Here is the sneak peak…

Be sure to keep a look out for the FULL gallery of Laura & Martin’s wedding next week!

I am SO thrilled that the Real Wedding of Caroline and Withers is featured in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine!  It was such a gorgeous wedding planned by Raina Dawn Events and flowers by Stoneblossom.

Caroline and Withers, their family and friends graced Newport with their Southern charm.  They were lovely to work with, which made wrangling a bridal party of 32 easy.  My biggest one to date.  It was an extraordinary weekend with no details left to chance, thanks to the talents of Raina Dawn Events.  The RD and wedding were exquisite from start to finish as the photos will attest.   It was fun being schooled in the ways of Southern hospitality.   But I think newly wed Mr. & Mrs. Poellnitz would agree, us Northerners rose to the occasion.

You can view more images from their fabulous weekend on my site.

I want to thank my photo team for another solid performance.  I always say, I am only as good as the people I surround myself with…so thanks again for another job well done and continually making me look good. LOL

All the photos from the entire wedding weekend including the Schooner sail, the Rehearsal Dinner and the Real Wedding is featured on Newport Wedding Glam!

I couldn’t be more ecstatic to have a recent wedding at the New York Botanical Garden featured on Style Me Pretty today! Raina Dawn Events pulled together a gorgeous affair for her new sister-in-law, the beautiful bride. Be sure to check out the flattering write-up and more images at Style Me Pretty. It was such a pleasure to be in attendance at the elegant event, congrats again to the happy couple!!

I am so excited to share some photos with you today from the amazing elopement of the beautiful couple, Tauri and Roscoe, shot on the island of Koh-Samui at Eden Rock Villa, Thailand. Tauri and Roscoe are crew members of a yacht who fell in love and decided to elope while in Thailand, which I was lucky enough to be there to capture. This shoot had such a casual, fun feel and with the amazing setting it was so cool to experiment and incorporate elements from the environment well as traditional Thai wedding rituals such as ringing of the bell for good luck in their life together, traditional dress, and 3 white dots painted on their forehands, symbolizing a wedding blessing. I just loved shooting Tauri and Roscoe together, they are such an awesome, vibrant and dynamic couple who clearly enjoy every second of being together. Some of my faves include the scooter shot with “JUST MARRIED” written in Thai on the back and the infinity pool at Eden Rock and the big Buddha. But perhaps my favorite moment came at the end of the day when we all strolled down to the beach and shot around and then the couple ended with a splash, but jumping off the dock hand in hand. So much fun, what a day. Thanks again to Tauri and Roscoe! xoxo

Lorena and Nolan are just too cute to be true. Watching them interact was so endearing and I really think we captured some special moments of these two with the Newport Bridge as backdrop! LOVE the shots of Nolan twirling you around in that dress beautiful purple dress Lorena, and your shoes were just SO fierce! So fun working with you both and I am so glad you are happy with the end result as well. Really looking forward to shooting your big day :)

We’ve just added some of Sara Ossana’s galleries online but we are in the process of retouching some but wanted to share with you a few of these images to preview what’s to come of her amazing work! Sara is not only an an amazing second shooter but a phenomenal principal photographer as well. So now a few shots from two recent weddings she shot, Brendan & Laura and Maria & Craig. So exciting, gorgeous work Sara!

A new engagement session sneak peak to share with you this morning, Laura and Martin, who are just the sweetest, cutest couple ever.  We had so much fun when I recently traveled to NYC to photograph their engagement shoot, walking the streets of West Village and getting some really cool shoots with all the amazing backdrops to incorporate. Perhaps the highlight of the day had to be running into the entire cast of Glee in the streets, what a surprise that was!  It was like we were all going to break out and sing and dance in a Broadway musical or something! Laura and Martin, so thrilled to be working with you guys and can’t wait to shoot your wedding at Castle Hill this summer.  We got some really gorgeous shots of you two as we walked the streets, so now, I’ll share a few of my favorites :)

This Monday morning we have some photos from another stunning wedding from last season, Annie & Jesse’s OceanCliff wedding. This evening affair was just so breathtaking and glamorous with gorgeous classic details and a wonderful couple so in love.   And let me just say, your first dance blew me away! I mean you two put Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire to shame!  What a great touch, it was perfect! We were able to capture some really amazing shots and to me, the love you feel for each other just beams right through in these images.  It was so great working with you two and a joy to be a part of it all.  All the best to you both! And now, some of my favorite shots from a beautiful evening…Enjoy!
