i am so grateful that these two brought me along to their wedding at crystal lake golf club in mapleville ri; 1. because i had never been to mapleville ri before 2. helped me get over my friday the 13th fear…just kidding 2. because their wedding was full of love + personality + fun. the wedding took place on a blustery day in the fall. thankfully the venue has a cool men’s locker room that we used to warm up after the first look + create some unique portraits inside. the grounds of crystal lake lend itself to endless photographic possibilities. throw a vintage car into the mix + i am loving this venue. everyone bundled up with blankets + each other for an intimate + personal ceremony overlooking the lake. surrounded by close knit family + friends, leah + russell celebrated their love + it was an honor to document it for them.
i first met this family in 2012 when they participated in a mini session fundraiser lisa frechette photography + i put together to benefit the people affected by hurricane sandy in coastal nj. the girls were [i think] 2 + just a couple months. fast forward 7 years + multiple rhode island family portrait sessions later + you find us at south shore beach in little compton, ri. it is such an honor to be able to document this family + to continuously be chosen to be their family photographer. for a little flashback make sure you scroll to the end of the post ;)

to be honest, these yearend reviews are more for me than for you. it is a way to look back on the year to see where i have grown, how i have stretched myself creatively + what i need to focus on in the coming year. a reminder to be grateful seeing families evolve + grow as well as to be open to new opportunities. it keeps me in check. 2018 brought me family portraits, baby portraits, pet portraits, engagement sessions + personal projects. it brought me travel photography projects to distances such as california, greece, + israel. looking back it has also made me want more. more diversity in projects as well as subject matter. more travel. more pet portraits. more photography
but for now here is my non-wedding photos year in review
