Kirsten and Chris in Portsmouth

At noontime on their wedding day, I heard the tv weatherman proclaim that August 8th was the best day of the summer. Has to do with a combination of sunshine, cool breezes and dewpoint. I would say that you are very lucky indeed when the date you have chosen for your garden wedding is considered the best of the summer, wouldn't you?


Kirsten and her bridesmaids walk from the Sheraton just up Market street to the site of the ceremony at the Moffatt Ladd House.

















A great image of Chris during the ceremony just after Kirsten has walked down the aisle to join him in the garden.


















I loved working in the garden at the Moffatt Ladd house. The colors are perfect here with Kirsten's lovely bouquet from Betsy at the Flower Kiosk!

























Recessional back to the Sheraton for their reception. I swear I did not know August 8th was the 40th Anniversary of Abbey Road until after I had taken these photographs!

Betsey and Nate in Rhode Island

I was lucky enough to spend a beautiful Saturday night photographing a wedding in Tiverton, Rhode Island recently, just down the road from the studio of my talented friend, Serena Charlebois. I have always thought that this area is a very special place to live, but now that I have photographed there, I have come to the conclusion that there "is something about the light" in this part of Rhode Island.


What a beautiful location for their ceremony. The sun was setting behind this magnificent tree just as Betsey's father escorts her to her groom...
















I love the way the setting sun highlights the color of her dress in this image...















My favorite portrait...















In real life :) Betsey is a designer. Did I mention that she made her own dress? It was perfect!
