Elyse and Ryan at Glen Manor

Elyse and Ryan's wedding took place at Glen Manor House on a day of, let's say, questionable weather.  Will it rain?  Will it not?  Should we move the ceremony inside?  Should we take our chances outside?  Well, Katie at Glen Manor was keeping an eye on the radar and suggested that Elyse and Ryan go for it, and with that, the ceremony went off without a hitch!  (Well, except for yours truly slipping on wet cement steps and almost making a painfully humiliating scene....crisis averted though.  Whew.  Unobtrusive?  Not so sure....)  Officiated by his father, Ryan and Elyse's ceremony was not only personal and genuine, but it was sweetly touching and laugh out loud funny; it was a truly special experience for all of their friends and family.

Here's Elyse, over come with emotion as the sun peeks out through the rain clouds, just in time for the ceremony to begin....

Couldn't get enough of that luminous window light!

Love this photo of the girls by Sheleen...

Stay tuned for some formals and the reception, up next!

Flower Girl Shoot

Back in September I did a shoot for Southern New England Weddings for the magazine's flower girl spread at the Glen Manor House in Portsmouth. I was thankful to have the opportunity to shoot for them because the exposure is always good for business. But even more fun than that, my oldest daughter Olivia was featured in the shoot! Now that the magazine is officially out, I wanted to share it with you. Olivia is the one in the pink dress, and also in the blue and brown dress. Her "friend" is Isabelle. Here is the actual magazine spread:

This page features flower girl styles, and.....

....this page features a "candy table" that you can have at your wedding if you have a lot of kids as guests. (Can you say sugar high?) I shot the inset images of the girls.

Here are some outtakes from the shoot that were also really cute and fun!

The girls got some first class treatment before the shoot and got their hair done at the New Leaf Hair Studio in Bristol. How fun!

The finished product! Don't they look beautiful?!!

Here are Olivia and Isabelle in their first dresses of the shoot:

They just met on this day....don't they look like true friends??

Isabelle's second dress.....

And Olivia's second.....

Olivia's third change...

And here are Olivia and Isabelle at the candy table! Could there be anything better??

Thank you to Southern New England Weddings for asking me to shoot this spread, and especially for letting Olivia be a part of her first real photo shoot!
