Karen and Jeff were married on Sunday, July 11 at the beautiful Blithewold estate in Bristol, RI. The evening ceremony was in the west garden with a tented reception on the lawn afterward. 130 and happy guests gathered in front of the mansion for a group photo before enjoying the incredible catering and sweep harbor view. The laidback atmosphere was aided by the 4-piece jazz band and toys for the kids. A fiery sunset melted into the horizon as the dancing continued into the evening.
Jeff and Ilana were married on Sunday, June 27 at Castle Hill in Newport, RI. It was hot and sunny downtown but a cool fog kept the little peninsula cool. The navy and green colors gave a very lush and cool garden feeling to the full tent. The bride and groom decided to see each other before the ceremony and take photos. The smile that Jeff gave his bride when he saw her for the first time was all the proof I needed of their devotion.
On Saturday, June 26 Mary and Tom were married in Grace Church in downtown Providence. The wedding was uber-chic and the bride was simply radiant. The entire wedding was saturated in jewel tones and joy at their union. It was an incredibly festive party at Grandma’s house on Prospect Street. Julie, Mark and I were thrilled to be joining in the happiness of their day.
I have had the incredible good fortune to fall in with the Oggi Family. They are a hyper-talented group of wedding photographers associated with the Bristol Workshops in Rhode Island. I met Julie at an open house and we instantly hit it off. I am over the moon about shooting for Oggi this summer. Today we set up a table and met with Newport brides at the OceanCliff estate’s tasting event. It was a simply splendid day full with lots of gorgeous brides and brilliant winter sunlight on the ocean. We were invited there by the wonderful staff at OceanCliff along with event planners, florists, and confectioners. Here are a few photos from today. More on my other camera to come!
