The incredibly charming Kate and Steve were married at Castle Hill on a classic Newport afternoon with fog rolling in off the water.  You will remember this much-loved couple from their engagement session with Julie.  Kate's warm smile, lapis blue eyes and golden hair make her look like a bride straight from the magazines.  The couple is effortlessly-chic and their wedding was the perfect expression of that.  An elegant palette of shimmery silvery and punchy orange with navy made a gorgeous setting for a fantasticly fun party.

On a hot hot hot summer night Nicole and Tom had a wild, high-energy wedding.  The two were married at the elegant St. Luke's Church in Barrington, RI and held a swinging reception at OceanCliff.  Everyone was dressed in vibrant jewel tones and the dance floor was packed from the moment the DJ invited them on.  The spectacular moment from this wedding was the football-style entrance and huddle up organized by Tom and his groomsmen.  The wedding party burst through a banner and then circled around the beaming couple while Tom lead them in a chant.  It won the prize for best entrance of the summer hands down.  It was such a good-time wedding that I'm not sure Nicole and Tom stopped smiling the whole evening.  Here's wishing them a lifetime where the music doesn't stop and your cheeks hurt from smiling.

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.
