Diane & Will’s Ledgemont Country Club Wedding!!!

zenobia — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:35:36 +0000

This was such a fabulous wedding with an adorable couple and their awesome friends and family. We laughed literally all day it was so much fun! My favorite parts of the day? First, the yummy ice cream truck that awaited guests right outside of the church after the ceremony. I think the Ninja Turtle Power pop on a stick was the most popular pick! Isn’t that such a great idea?! Second, their first dance. I made the couple a slideshow of pictures set to music and motion from their lives together (for the past 12 years – woah!) and they played it on a big screen as a backdrop to their first dance! I loved that idea. All of the guests got up and watched from the sidelines of the dancefloor and the whole moment felt really special. Good planning guys, good planning ; )

Here are a few shots… btw, this bride has the smoothest skin ever… I’m totally jelous!

Diane & Will’s Engagement Pictures!

So Diane, Will and I took over downtown Providence for their engagement shoot. It was such a beautiful day and this awesome couple was up for all kinds of poses! They have been together for 12, yes, 12 years. 12 years! That includes all of high school and beyond! So ADORABLE!

I made them a “Story of Us” slideshow for their wedding reception which had pictures of them from way back, through the teen years, four proms, college, vacations, hilarious halloween costumes, and good times goofing around together. It was so much fun to see them grow together. Anyways, the slideshow played in the background during their first dance at their wedding last weekend. Not to brag, but it was a big hit! ; )

So here are my fav’s…

Jess & Nathan’s Wedding Pics in Downtown Providence and Reception at Madeira Restaurant

Jess and Nathan were married in beautiful winter-chic style (and we all know what a soft spot I have for winter weddings)! Everything and everyone was elegantly clad in white, silver and ice blue. LOVE it! Jess and Nathan’s love is infectious and you can’t help but feel giddy around them. Steph, Kendall and I laughed and partied all day long with this special couple, their families and their bridal party. Victor from Party Time DJ kept the dance floor full all night – the crowd had a blast. My favorite part was when Nathan sang a special song to Jessica – it was so sweet and he is incredibly talented!

There were so many special and unforgettable moments, I only hope we did them justice.

; )

Here are a few shots from the day…

Ashley and Rick are Married @ the Casino at Roger Williams

Like the 40′s glam look? Me too! Check out how fabulously beautiful Ashley looks with her French Cage veil and elegant fitted lace gown. So, so fab! We started the day off at Ashley’s parents home which had a beautiful back yard with some funky country/farm elements… a stone wall, barn etc. Can’t beat that for a pic backdrop! As soon as I saw Ashley I couldn’t wait to start shooting. She literally took our breath away! Luckily she was patient with me and willing to try any weird poses I could some up with… I couldn’t set them up fast enough and kept getting tongue-tied!

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!
