Kaelin + Michael - 8•8•08 - Belle Mer Island House

Kaelin and Michael had a intimate destination wedding here in Newport on 8•8•08 at Belle Mer's Island House. What a gorgeous day they got! Blue skies, big puffy white clouds, and a nice light breeze off the water in the afternoon. Belle Mer serves these awesome cold smoked salmon cuts with a cream sauce--I must have eaten half a plate at Kaelin's wedding. All those omega 3's and protein are good for you. So my Belle Mer ladies for next year, make me happy and get the smoked salmon plate at your weddings!

Kaelin & Michael, thanks for having me!

PS- I forgot to mention this when I blogged early this morning...Kaelin and Michael had awesome weather all day, even though the weather called for thunderstorms fin the morning. The storms held until the evening and the skies didn't open up until 6PM, 2 hours after their wedding was wrapped and their after-party had started! That's because I bring the sun to 95% of the weddings I'm shooting. And if it does rain, it's a little passing shower and never a washout. One more reason why you should get me for your photography--because I'm the 'Sun Goddess'....geez I hope I didn't jinx myself for the rest of the season!

Lauren + James are married! (Preview)

Lauren and I were bonded the minute we started emailing. Lauren hadn't locked in a wedding date just yet and told me she wanted a vineyard wedding. I suggested Sakonnet Vineyards and she and James fell in love with it on their site visit.

I loved photographing Lauren & James because their friends and family were so warm and hospitable. They have the most loving friends...their friends were so involved in the wedding. It was very personal and intimate--even with 200 guests!

Lauren & James--thanks so much for having me!! It was a pleasure and an honor!








Check out James' crazy Photoshop skills!!! Lauren & James are huge movie buffs, so on every table was one of their favorites with their own faces 'shopped in. Seriously, I don't think I could have done the stuff James did. When I post their slideshow, I'll include more movie posters. SUCH A CUTE IDEA! I love when people incorporate personalized things about the couple. It makes it unique.

DeAnna + Steve's Wedding at Castle Hill - Slideshow

Hello everyone! I've been a really bad blogger and I haven't posted anything since August 6th. Ahhh, it's really crazy and hectic here so the blog has been on the backburner as I've been working on client work.

DeAnna and Steve had a lovely intimate wedding at Castle Hill in July. Sayles Livingston did all the gorgeous florals. We went out to the lighthouse right at sunset for some pretty portraits with great light.

DeAnna & Steve, thanks so much for having me! I loved meeting your family and photographing your day!

Melissa + Andrew - Regatta Place - Slideshow

Melissa and Andrew had a gorgeous ceremony right on the pier at Regatta Place. Melissa and Andrew saw each other before the ceremony and did the bulk of their portraits before they went to Regatta Place. Everyone should consider this, especially if cocktail hour is something you want to be apart of. Regatta Place is my new favorite venue. Something about being surrounded by the ocean inspires me. When you view the slideshow, be sure to watch out for Melissa and her dad's dancing at the end of the night to that MC Hammer "Can't Touch This" song. It's hysterical and not to be missed!!
