scott and stephanie

scott and stephanie didn't just have a great wedding, they had an amazing wedding. what made it so amazing? they are two wonderful people who planned a wedding day that came so perfectly together, that even the things that were out of their control, just fell into place.

the whole week before their wedding, the weather for their day was calling for slow moving rain & thunderstorms with gusty winds....but they day started out sunny & beautiful. we ushered the bride into the church right on time, and as she walked down the aisle, we could hear the rain come flooding down. And it just rained and rained. But of course, the ceremony went on.....




Luckily, Stephanie is an awesome planner who had booked Harbor Hill in East Greenwich for indoor formals in case of rain. (mom later tells me that this was all HER idea....it took me becoming a mother to realize that moms are right pretty much always). So off we went to Harbor Hill, but the rain surprisingly, had stopped. We never even made it inside, and instead took advantage of their beautiful grounds.

Off we went to Warwick Country Club which was set up for Stephanie and Scott so beautifully. And not only did those storms just never make their way, but we also spotted a rainbow, and were able to catch some amazing sunset shots.

what a great day! congrats steph and scott!

Courtney And Kris Married!

The marriage of Courtney And Kris kicked off the start of my 2010 Wedding Season....and what a great day it was! The weather was beautiful, Courtney looked gorgeous, Kris was all smiles, it was a photographers dream! Not to mention all the fantastic people that also worked on this wedding such as Stoneblossom Floral & Event Design, Bellevue Productions, Chocolate Indulgence, Chuck Wansley Band and more!

I had such a hard time choosing photos for this blog, because I can't even tell you how great all the photos are. (yes, I am patting myself on the back as I type!) So this particular blog will have lots of fabulous photos.....

starting with the beautiful Courtney. She embellished the bottoms of her shoes herself, and with that, was able to check off her "something blue"!

more great shots of Courtney here, and her little Flower Girl.

and here we have quite a few shots of the gorgeous flowers from Stoneblossom. Stunning!

and a very special momento on Courtney's bouquet, a photo of her parents.

is this not the cutest Ring Bearer and Flower Girl? Not to mention this adorable little girl asked me if I was 19 years old. I think I love her!!!!

isn't Courtney's dress just beautiful???

and here we've got Kris and his guys waiting for the bride to arrive...

such a beautiful ceremony....

Kris and Courtney are really one of the happiest couples, they were all smiles all day! It really was such a pleasure to be around them!

Although there are sooo many fan-tabulous (yes, I just said fan-tabulous!) photos of the very happy bride and groom, the photo above is my favorite photo of the day!

Now, the following photos I am just adding because, well, I think they are funny. My sidekick for the day, Seth, snapped tons of great photos, but also captured what appears to be me begging the bride for something....not sure what....an extra slice of wedding cake, perhaps? Must have been something good, I've got my hands folded pretty tightly here.....

the details......

now, I've seen lots of things when it comes to wedding cakes. But this was the first time I have ever seen little mini wedding cakes. Being a HUGE cake fan myself, I think this idea was wonderful. Each guest got to pick a little individual cake for themselves. And as you can see, these little cakes were decorated beautifully!

When I look at the above photos , I am drawn in by the happiness that is Kris and Courtney. It really was a great day. A Perfect Day. Kris and Courtney, I thank you for letting me be a part of it!!!!
