The Catholic ceremony was beautiful and the light in the church was PERFECTION! The pics were coming out great and then all of a sudden, the priest began the exchange of rings but Ashley and Rick were not facing their guests! They were sideways and totally blocked from view. Yikes! I quickly looked around for another angle and noticed my assist Madeline gesturing towards the steps behind me which lead up to a prayer loft. Perfect! So I ducked my way over, and crept half way up the stairs sticking my 200mm lens between two bars of the banister. Thankfully the guests couldn’t see me so I managed to get the rings and kiss from a perfect angle without being a distraction. Its funny, I always carry two lenses and two camera bodies on me. Most of the time, one camera is dead weight, but for these random occasions, it works out beautifully so I don’t miss a beat! Can you tell I’m all proud of myself? I’m such a dork. I think you had to be there to appreciate my stealth maneuver.

Anyways… we stopped in Waterplace Park for formals and enjoyed a really fun reception at the Casino at Roger Williams Park. Those Guys (absolutely AWESOME band) kept people dancing ALL night, and Atomic Caterers kept people eating ALL night. They even brought out a dessert buffet that included yummy s’mores, fruit, strawberry shortcake, and a million other things, all followed by a bruschetta buffet as a late night snack!!! Good times.

On to the pics!

So Kendall, my new assist Heidi, and I have Vanessa & Rich’s super exciting wedding this weekend which will take us to NYLO, and RW Park/Botanical Gardens etc. This wedding has been expertly and meticulously planned and they have so many exciting surprises in store for their guests… including a photo/video slideshow which I made for them!
