Becky and Danny flew in from California for a destination wedding in Newport, RI- a truly stunning town. And they picked a perfect venue, The Chanler at Cliff Walk, one of the historic Newport Mansions, for their ceremony and first reception.

They wanted their wedding to be an intimate affair with their very closest friends and family. The Chanler was perfect for that and it was a real treat for those who had travelled.

Becky started her day prepping in their suite. When we arrived, she had just come from having her hair and make-up done and needed a bite to eat before getting dressed. So we took a few moments to grab some detail shots.

After Becky was all set, we took the opportunity to take some portraits. What a great place to take pix! We get great images and Becky got to enjoy the view- they were right above Easton’s Beach.

And then we captured a few more of Becky in her room- the room was so lush and luxurious- absolutely perfect for Becky and Danny’s first night.

Meanwhile, Danny was downstairs rehearsing his vows. He has the sweetest smile- no wonder Becky adores him.

Becky had a great walk "down the aisle." She actually walked from The Chanler up to the green in front of it, then all the way around it through these very pretty gardens and then down the aisle. Quite an entrance! And her guests were very eager to see her- check out all those cameras!

With their friend, Jeanine officiating, Becky and Danny said their wedding vows under blue skies with the blue ocean as a backdrop. So beautiful!

You did it Becky and Danny!

And they couldn’t resist stealing this kiss a moment later!

These two were absolutely so fantastic and sweet and wonderful. We had such an awesome time with them. Fortunately we get to extend it a bit longer.

Until then, here’s a snippet of what’s to come….

Becky and Danny have amazing family and friends; here’s a quick peak of their nieces and nephew hanging out during the cocktail (make that mocktail) hour. Note the beautiful view is behind them.

Definitely check back soon. We can’t wait to share the rest from their evening at The Chanler.

Based on all the comments here on our blog, I know how excited and anxious Angela and Michael’s friends and family are to see all their wedding photos. I’ve had a really tough time narrowing them for this entry but here they are.

I have so many favorites from the day…but I really like the movement and feeling of this one. Angela and her dad are really good dancers and they put on quite the show and I think this image captures that.

Angela with some serious bling!

I took this of Angela and her parents as the gates opened into the courtyard at The Lodge at Sonoma. Don’t her parents look so proud?

This was definitely the sweetest moment I ever captured during the signing of the marriage certificate. Angela and Michael savoring their first moments as husband and wife.

Angela et al worked for months putting together creative touches and her own signature look for the wedding. Michael told me that he couldn’t count how many times they went to the craft store. I will be posting more details from their wedding on a future post. Maybe we can get Angela to let us in on her decorating secrets.

Here’s a really cute shot taken by Sarah. Angela had gotten parasols for all the guest and I thought that it would be fun to get a few portraits with them.

After the reception, we went to Chateau St. Jean for some photos. This is one of their favorite vineyards and they even had Chateau St. Jean wine at the reception.

The ever patient bridal party.

And an absolutely perfect ending to the day – stroll in the vineyard.

You can see more of their images by visiting their sneak preview blog entry.

Check out their slideshow for a link to the entire gallery. (You can even download the slideshow- how cool is that?)

The gardens at the Lodge at Sonoma were in full bloom and was the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding.

Angela and the best man vying for a kiss!

Chateau St. Jean is one of Angela and Michael’s favorites wineries so we went there for some post reception photos in this French inspired Chateau.

Jo stayed home on this one:) But I had a wonderful second shooter with me. Thanks Sarah, you did a great job!

This is just a sneak peak. More to come soon.
