Glastonbury Country Club Wedding | Abba + Christian

Glastonbury Country Club Connecticut wedding with soft greens and whites

It was a warm summer Saturday in July, with dangerous thunderstorms predicted across most of Connecticut. It had already rained a little on our way to Glastonbury, and everyone was a little worried storms would ruin the gorgeous outdoor set up in front of the gazebo. But just before the ceremony was about to start, the chairs were dried and the clouds loomed further away. As much as I love a good first look, Christian’s reaction to Abba walking down the aisle and seeing her for the first time in her wedding gown was just PRICELESS! What love was in the air!

Right after the touching ceremony, clouds coming in hot, we got right through requested family formals and breezed through some fun couples portraits. As soon as we got them inside and started setting up for the grand entrance and dancing, the skies lit up and rain poured down for hours through the giant floor to ceiling windows of the reception room. What a show, and what luck it held off for all of the outdoors celebrations!

Congratulations Abba and Christian! I wish you a lifetime of happiness (and whisky shots)!

They basically got each other the SAME wedding gift!

A Summer Country Club Barn Wedding at Blissful Meadows | Uxbridge, Ma | Christine + Jeff

Hello to the new Mr. and Mrs. Pilipaitis! Christine and Jeff (and Jet!) had such a beautiful wedding at Blissful Meadows Golf club in their new and modern charming barn! I just love these two and their love for each other. I ran into Christine coming to check out the decor set up in the barn and we walked to the bridal suite with her and her girls to get ready. Jeff nervously awaited the first look as everyone got ready and had the BEST reaction of tears and joy to seeing Christine in her wedding dress! The entire day was full of joy and whispers of “I can’t believe you’re my husband!” Their love was infectious! It’s clear that these two (ok Jet I see you, it’s three!) are made for each other.

This was my first time at Blissful Meadows, even though I’m very familiar to the Uxbridge, Massachusetts area. What a gorgeous venue, and I felt right at home! The barn was bright and airy with open sides to let in lots of light and air (it was HOT). The ceremony was right behind the barn with a beautiful archway and lots of shade for the best lighting during the ceremony. Right next to the ceremony site was the PERFECT spot (light!) for family formals and the start of couples portraits. We then took a golf cart over to the cute bridge for a change of scenery before the reception.

Christine, Jeff and Jet, thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding photographer! I loved every minute I spent with you on your wedding day with your amazing friends and family. Here is a little peak into their day!

Lake Pearl Wrentham Wedding | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer | Heather and Connor

When I say I end up with a lot of clients as friends, Heather and Connor are no exception! What fun we had at this wedding at the gorgeous Lake Pearl! The start of summer wedding season and beautiful weather was upon us. I was so excited to get to the bridal suite and give Heather a big hug and exclaim over her gorgeous dress! We headed to the garden gazebo for their first look. Heather’s excitement as she snuck up behind her groom was infectious as were their adorable looks of joy as they exclaimed over one another in their wedding finery! Though it was a little breezy, the ceremony was absolutely gorgeous on the shores of Lake Pearl, with boaters yelling congratulations throughout the day!

Congratulations Heather + Connor, I’m so glad to have met you and got to be the one to photograph your special day! (P.S. Poppin’ bottles, taking shots!)

A Valentine's Day Wedding | Galentine's Celebration | Newport Wedding Photographer

I thought now would be a good time to get caught up on the blog as I kick off my 2019 season which is jam packed full of glorious weddings! This styled shoot collaboration was in my favorite seaside city of Newport, Rhode Island at Queen Anne’s Loft. The florals and decor were romantically designed in pinks and reds reflective of the holiday of love. Oh and that dress…was absolutely to die for! We all know I love a good blush dress and the feeling of romance in the air!

Scales and Shells Newport Rhode Island | Half Shell Bridal Shower

A bridal shower is such a fun time for couples! A brunch with friends, great food, and of course mimosas in the quaint seaside city of Newport. Our last shoot at Scales and Shells highlighted the upstairs, but today we are looking at the downstairs, called the Half Shell. Equipped with a private bar, lots of tables, colorful walls and big windows, the Half Shell is the perfect nook for any celebration!

Scales & Shells Newport Styled Rehearsal Dinner | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

Scales and Shells has a beautiful upstairs called UpScales which perfect for dinner and events such as this wedding rehearsal dinner! In perfect Newport wedding fashion, Scales and Shells is tucked in the downtown area of Thames Street right by the water. Up the stairs is a beautiful, bright and airy space with tables to seat 40 and a private bar. I photographed this event and all it’s details on a sunny morning where the light just sang! The food that came out was the most delicious, and I know because after working you better believe I was all about eating! For bar snacks they had olives, grissini and pistachios. Appetizers were mussels au gratin, cod, bacon and potato bites with dipping sauce, a rosemary and caramelized onion and gorgonzola pizza and a bibb salad. The main course featured swordfish with lobster and asparagus butter and pan seared cod with a warm tomato vinaigrette. Can you say YUM?! Desserts were the most adorable and Newport themed cookies from Newport Sweet Shoppe! I have to say, this was definitely one of the most delicious shoots I have had to date! And speaking of dates, guess who is being wined and dined there on Valentine’s Day?!
