Kristi & Doug

When Kristi and Doug mentioned they wanted to do their Get To Know You session in Newport, I was pumped. Luckily I was in Newport for a wedding already. This was the longest session I've had yet, 4 hours! Well it did start at the bar at the Red Parrot. We all had the same ideas for pictures, walking Spring St and going to the docks.

The above and below photos are two separate shots... I put them on the blog and it almost looked like one shot divided into two.








Since their wedding next year is at the Palace Theater in waterbury, we figured we'd take some photos around the theaters in Newport too.










I took the above picture just as someone was walking down the docks to their boat. The man asked us if we wanted to take some pictures on his boat, and we thought he was just joking around. He wasn't. And it wasn't just any boat. Being a fan of yachts (wanting to retire on one) we walking up to his Sea Ray 60 Sundancer. This yacht retails close to $1.5 million. I was so close to heaven.




Kristi mentioned she loves my ring shots. She's a blog stalker of mine.




Hello?!?!?!?! Love this!


I was pretty tired after the shoot, not just from walking around, but Kelley and I also biked 8 miles that morning on Ocean Drive.

Carol & Eric!

Carol and I used to work together at WTNH and WHDH, both local news stations. She was one of the producers that I edited for. I've known Carol for 10 years! For seven of those years she's been with Eric. I've only hear about him, never actually met him. So when Carol called me to say she was getting married, not only was I naturally thrilled, I knew I would get to meet Eric! The ceremony and reception was at the Newport Yachting Center. It was pouring rain and thunder while everyone was getting ready. Then right before the ceremony it all stopped and ended up being a wonderful evening.

The guys were playing the original Nintendo Techmo Super Bowl .


These were my favorite bridesmaids dresses that I've ever seen. The pattern was punched out of the fabric. I absolutely loved them.




The rain right before the ceremony caused the Yachting Center to put everything under the tent.


Eric was quite the comedian during the ceremony.. and during most of the day.


They came running down the isle!








Yeah, that's their cake. Complete with a working light on top.

Someone else wanted a first dance.






This has been wedding announcement #168!

Gina & Matt!

I've known Gina's family for a long time. We have many family connections. Gina and Matt even moved into Kelley's old condo! When I heard Gina was getting married I had hoped that I could photograph it. Then I found out that Gina stalks my website and has been telling everyone that Im going to be her photographer! Gina and Matt like going to Sleeping Giant State Park, so that's where we headed for their Get To Know You session. Luckily I know the trails there with a few scenic locations.





Gina loves my rings on leaves photos.
