Bill and Karianne

Bill and Karianne were married at Quidnessett Country Club. kariannes father drove her to the ceremony in his classic hot rods. Before the Hot Rods arrived there was a Ferrari California occupying center stage in front of the Club, but I think it was dwarfed by the American muscle cars that brought in the Bride. This is just a short version of their day that I captured for them. Hope you like it.

Nick and Melissa chose to get their engagement session done in some of my favorite locations in Rhode Island. We began the day at Castle Hill in Newport, which I was amazed to find out how friendly they were toward people conducting a shoot on their lawn without any formal request, (maybe they just didn't see us). Either way it is an amazing location looking out onto the Newport bridge. The summer sun kills me however, we arrived at the Inn at 8:00 sharp and already the sun was blaring down at us and creating harsh light. We worked around it and managed to get some great shots in spite of the fact that the light could fry an egg. After a few more shots down the street at the park along cliff walk we met back up on Jamestown at Fort Weatherill to get some sunset pictures. I love photographing friends because after you have the desired shots of the day, you can begin experimenting with strobe effects at their expense and they encourage you because after all they are getting the results anyway. Thanks guys for putting up with me after two quite long sessions to capture some more experimental type lighting. And thanks Nick for the constant supply of ice coffee, I don't think I slept at all that night.

Neil and Melissa's Wedding at Quidnessett Country Club

Neil and Melissa got married on a beautiful day in July at Quidnessett country club. Although the day started out cloudy, the haze cleared to allow for truly amazing colors during the formal picture session. At the beginning of the day I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of meeting Melissa's father who is an avid gardener and he truly amazed me with how much work he had done to their property. We ended up by shooting the girls in his garden before we left just to get some use out of such an amazing location. The backlit ceremony made for a serious challenge in terms of balancing the light on their faces as well as exposing for the picturesque tree in the background. This would have been an ideal situation for HDR, but alas I did not have the time or preparedness. It was a great reception with the combination of a very traditional DJ who choose to stick to the classics, (Frank, Dino, etc), followed by a younger and edgier DJ who did a beautiful job blending beat to beat the more modern pop stuff. Everyone had a blast and as the final few pictures show, the garter toss especially provided plenty of entertainment. A few of my favorites are above.
