First I have to say I LOVE Newport Rhode Island. Such a cute little town by the marina. We arrived Sunday afternoon, the day of the wedding. As I was driving through all I was thinking about was the AMAZING photos that we were going to take around town. I literally could have photographed all day with them. Today I was meeting the bride and groom for the first time. This is usually the case when the client lives out of state or the wedding is out of state. So I was really excited to meet Sarah & Dave. I showed up to the location about an hour prior to the ceremony so I can photograph some of the details before everyone had arrived. The morning was promising. Sunshine and blue sky. But as the day went on that slowly changed in to cloudy rainy/stormy looking skies. The ceremony was set up outside on the marina, but as we got close to start time the staff decided to move it in to the tent because it started to drizzle. But I was able to get some shots of the setup before they took it in. Then Sarah arrived. She looked awesome. Smiling and ready to be married. and then the REST is history as they say! The ceremony was a quick one. Then the decision time came, do we hurry and get some shots outside before it really starts pouring or just work in side. I was not about to shoot in a tent when we had such a fun town to run around and shoot in. & thankfully neither were Sarah & Dave. They were all for getting as much as we could before we were rained out. We took a quick few minutes and photographed. We didn’t get to far before it started to drizzle a little more so we had to hurry back to the wedding location. It was just enough time for me to get some great shots. & Sarah and Dave were such a breeze to shoot everything went so smoothly and quickly! In our adventure I spotted a VESPA, that I wanted to steal so BAD for some photos, but that sucker was locked up behind a fence. . You better believe if it was in the open we would have photographed with it. ha ha. As the night went on and photographs were snapped by guests and me, I had to slip away and take advantage of the amazing setting off side to the marina. Thats the photo you see of the sailboat all lit up. Oh how I love this shot. I quickly had to run and get the bride and groom to include them in this amazing shot, but they were dancing. So I waited. And just 5 minutes to late when we went to go shoot the photo the skies had already changed. That’s okay becuase just about a half hour earlier we got a great shot of them on the Yacht just off the marina from the deck of the wedding location. During the night the bride Sarah had shared a special dance with her grandfather in memory of her grandmother. Such a special moment they shared together. Moments like this always bring tears to my eyes. All in all everything was so great. Stormy skies are not holding me back!! The next day me and my husband explored the little town we were in taking some photos, shopping a little, and enjoying that almost every passerby had a dog with them. I would definitly go again for a weekender. Love this place!!
