Beth & Steven’s Wedding in Newport, RI

Last season I had the chance to second shoot with a bunch of great photographers, but haven’t had a chance to share any of the images with you. Until now :)

This event was shot with my dear friend Erica Pelaccia. We drove down to Newport, RI for the beautiful wedding of Beth & Steve at The Officer’s Club at the Naval Station Newport. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day…


Beth & Steve got married outside by the water, with the sun getting ready to set behind them. It was a beautiful scene, and definitely a fun challenge to shoot!


After the ceremony and the family portraits, we got to spend a little time with just Beth & Steve and the golden sunset. It was gorgeous!!!


Erica working her magic :)


Their reception ended up being one of the funnest parties EVER! It started with a choreographed first dance…


Then the father-daughter dance


Then the best part was that the band was an 80s cover band!!!!! They even dressed up!!! Oh my gosh, they were SO AWESOME!


At first I was a little worried that the crowd wouldn’t be into an 80s band, but I was WRONG! This crowd ate it up!! Everyone from kids to 80 year-old grandparents were gettin’ down on the dance floor all night long. It was a AWESOME!!!


Erica, gettin’ down with her bad self! I love you, Erica ;)


The party was so fun that we closed the place down! On the way to the car, I saw this and just had to get a shot… Gorgeous!


Thank you Erica for inviting me to come shoot with you! It was lovely as always :) Thank you Beth & Steve for having me at your wedding – it was great to meet you guys and enjoy a night boogying with your friends & family! And thank you Fast Times for the best wedding music ever! You guys ROCK – I’ve got to make plans to come out for a show in Boston soooon!

Mark & Serena’s Wedding

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to second shoot with another local photographer, and now dear friend, Erica Pelaccia. She and I are connected through a whole random slew of people and it was about time we finally met and got to hang out! I had such a great time shooting with her and getting to know her over the course of the day.

And as for Mark and Serena, they are just wonderful! You could just see in their faces, and in everyone’s faces, that these two are so in love with each other and so dearly loved by all who were there. Here are a few of my favorites…

Mark getting ready


Serena getting ready


During the portraits, since I was second shooting, I was able to hang back and shoot with my 80-200mm lens and just catch some of the details and moments that were going on. I love second shooting!


Isn’t she gorgeous?!


Serena and her uncle right before they walked down the aisle


The ceremony took place at Highrock, their church in Arlington.


I even shot a little panoramic film with my Widelux during the day, just for fun…


The part where they greeted their parents was one of the most emotional and beautiful parts of the day.



A few details from our portrait session with the two of them at their reception site – the Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont.




And there’s Erica, working it in the bushes :)


A couple more shots of black & white film



The reception was really fun! I love this shot of Mark as they made their big entrance. I think it says it all.


And a sweet moment during their first dance.


Thank you, Erica for inviting me to come along for the day – it was so wonderful shooting with you and hanging out with you!

And thanks to Mark & Serena for letting me be part of your wedding! It was really great meeting you and being with you and your families on this joyful day!
