this lovely family had never had family portraits taken before this week + I am thrilled that they trusted me with their first official family portraits. they found me through past clients, so just another friendly reminder to always photo-credit your professional photographer + sing their praises whenever you can!! it is our best advertisement! anyhoo, Paige, Kayla, Poppy + Gary the dog were absolute troopers for braving the chilly windy fall weather on Monday. Gary, understandably, was more interested in fetch than me + my dog treats which only left me a little wounded. Poppy + all her adorableness made up for it! They were all naturals + such a joy to photograph! I hope they continue the tradition of family portraits + I hope I have the honor to photograph them again!
Here are a few frames from our RI family portrait session that took place at Crescent Park in East Providence.
all the stars aligned for this wedding at the atlantic resort in newport ri this past weekend. + i guess you could say that the stars have always been aligning for these two. Theirs is a very touching story of a high school crush [that is Jo crushing on Kevin] that doesn’t get the chance to bloom until into their adulthood when their paths cross once again when Jo was caring for Kevin’s father in the ICU. with their daughters by their side as well as many family + friends, they made it all official. there were tears but mostly laughter + some crazy dance moves [ if you see Kevin in the wild play “thriller” + just sit back + watch the magic] here are just a few frames of their wedding story. more to come if I ever get around to blogging full weddings again…
I was speaking with my mom a few weeks ago + we were talking about my work as a wedding photographer + she said that “you have a front-row seat to joy!” + it really stuck with me. That conversation with my mom kept coming to mind this weekend.
I had the best seat in the house to the joy that surrounded Audra + Ryan. I am so lucky to have a career that places me in a seat to view joy so clearly. My gratitude to these couples that let me in + trust me to document this joy leaves me speechless. + these two, wow! so much open-mouthed throw your head back JOY!! From their unconventional pumpkin carving rehearsal dinner to their beautiful fall wedding celebration at Roger Williams Park Casino, JOY JOY JOY! These two just exude so much f-ing joy that it was absolutely phenomenal to witness + bask in its glow!
here are just a few frames from their wedding story
