Flowers and Food with Flare

If you loved all the varied uses of pinks from Maren and Steve’s "Special Touches," just wait til you see their flowers. All of the texture and softness and beauty. Plus, I am adding a bonus to spark your appetite with some of my favorite food images.

Part 2- Flowers and Food

First the flowers, pinks perfect for a summer wedding.

Loving the lushness of our bride’s bouquet. And check out our groom’s boutonniere.

The walk down the aisle was just perfect with these flower baskets hanging from the seats.

They brought the pails from the ceremony to place on the cocktail hour tables.

The dinner setting was just perfect. Some tables had tall centerpieces, some with petite centerpieces, all set off by the crystal chandeliers.

One of the tall centerpieces. The use of greens and whites add depth to the arrangement.

Along the fireplace, the bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets were placed in glass vases tied with pink ribbons.

And now for a few sweet, yummy morsels. Maren’s caterer- Blue Rocks Catering- was fantastic. The food both looked and tasted (what we were able to enjoy) amazing!

Oh and her beautiful cake. A perfect combination of the food and the flowers!

Portsmouth in Pink

Maren and Steve pulled together one of those stylish weddings that most brides dream of. Their ceremony and reception were held in a fairytale estate with beautiful grounds. So here’s a little inspiration from their special day.

Part 1- The Special Touches

First off, pinks were the order of the day- from mauve to pastel- subtle shades and hues of luscious pink. More on the flowers in a later post (also pretty in pink).

The full compliment of paper products- invitation, save the dates, name cards and more.

Maren’s shoes with a hint of turquoise. This was a beautiful accent color to the pinks, and only used in two spots. Her something blue.

Her purse also with turquoise. She added the little hummingbird pin, a nice touch of whimsy.

Now check out their venue. The Glen Manor House is nothing short of stunning.

The back patio. Maren and Steve bought all of the lounge furniture and pillows to ensure it would have just the feel they were going for.

Being their Guest

Brace yourself. This one’s a long one. I just couldn’t help myself. Too much fun. Too many beautiful spaces. Too many wonderful people. So there are a few more than usual.

Maren and Steve planned an absolutely stunning destination wedding at the Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, RI. Their guests traveled from far and farther to celebrate with them and were treated to a weekend getaway celebration. Care was given to the smallest of details (each guest had their own personalized itinerary) and thought to the feel of the whole event. Spaces were created for relaxation, for dancing, for socializing. More on all of that later in a details blog post. For now, I want you to be able to get a sense of what it was like to be a guest at this wonderful wedding. And the answer is nothing short of amazing.

As I skipped ahead to Maren’s entrance in my last blog, I thought I would take a step back because I love this moment before Steve enters. The anticipation gives me goosebumps.

The guests also couldn’t wait to see Steve’s reaction to Maren’s entrance.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- eyes on the groom as bride enters- glen manor house - portsmouth ocean side

The ceremony was full of smiles and tears. When Maren and Steve brought each mom a specially embroidered handkerchief and white rose, Steve’s mom already had tears on her cheeks. So Maren helped wipe them away. Steve’s love and understanding of his mom came out in his smile.

Gotta love the folks who bring out the laughter.

At the end of the ceremony, Maren and Steve had not one, but two kisses, and then this very tender look as they enjoyed their new husband and wife status.

Oh wait, make that 3 kisses.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- bride and groom kiss as walk down the aisle after their ceremony in the gardens of the glen manor house

We snuck away for a few portraits on the grounds.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- bride and groom walking in the garden of the glen manor house in portsmouth ri

Immediately it felt like Maren and Steve were meant to be on this estate. They were so at ease at the Glen and comfortable in the space. It fit like a glove.

A private toast before they joined their guests.

The cocktail hour was enjoyed on the back lawn and guests spread out to all of the outdoor spaces, really enjoying the property.

Steve and Maren were such excellent hosts. It seemed as if they had invited all of their nearest and dearest to their private country estate. They really took ownership of the celebration, graciously welcoming their guests.

Loving the playfulness that comes with children.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- tossing the ring bearer at the portsmouth glen manor house

And the sweetness. I can just imagine the conversation, something along the lines of "You look like a princess" from one of the ladies. Followed by "So do you," from the other.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- bride walking with the flower girl at her wedding reception

A quick portrait on the steps with the whole bridal party. The kids are simply too cute.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri-1

For that matter, so is Maren. This moment during their first dance is hilarious. Maren is perfectly in character.

maren-steve-destination-wedding-newport-ri- hamming it up during the first dance- aint that a kick in the head

Loved hearing the story of how they chose the first song. Steve had requirements, well really just one. He didn’t want a song that would make him cry. Something upbeat fit the bill and as he liked Dean Martin, "Ain’t that a Kick in the Head" seemed a perfect choice. It was all fun, no tears.

As it turns out, his mom had similar requirements. So Steve surprised her with his favorite song from his childhood, Elvis Presley’s "Teddy Bear." The crowd, and his mom, loved it.

Dinner was served.

And guests wandered in and out of the ballroom, the dining rooms, and the outdoor spaces on this perfectly lovely evening.

What it actually means to be married I think. Too funny.

Just as we were about to depart, Steve broke out the cigars. He was hanging out with his friends- the whole group of guys, and gals, enjoyed a celebratory smoke.

Oh, what a night! And day, for that matter. This was such a wonderfully joyful wedding. I am so glad we could be a part of it. Many, many thanks to Maren and Steve for including us.

Additional gratitude goes to all of the professionals who helped make their day so fabulous. Each and every person was amazingly talented and wonderful to work with. Honestly I think Maren said it best though. "I just want to invite them all to Thanksgiving dinner." Now if that isn’t high praise.

A very special shout out of thanks to Katie Wilkinson the manager of their ceremony and reception venue, the Glen Manor House. What a joy it was to work with you! Everything was impeccable.

So honestly truthfully, I had such a hard time narrowing these down for the blog. I really hope you will check out their slideshow and their PicFlick. And if you haven’t yet seen their engagement session, definitely check that out.

Maren’s Miracle

On the radar, there was a rain cloud stretching from New Hampshire to Washington, DC and it was moving East at a steady pace. We had been watching the weather reports all week long, dreading what was to come for Maren and Steve’s wedding. They had chosen the most beautiful location for their destination wedding- an estate by the water in Portsmouth, RI- with an outdoor ceremony in the gardens. And they had planned a photo tour prior to the wedding which would take us around Newport‘s stunning coastline. Of course, this required a rain-free day. Dave and I were certain we would be relegated to Plan B. I brought the red umbrella for whatever photos we would be able to take outside.

What we didn’t count on was Maren and Steve’s good fortune. We had no idea they had some kind of extra special karma hanging out in their corner. Because what unfolded was nothing short of a miracle.

Maren got ready at the Pelham Court Hotel- a sweet boutique hotel with a great suite for our bride and her ladies. She didn’t seem at all concerned about the weather, which at that point was all sunshine in Newport.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride gets ready at pelham court hotel

She and Steve saw each other for the first time in the courtyard of the hotel. I love this moment where they get a good look at each other. And I love that Dave purposely captured the blue sky as part of the image. He wanted to make sure they had at least one photo with blue skies from their wedding day.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride and groom see each other for first time at pelham court hotel

We took a couple of portraits in the courtyard. We actually had to have them sit in the shade, because it was still so bright out.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride and groom portrait at pelham court hotel courtyard with fountain

Then we headed off to Ocean Drive, for photos along the rocky coast line. As we drove there, we could see the storm clouds getting closer.

Check it out in this image. Towards the west an ominous sky.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride and groom portraits along ocean drive with storm clouds in distance

In the same spot, but toward the east, the bridal party got to enjoy a few more moments of beautiful blue.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bridal party portrait on ocean drive

At this point, the sky was getting dark fast. Steve asked his groomsmen to bring the umbrellas to us, just in case. They were ready for the worst. Strangely the storm seemed to stop and hold it’s position.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- ocean drive bride and groom portraits with rain clouds in background

We were able to capture a few more at this spot, and even stop at another along the coast.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding-1

I was so glad that we had been able to get those photos in. I figured that was all the luck we would have and was prepared for the inevitable indoor ceremony. When I arrived at the Glen Manor House, I was greeted with blue skies again. What?!? I thought. Then I saw that the gardens were set up for the ceremony. I honestly thought the coordinator had made a mistake. She told me she had checked the radar and it looked fine. I was shocked but happy.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- glen manor house wedding venue and reception site- portsmouth ri

Then of course, the skies turned to gray again. Didn’t bother the ring bearer one bit, though.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- ring bearer on lawn of glen manor house- portsmouth ri

Maren and Steve took a moment to enjoy the view of the water, gorgeous even with the gray skies.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride and groom portrait in glen manor house- portsmouth rhode island

Then the ceremony began. And unfortunately just as the bridal party made their entrance little drips of water started falling very lightly to the ground. This is it! I thought. Now it’s going to downpour on their ceremony. The pessimist in me came out. I couldn’t help being concerned for all of the guests and our truly fabulous couple. And just as quickly as it had started, Maren walked out, and I kid you not, the drizzle stopped.

maren-steve-newport-destination-wedding- bride enters for ceremony at glen manor house in the gardens- portsmouth ri

Not one more drop fell. Crazy? Maybe. True? Yes. A miracle? Absolutely.

Post script- I suppose all this sounds a bit overdramatic. And I can be prone to that, but just to give you a sense of how bad this storm was, everywhere but at Maren and Steve’s wedding that is, check out this article.

Enjoying the Moments

Me oh my- I am so excited to share more from Lauren and David’s amazing day at the Castle Hill Inn.

lauren_david_newport_wedding-20

With the rain far behind us, we captured a few images of our happy couple with the beautiful scenery whenever we could steal them away.

lauren_david_castle_hill_inn_wedding- bride and groom in newport

And then we spent the rest of the evening photographing all the joy- and there was lots.

lauren_david_castle_hill_inn_wedding- bride and groom enter- newport ri

Lauren and David definitely like to have fun. They are so playful together. And Lauren must have had about a thousand different facial expressions to show her happiness.

After the first dance, the hora.

Each couple went up in turn, Lauren and David first, followed by Lauren’s parents, and then David’s. His mom was a little nervous I think.

David’s cousin gave one of the toasts and he rewarded her with a huge thank you hug.

Dancing got underway in full force. Lauren’s parents, so fun.

I loved this moment. Just before they fed each other the cake, there was definitely some teasing going on. And Lauren, all with her eyes, says, "Please."

Then more dancing. Lauren made sure to have a little time with each of her grandfathers.

And with her girlfriends.

Lauren’s sister was a great help throughout the day, and also enjoyed a little time on the dance floor once the party got underway.

Maybe the best thing about a destination wedding, like this one in Newport, is that everyone has more time together, because all of the guests stay for the weekend.

Lauren enjoys another chance to connect with friends.

I have to close with one of my favorite images from the day. We had this amazing sunset over the water. Such a beautiful place to spend a couple of moments as newlyweds.

Weathering the Storm with Lauren and David

I adore Lauren and David. Yup, I do. Why? Because nothing could dampen their spirits on their wedding day. And they had a few more things than normal to contend with, including a torrential downpour that came out of nowhere about 20 minutes before their outdoor ceremony was set to begin. Throughout it all, they handled everything that came their way with grace. I not only adore them, I admire them. And it doesn’t hurt that they are super nice and darn cute together.

lauren_david_newport_wedding-1

So let’s start at the beginning of their day. We met up with Lauren at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport where she and David were celebrating their wedding. We started with Lauren in her room as she and her girlfriends were getting ready.

lauren_david_castle_hill_wedding- bride prepares in newport, ri

Then she met up with David in the chalet garden, where they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day.

lauren_david_castle_hill_wedding-bride and groom see each other for first time in newport rhode island

The rain started coming down just as we finished the family portraits. And it kept coming down for a good long time. Fortunately, the ketubah and bedeken ceremonies were scheduled to be indoors. The went off without a hitch.

It seemed like the rain would pass. It was amazing- on one side of the building you could see sunshine and blue skies, on the other side rain. Lauren waited and watched.

They held off the ceremony as long as they could and just in time, the skies cleared completely. Except for a few of the most perfect fluffy clouds. It was definitely worth the wait.

A few of my favorites from the ceremony…

That’s David’s brother walking Lauren and David’s puppy, and ringbearer, Henry. Isn’t Henry such a sweet little pup?

Album Peak: Becky & Danny’s Newport Wedding

People often ask us how we spend the winter months since most of our weddings are photographed in the summer. The answer is simple: albums. Our creative juices keep on flowing and most of our brides and grooms are ready to begin making their albums about 6 months after their wedding. So while it is blustery outside, we hunker down in front of our computers designing albums and prepping the files. I thought I would share a little sneak peak from a current album.

Becky and Danny got married at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, RI. They actually had a super colorful (lots of fresh pinks and greens) wedding. And most of their album reflects that aspect of the day. So I was so excited to use some of the black and white images and create this spread. I love the moments I was able to include- the large image was just after Danny gave his speech and went to steal a kiss from Becky. The other 3 images were captured during their first dance.
