Meredith and Brent were married at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI.  Their wedding day was warm and hazy with fog rolling in and out of the harbor.  It was relaxed and the perfect pairing of elegant and casual.  They were surrounded by joyful friends and family and the swinging band kept the dance floor packed all night.  Ivory lace, hydrangea blue and citrus green made a lush palette for this wedding by the sea.  The extra-large full moon rising on the east side of the harbor while a painterly sunset streaked the western horizon made for the perfect ending to this remarkable day.

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.

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)!

Lisa and James were married at DeWolf Tavern in Bristol, RI on the sunniest and windiest day of the season!  After exchanging vows, these Bristolians held a relaxed party where friends and family could mingle over delicious passed hors d'oeuvres.  Because of the high speed winds guests mostly stayed indoors, lounging on comfortable seats and enjoying each other company.  The blue and white hydrangeas and calalilies were classic accents to the elegant wood of DeWolfs.  The couple finished off the night with the best cake cutting ever seen - Lisa leading everyone in chorus to "How Sweet It Is" by Marving Gaye.
