Kirkbrae Country Club October Wedding | Colleen & Andrew
Rhode Island October country club wedding
Kirkbrae Country Club is one of my favorite wedding venues in Rhode Island. The staff is always so organized and beyond courteous. And nothing was different for Colleen and Andrew's big day! It might have been a very chilly fall wedding, but that made no impact on these two and their outstanding family and friends!
The light in the fall is very tough for scheduling outdoor photos. It becomes dark so early in the afternoon, if your ceremony starts at 5pm, you do not have any daylight left for photos after. Incorporating a first look into your day, sometimes allows you to capture some of those outdoor photos you have always dreamed about! It also, sometimes makes some time for a little extra fun photos of the two of you post-ceremony. This October wedding incorporated a little of both!
Now, Colleen and Andrew, are a couple that have made my job easy! They were up for anything and had full trust in where I asked them to go. I could go on and on, but I think showing you is better!

Newport Easton's Beach Rotunda Ballroom Wedding | Caitlin & Ian
Newport weddings are always some of my favorite weddings to photograph! This past September, I had the honor of working at Newport Beach Hotel and Suites for getting ready, Our Lady of Mercy Chapel at Salve Regina University for the Ceremony and Easton's Beach Rotunda Ballroom! That is a trifecta of stunning! But those venues would not have been as beautiful without my astonishing couple! Ian and Caitlin are the type of people you just want to be around! The are genuine and the love they share can truly be felt! I could not have captured these wedding photos without their trust in me and willingness to go wherever!! Thank you both and your families and friends!
Caitlin and Ian's wedding was filled with laughter! From getting ready, to the ceremony, to following my crazy ideas for photos! But that was nothing compared to all the laughing that would take place during their reception! Caitlin's sister and bridesmaid Erin had an epic speech rap prepared that had everyone roaring! Followed by Caitlin shocking all her guests with Irish Step dancers and then adding in the surprise of her adding in and dancing with them! The look on her new husbands face was that of pure bliss! Caitlin is a dancer, and to see her incorporating what she loves in her wedding day just made for a Perfect wedding!

Happy Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Birnbaum!

Farm Post-Wedding Session
Janice and Ryan were married back in April of this year in Narragansett RI on Sunset Farms. I had approached Janice about a day after session to include more laid back photos including her horse and Ryan's motorcycle. However, Ryan was being deployed right after their wedding making it impossible to fit in those pictures.
He came back for a brief four days and we were able to sneak in some of those photos for them!
It was a great excuse to slip back into that wedding dress, that most people only wear for one day, and have a little fun!
Nashoba Valley Winery Vineyard Wedding
Nashoba Valley Winery Wedding Photography photographed in June 2016 by Amanda Morgan.
It's never a guarantee when it comes to weather, Friday and Sunday poured the first week in June. However, even though the weather had been back and forth all week, Saturday came and there was not one drop of rain just a sky full of sunshine! Katie and Nelson couldn't have picked a more perfect day to get married on. Nashoba Valley Winery, was lush with great colors, complementing the rustic feel of the winery. It was truly a perfect day for a vineyard wedding.
The bride was absolutely stunning in her two piece blush BHLDN wedding gown, accompanied by her beautiful hair done by Allure hair design. From the moment of my arrival I could just see the joy in Katie's eyes. From every peek out the window, checking out the flowers and details coming together, to "Joey" the donkey making his arrival! Everything was coming together so beautifully.
The bride and groom were able to sneak a first look before their ceremony, on the vineyard outdoor deck with vines surrounding them. Seeing first hand how emotions change drastically when the love of your life see's you for the first time on the day of your wedding is truly amazing! This was such a magical and special moment for them and i was grateful to capture every moment!
Surrounded by friends and family, the bride and groom embraced each other, hand in hand, both anxiously waiting for the moment each could say i do. (Even with traveling to various weddings every year, this moment is by far my favorite!)
Ladyslipper Designs did an amazing job with all the wedding flowers! I mean look at what they did with the ceremony site and the bride's bouquet! Keep scrolling to see the magic they created for the rest of this bride and groom's massachusetts wedding day!
We then spent about an hour in the vineyard between the grapevines and apple trees taking portraits of the bridal party, family, and of course the enchanted looking bride and groom.
The cocktail hour and reception were held right at the vineyard's pavilion. Nashoba Valley Winery provided both the spectacular food and wines! Bella Cakes, provided all the decadent treats and stunning cake. Linens by Gala LTD, and vintage furniture by Boston Rustic Wedding Rentals. And the amazing Wendy Harrop, the coordinator, made everything run smoothly the entire day!
A huge thank you to Katie and Nelson for having me be apart of your big day!
