Being a Connecticut girl living in Los Angeles, it had been a dream of mine to do a real, New England wedding. So when Emily and Matt asked me to photograph their wedding in the picture perfect, historic Newport, Rhode Island I was beside myself with excitement! Emily and Matt are the most wonderful couple and the whole weekend was filled with those delicious moments that I love to capture. Plus, Emily and Matt's wedding was at the spectacular OceanCliff but they were staying at the equally dreamy Castle Hill Inn , so we were able to use both amazing spots for photos.

Emily created the most perfect event with attention to every little detail. The navy, yellow and white color scheme was so perfectly New England that I felt right at home. I was absolutely honored to be able to capture it for them and can't wait to design their album!

I have so much fun shooting at the Los Angeles Country Club, mostly because I get to sneak onto the most incredible bridge over the golf course for romantic photos of the bride and groom. Of course, we must always have an escort to make sure that no one is down on the course and about to hit anyone in the head with a golf ball (which might put a little bit of a damper on the day)! The ceremony was at the beautiful St. Albans Episcopal Church in Westwood and then we headed back to LACC for the reception. I had such a wonderful time with Colleen and Rick making the most of all of the stunning backdrops at the club.

And as is often the case, the party really got going after the cake cutting, especially with Chuck Wansley on stage and we had a ball (which is one of the big reasons that I always include ten hours with all of my packages as I don't ever want to miss those fun moments). Plus, Colleen changed into the most fabulous, little cocktail dress at the end of the night...wouldn't want to miss that either!

Destination weddings are always a special treat. Of course I love going to new, fabulous locations and having a whole different palette of colors and backdrops to work with but I also love the opportunity to spend an extended period of time with a couple and their friends and family. Krissy and Chris' wedding at Keswick Hall was the most wonderful, gorgeous, East Coast, October weekend. Being an East Coast girl, myself, I was in absolute heaven.  From the autumn hues to a dawn walk with 50 bloodhounds to the charming rehearsal dinner at the Hunt Club with a bluegrass band to the spectacular wedding day, this wedding had it all!  Plus, Krissy and Chris have an incredibly fun group of friends and family which made it even more enjoyable for us to capture.

Krissy and Chris also really wanted a very hands-off, documentary-style approach to the weekend, which was music to my ears.  Here is part one of this gorgeous wedding with a very, special couple and their wonderful family and friends.






More to come...including a Chinese Lantern launch...
