Love in the Fall

Amanda and James had so many great ideas for their engagement session last year in Newport, I just knew that their wedding was going to be great.

The day started with prep photos at a local hotel.

From there we moved to The Lodge at Maneeley’s, where Amanda and James were relieved to finally have their first look and see each other.

The ceremony was short and sweet - James’ vows in particular required a lot of tissues.

After cocktail hour, it was time for introductions, which included an amazing surprise!

Those are the bridesmaids, charging in to the theme from Jurassic Park.

First dance, speeches, and parent dances followed.

Then: dancing! And lots of it! (James’ college friends especially put in a lot of work on the dance floor!)

We stole the happy couple away for some night photos on the amazing grounds.

It was an amazing day, and I’m so happy for James and Amanda. Congratulations!

Play It Again

I started Angie and Ryan's wedding at Angie's family home, where she and her girls got ready.

I also got to meet the Most Interesting Man in the World.

We moved to the Lodge at Maneeley's for the rest of the day. Unlike my previous wedding here, the weather was perfect, so the ceremony was held out by the Gazebo with a backdrop of amazing fall foliage.

Immediately afterward we finished up posed photos...

...including lots of fun photos with this beautiful couple!

The reception was a blast! 

Aside from the normal stuff - first dance, toasts, etc. - there were a few fun surprises, like the groom performing a few numbers.

An all around amazing day. Congratulations, Angie and Ryan!
