Warning: your cheeks will hurt by the end of this post after all the smiling you will be doing!!  Elizabeth and Tim's wedding at Sakonnet Vineyards was bright, warm and joyful - just like them.  Petite ballerina Elizabeth met her Prince Tim when they both attended Stonehill College.  They chose Sakonnet Vineyards as the location for their nuptials because they love the farm coast and spent many a sunny weekend here.  I knew this was going to be my kind of wedding as soon as I heard they were having a giant whoopie pie instead of a traditional wedding cake - my favorite dessert!  It was a joy and a privelege to witness and document this occassion and to share in this couple's special day.

The wedding of Tessa and Riki was simply brilliant.  The bright orange and pink pallette was a visual expression of just how warm and glowing this couple is.  They exchanged their vows in the garden at Blithewold that was bursting with colorful blossoms.  The white tent was decorated with orange and pink lanterns and they had one of my all time favorite things right by the entry way - a photo booth!  This incredibly sweet couple are the picture of young love with a fantastic story of how they first met.  Tessa was taking an Italian language class at Northeastern and Riki was her charming Italian teacher!  It was amoré right from the start.  ”Oggi, sposo mia amica migliore” (Today I marry my best friend-today and forever)!

This wedding combined nostalgia and wild joy! Heather carried her Grandmother’s brooch on her bouquet, and danced the night away in her Mom’s wedding dress. The couple (and the guests!) were blessed with a huge rainbow, a great omen of this beautiful marriage to come.
