Ah, sisters....

Ah, sisters.... This shot warms my heart.

Mount Hope Farm in Bristol, RI

 Shooting weddings takes you to many beautiful places! My mother is from the Rhode Island originally, so hydrangea bushes, sailboats, and white seashell driveways always make me feel a little nostalgic for the visits we used to make to my grandparents in the summer. I like to think I've absorbed the New England aesthetic to some extent.
 What I love about this shot is that it really captures the place, and all of the elements of the shot fit together so nicely. The slight curve of the bride's skirt mimics the slight bow in the bridge behind her. The bride and groom's heads are perfectly framed against the water. The groom is turned towards her as they walk together, and you can see the sincerity in his body language.
 Shot with my Contax 645, 400 Portra film.

Ashley & Matt's Wave Hill Wedding on Style Me Pretty

 An incredible wedding from last year which was recently featured on Style Me Pretty. I love her dress, her veil, the sunshine! Such an incredible and special day!

Jessica & Aaron

 My absolute favorite shot from a recent wedding. This was right after the couple's ceremony, and they were lost in each other.
 Shot with Portra 400 film, with my Contax 645.

Hot Pink Shoes with a White Dress

I love those hot pink shoes!!!

Backlit Bride

 Backlighting is one of my favorite photography techniques. Sometimes the backlight is so bright that you completely lose whatever you were trying to capture in front of it, but sometimes you get something so magical with that sunlight-pouring-through-us kind of feel. This shot is a perfect example of that. There was a good balance of exterior light and interior light, which allowed me to still capture the bride's expression. Rachel had just put on her veil and was about to leave for her ceremony.

 This shot was taken with my Rolleiflex, 800 speed color film.
