An Inspiring Wedding Day for Brunonians Jing & Dennis :) | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

 

Jing and Dennis are truly, madly, deeply in love…something so apparent to anyone who’s spent more than a few minutes with this couple 🙂  Jing left her home in Sweden to study at Brown, where she met Dennis and the rest, as they say, is history…Both actors, this creative duo decided to tie the knot at the wonderful Providence Art Club.  Here are some highlights from their big day:

 

 

Jing’s beautiful handwritten vows were just one of the many personal touches at this wedding:

 

 

Jing’s flowers also looked and smelled amazing….

 

 

The gorgeous bride:

 

 

A couple flights down, Dennis and his groomsmen were also getting ready:

 

Handsome groom Dennis, waiting to see his bride:

 

 

The first look:

 

We did some formals of the wedding party:

 

I just love College Green and the gates at Brown University….such a perfect backdrop for photos of these two lovebirds:

 

A little piece of Italy…right in Providence!  I loved this alley for a private moment between Dennis & Jing:

 

After our little stroll, we returned to the Providence Art Club to prepare for the ceremony!

 

We grabbed one more photo of the bride & groom up on the roofdeck:

 

Beautiful Jing, ready to be married!

 

 

The couple were married by a beloved Theater Professor:

 

While Dennis & Jing read their personally written vows, there wasn’t a dry eye among their guests (including this photographer).  Their words and the love they so deeply felt were inspiring:

 

Husband and wife!

 

 

Cocktail hour:

 

 

The newlyweds and their immediate family sneaked out during the cocktail hour for some family formals:

 

 

Then it was time for the dinner reception:

 

They had an incredible cake by Emily Oliveira:

 

 

After close friends and family made toasts, Dennis surprised Jing with a beautiful song he’d written just for her…

 

 

The party moved upstairs after dinner where husband and wife shared their first dance:

 

 

And parent dances….

 

The night wrapped up with some serious booty-shaking on the dancefloor!

 

 

Jing & Dennis – you are inspiring couple to be around and your wedding day was absolutely magical from start to finish!  Wishing you so much love and happiness in your new life together!!!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day to celebrate!

 

When I arrived, Mandy and her bridesmaids were dressed in the most adorable “getting ready” robes….

 

Mandy was positively glowing on her big day!

 

Meanwhile, the guys helped Steve suit up!

 

 

Then it was time for the first look…we picked a pretty spot on the harborwalk for the reveal:

 

After the bride and groom said their hellos, we did some formals with their awesome wedding party!

 

And a few more with their families….

 

 

Then we ventured over to the beautiful Piers Park for some photos of the bride and groom…

 

 

We continued our stroll over to the East Boston Shipyard for these next few shots 🙂

 

Then it was time to tie the knot!!

 

 

One more quick touch-up before the ceremony:

 

 

And Mandy and Steve became husband and wife in a beautiful waterfront ceremony 🙂

 

Cocktail hour was also outside on the water….

 

Then everyone headed into the tent for the reception, and the newlyweds shared their first dance as husband and wife

 

Mandy’s Dad made a toast…

 

So did the bestman….

 

…and the maid of honor 🙂

 

Around sunset we stepped outside for a couple more photos:

 

 

Time to cut the cake!

 

 

Parent Dances:

A Family Trip up to Historic Beantown :) | Boston Family Portrait Photographer

This wonderful family came all the way up from Florida for a very special Boston-based family portrait, right before July 4th weekend.  We were treated to a beautiful day, and even got some free ice cream along the way as we walked around the Public Garden & Beacon Hill 🙂  A couple teasers from their session:

Kati & Zach are such a fun couple.  From the instant I met them, we bonded as dog parents 🙂  They wanted a small, intimate wedding at the Public Garden with only their immediate family, a few close friends and of course, their dog Brady.  Here are some highlights from their special day:

 

  Beautiful Bride Kati in a stunning dress by Allure!    Zach and his family left the hotel early to set up for their garden ceremony…    Then Kati and family headed over to join them    It was a beautiful spring day and the garden was full of people….    Some heard the bagpiper’s music and stopped to watch the bride and groom exchange vows by the pond:  They were married by their good friend and neighbor, Brad 🙂    Happy Husband and Wife, Happy Doggie 🙂    We did some formals with family and the wedding party after the ceremony    Then, we continued with photos of the newlyweds 🙂    After leaving the park, we headed down Commonwealth Ave to return to the Copley Fairmont Plaza for some cocktails and appetizers…    It was the Kentucky Derby and there were festive hats everywhere    A quick stop in front of the Boston Public Library:    Back at the hotel, Derby spectators filled the Oak Bar:    And Kati and Zach joined their guests for a small cocktail reception before heading back out to dinner  I had a blast at Kati & Zach’s downtown wedding…Wishing them so much happiness and love in their new life together!
