Kara + Niall are married! Atlantic Beach Club Wedding (Preview)

Kara and Niall were married at St. Lucy's Church and had their reception at the Atlantic Beach Club. The pre-ceremony was so fun and relaxed hanging out with the girls. Kara was not nervous at all! Kara & Sara are quite the pair! (Try not get all tongue tied with those two names, huh?)

Kara and Niall entertained my wild requests, like, "Oh look at those curves in the sand from the polluted water! Those look cool...go stand near them!" (You'll see the photo in a second and it will make sense) Thanks for being fun and up for anything!

For favors, guests received a custom printed beer koozies and starfish or heart shaped wine corks. The corks also doubled as place cards. Very cute idea you know is going to get used! And lastly, we played with sparklers on the beach before heading home. What a great wedding!!

At the reception, they had this wicked cool band from Boston, called The Chicken Slacks. You can listen to their music on the website I listed below. I liked Chicken Slacks because we actually conversed during dinner!! Typically, the vendors sit together during dinner and you wouldn't believe how many bands don't say a word to the photo/video people. But me and the guys from the Slacks had a lovely conversation. Diamond D is one cool guy and knows how to keep your guests up and dancing. And you know what was the best part? They didn't play "Brickhouse", "Don't Stop Believin", "Livin on a Prayer" or the "ChaCha Slide". It was a nice change. Check them out if you're looking for something different.

I'm obsessed with shoe pictures.




St. Lucy's is so cool...the architecture allows for some really cool angles.



The getway Vette! Way faster then a limo! I was behind Niall when pulled out of the church parking lot...wow, that engine just sings.


I love this picture!!!! It's so simple, but I love love love it.



This is the shot I was talking about earlier...

Here's a snippet of a lovely email I received this morning from Kara's mom. I photographed Kara's wedding on Friday night at the Atlantic Beach Club:


"Faith - Paul and I just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful attention to Kara and Niall's wedding on Friday. Your photos are truly a work of art and your talent at capturing the moment is absolutely amazing. Watching you work it is so obvious that you love what you do for a living and that in itself is a pleasure to see. You have such a knack for putting people at ease and making everyone so comfortable. -Jackie"

Oana + Michael are married! (Preview)

Oana + Mike were married over Labor day weekend and held their reception at the Black Rock Country Club in Hingham, Massachusetts. (Very exclusive club....we saw a certain Red Sox player there with his wife and kids! He waved and congratulated Oana & Mike as we sped past in golf carts!) Oana wore a beautiful mermaid style gown and carried a cascade of orchids. They had a beautiful ceremony and a gorgeous blue cake. Their reception, complete with a Lebanese band, was crazy and fun! Everyone had an absolute blast.

Thanks for having me! It was an honor to spend your day with you!

Oana hung her dress in this little hall window...I loved the backlight and the highlights on the wall






PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE that this Island Girl left Newport.....haha!!

LOVE this colored cake!!!

Cynthia + John are married! (Preview)

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.
