Caroline + Mike | 9.28.19 | Old Sturbridge Village
We truly had a blast working with Caroline + Mike on their wedding day. The weather was great, the day ran smooth and we all enjoyed ourselves.
Caroline + Mike got ready at the Old Sturbridge Inn before heading to Old Sturbridge Village for their ceremony and reception. They did some family photos outside of the Tavern and then headed over in horse-drawn carriage to the ceremony. They read their vows, said I do, and the party began! Greg Bedard DJ + Entertainment kicked the party off and kept it going all night. Caroline had some desserts from a local bakery as well as some that she actually made herself, we tried a few and they were absolutely delicious! Caroline + Mike danced all night and really enjoyed their wedding. Check out their highlight video here and let us know what you think!

Ashley + Steve | 9.27.19 | Mount Hope Farm
Capturing the love between Ashley + Steve on their wedding day couldn’t have been more fun! On the morning of September 27th, 2019 these two love birds prepared for their big day at the picturesque Wyndham Newport Hotel; an idyllic setting situated at the base of the Newport Bridge on Narragansett Bay.
After a quick commute off Aquidneck island over the Mount Hope Bridge, rumbling above the boats dotting the sun-soaked bay below, Ashley + Steve arrived at their beautiful venue; Mount Hope Farm. This gorgeous 127-acre farm in Bristol boasts uncontested views of Rhode Island in early Fall.
After their first look, we had some time to shoot the bridal party photos before the ceremony.
Ashley + Steve’s ceremony took place in the lush, sunlit lawn of the Governor Branford House on the Mount Hope Farms grounds. The couple said their “I do’s” smiling in the sunshine with their friends and family.
What’s a wedding without a proper reception?! The party got started in The Barn, a charming 160-year-old building nestled among the fields and trees of Mount Hope Farm. Warm colors peppered the rustic tables garnished with a summer harvest of local greens. Surround by their loved ones, Ashley + Steve dined and danced into the night.
With weather as warm as their smiles, we enjoyed every moment of capturing this special couple’s big day! Congratulations Ashley + Steve!

Brittany + Duncan | 06.01.19 | Indian Pond Country Club
Brittany and Duncan actually booked us for their wedding almost 2 years ago so we had plenty of time to prepare with them! It was a slightly cloudy day on June 1, but the weather held up for their ceremony and it was an amazing day. They both got ready at hotels nearby and made their way to Indian Pond Country Club for the ceremony and the party. Surrounded by over 200 guests, Brittany and Duncan said I do and the party began. Baltazar Entertainment kept the crowd moving all night with a great selection of music. The couple even ended the night with a firework show!

Two Thousand Eighteen.
Well, I must say, 2018 was an incredible year. I started a new business with a partner called Focus Forward Media, where we focus on video production and advertising for businesses, I moved into Providence, and I shot a lot more weddings than I did in 2017. I also did a lot more photography for weddings than previous years and I really enjoyed that. I shot many weddings with Wendy Hewes out of Rhode Island and I got to really expand my portfolio and continue shooting more than I had in the past, which was awesome. Side note; if you are looking for a wedding photographer and I don’t seem to be your fit, check out Wendy’s work at WendyHewes.com, my company designed her website and we did some social media for her as well.
In 2018 I shot at various venues in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Maine. It was awesome getting to see new locations and experiment with places I’ve never been before, and of course with new faces!
To wrap this up, I want to share this video I put together. This is a highlight of all the wedding videos I did in 2018, I hope you enjoy it!
If you did, pass it on and leave a comment. Feedback is always appreciated.
