesterday at St. Dominic's Church. If anyone is looking for a church in the Southeastern Massachusetts area, please consider St. Dominic's. Father Joe is awesome! He has the photographer and videographer stand on the step next to him because he wants us to get a great vantage point. You'll see what I mean when I post Carrie's slideshow in a few days. He even makes sure we get all the important parts of the ceremony. I have never encountered such an accommodating priest in a church in all my years as a wedding photographer, save for outdoor ceremonies.

So I think I found someone who loves U2 as much as I do. Carrie is a huge U2 fan and says she's seen them in concert over 20 times!

Mark is from England, and his friends and family were sooo funny!! All this great British humor and lively dancing. I cracked up when one of the groomsmen asked me where the "loo" was located in the church. =)

I was so looking forward to Carrie and Mark's wedding because I knew Carrie had so many pretty details throughout the day, and I couldn't wait to see them all. Carrie and Mark ran out of the reception through a sparkler tunnel, which was another thing I was really looking forward to seeing. Super cute idea!

Well, I could go on and out about yesterday, but I really want to get to the pictures, so here they are!!

Carrie & Mark, THANK YOU for having me! Hawaii is going to rock!





















Ashley & Pat's Wedding, 4th of July-Providence Biltmore-Preview

Ashley and Pat had a fun 4th of July themed wedding at the Providence Biltmore. They had a gorgeous, moving ceremony at St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral. I wish I had audio of the ceremony; it was just so grand and amazing. There's was a live trumpet player in the front of the cathedral, and it just so moving. Everyone was in tears, it was so gorgeous.

I had so much fun with Ashley; she's so outgoing and hysterical. She had me laughing the whole day. I know it's supposed to be the other way around--I'm supposed to be making people laugh, but Ashley just has such a big personality, I couldn't help it.

There were actors at the cocktail hour playing Paul Revere and other revolutionary war figures. Such a cute touch! There's a photo below of them with Ashley's mom, Lisa. Check that out for sure!

Ashley and Pat--THANK YOU so much for having me!! I loved being a part of your day!

I shot this through the window in the room where cocktail hour was overlooking the ballroom. The Biltmore is interesting the way it's laid out.
