Attleboro, MA Wedding at Colonel Blackinton Inn {Elizabeth + Sean}

This wedding was featured on Borrowed & Blue!

I loved every minute of photographing Elizabeth and Sean and their beautiful family this past summer. I met Elizabeth through the yoga community only earlier this year but she is one of those people where I felt as if I'd known her forever. From taking her yoga class to photographing her wedding, I can say that she is one of the warmest, most down to earth people I have ever met. Of course with a personality like that, you can only imagine that the person she's chosen to be her partner is also incredibly real and compassionate as well. And, meeting her three girls on her wedding day was so much fun as well! All three are incredibly sweet, so much fun, and awesome as bridesmaids!

Photographing Elizabeth and Sean's love on their wedding day was so refreshing. {No pun given all of the rain that day!} You could see it in their faces during their ceremony, from the sincerity, to the huge smiles, this couple had my heart melting. We were super lucky that the rain parted for a short while to grab some photographs around the property and at a beautiful park across the street. And while we didn't see a rainbow during photographs, I am certain that one came out later that day, a sign from her father on her wedding day.

Colonel Blackinton Inn was the perfect venue for this wedding, a totally intimate and relaxed setting, completely beautiful all around. This venue is winning my venue of the year award for sure because not only was it completely beautiful to photograph, but the staff was so incredibly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond in all of the ways that matter, literally getting their hands dirty to make everything perfect. I highly recommend them to those of you looking to host an intimate wedding. {And please pick me to photograph it because I now cannot wait to get back here to shoot some time soon!!}

I hope you enjoy looking at all of the fun, all of the love, and all of the awesome dance moves as much as I loved photographing them! Enjoy!

Elizabeth teaches at NRG in Mansfield, Universal Power Yoga in Norwood, SheBreathes Balance and Wellness Studio in Walpole and Firefly Yoga in Foxboro. I highly recommend checking out her yoga classes!

Narragansett, RI Wedding at The Towers {Erin + Brian}

This wedding has been featured on Borrowed & Blue!

Erin and Brian's Narragansett beach wedding this past summer was absolutely picturesque. From the beautiful, tranquil ocean and sky to the sandy beach and warm sea air, this day couldn't have been dreamt up any better. And to top it off, Erin, Brian, their son Brayden, and their family and friends were all so incredible to work with.

This couple actually reached out after I photographed their cousin's Loon Pond Lodge wedding in Lakeville, MA last year {thanks for the referral, Morgan + Justin!} and I am so glad that they did because we had such a fun time working together. From our consultation {where Brayden actually played video games with my husband while we met!} to their Scarborough Beach engagement session, I loved every minute of fun and laughs with this family.

Their wedding day was nothing short of perfect, with the ceremony on the green under the gazebo and their reception at The Towers, right on the shoreline. And for everyone drooling over Erin's dress, I'm so excited to share that this stunning piece was made by none other than Brian's mom! Susan Troy is an incredible wedding dress designer and I highly recommend reaching out if you're in the market for a beautiful wedding dress. The delicate lace top and open back had my jaw dropped from the moment I saw it. How special to have your mother-in-law make your dress!

I could not be more excited to share this beautifully serene summer wedding with you! Enjoy!

Durham, NH Wedding at the Three Chimneys Inn {Diane + Dan}

I am excited to share Diane and Dan's summer wedding in New Hampshire with you today! Diane and Dan are two of the kindest people I've ever met. They are so devoted to their family and friends, to their community, their church, and to their country. Dan served in the Marines and I actually met them through through one of Dan's roommates in the Marines who is now married to one of my closest friends. I'm lucky I did because I loved capturing and being a part of this beautiful wedding.

When it comes to details, I was absolutely smitten with Diane's dresses. {Yes, two!} She had a gorgeous lace ceremony dress and a big reveal fun party dress for the reception. Diane had the idea to do a first-look-esque moment to reveal her second dress to Dan and it was one of the sweetest things I've ever photographed. I absolutely loved sneaking away with the couple for a bit to capture the intimate moment.

And, for all of you DIYers out there, she actually made her and her bridesmaids' bouquets out of broaches! They were like nothing I have ever seen before. I love when couples add unique elements to their wedding day to make it truly their own. You'll also see below that in lieu of traditional getting ready photographs with Dan, he chose to spend the morning enjoying the Independence Day parade in Exeter, the location where the Declaration of Independence was delivered in 1776! The timing and location couldn't have been better!

Diane and Dan got married at their church in Exeter, NH and held their reception at Three Chimneys Inn in Durham. I'd be remiss to not mention Julie Jensen of Something Bleu because she was so incredibly helpful as their Day Of Coordinator. I highly recommend her to those getting married in New England. Having someone on hand can be such a help! Everything went off without a hitch and I'm so excited to now share a collection of their wedding day photographs with you!

I also would like to take a moment to offer my heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Dan and Diane recently lost Diane's mother's long-term boyfriend, Jim Muir. And while I only had the pleasure of meeting him on this one day, I can say that he was incredibly kind to me, a joy to have around, and someone who was smiling the entire day. My heart reaches out to all of yours during this sad time. For those feeling inspired, you can donate to his GoFundMe page that has helped to cover the funeral costs.

I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all of the vendors who were lovely to work with!
