Shannon + Ryan’s beautiful October wedding at Bittersweet Farm brought us back to our roots. Bittersweet was one of the first venues we ever photographed at and it was seriously full circle to come back here after so many years. The farm is gorgeous for weddings, the food is delicious and everyone at Shannon + Ryan’s wedding absolutely loved it.
We had a blast getting to know these two over the past year or so. Their love for football, passion in their jobs, and love for their family and friends just shinned through them both. Their engagement session we did way back when are some of our favorite fall lovebird session photos to date. Shannon + Ryan are so photogenic, even though they’d beg to differ! Here’s a little sneak peek of their big day.

Another 2020 couple tied the knot in 2021 just the other week and we couldn’t be happier to share a little sneak peek of their big day! Chelsea & Michael have been planning their big day since 2019 and after COVID forced them to reschedule, change their venue and so many other obstacles, they decided to throw their big day at their parents house and let me tell you, it was absolutely beautiful! We couldn’t be happier with how the images turned out and cannot wait to share the video with you all!
But for now, meet this incredible couple who danced the night away with us!

Everyone knows that our absolute favorite venue to head to is Newport Vineyards. And no, it’s not because their wine is ABSOLUTELY our favoriter (we’re actually having their wine exclusively at our wedding) but it’s because of the incredible team, paired with the absolutely gorgeous vineyard views. You feel like you’re up in the mountains in Southern California yet you’re seconds from Newport Beach. I am so excited to share with you Alisa & Andrea’s day and our first wedding at the vineyard for 2018! We had an absolute incredible time with them and their insanely funny wedding party. In all seriousness, I don’t think I’ve laughed and had this much fun at a wedding in AWHILE! These guys seriously knew how to throw a party. Pooping faces included ;)

Michelle & Gary’s Plimoth Plantation wedding was absolutely beautiful last month. First off - I had no idea that Plimoth Plantation hosted weddings! Who knew the place we all went to in third grade would become a wedding destination for couples! In all seriousness, the location provided such a beautiful space for Michelle & Gary. It was secluded, quiet, and magical! Nestled in the woods, surrounded by their closest family and friends these two tied the knot. We cannot wait to show you this sneak peek of their special day.

Lisa & Paul are absolute incredible friends before they are clients. We got to know both of them over dinner a couple of times and they instantly reminded us what true love looks like. As a matter of fact, these two remind myself of Jenn and I’s relationship. Both of them are adventurous, loving, kind, and so thankful for everyone in their life. Their wedding was a true showcase of all of that. I am so excited to share a little sneak peek of their big day while we finish up their gallery and they finish their month long Europe honeymoon (anyone else of jealous of that? I know I am!)

When we get contacted to photograph an elopement, we get so excited. It combines all the things we love about a wedding in a more intimate setting with just a handful of the couple’s closest family and friends. While we’ve only done a couple of these, they’re turning out to be some of our favorites to photograph.
Allie & Dan’s love story is remarkable. They met while in León, Nicaragua in early 2014. . Allie was staying on a friend’s couch in a house where Dan sometimes used the refrigerator (it’s a long story). Soon after meeting, they began finding any opportunity to see each other. Both spending their days volunteering, they passed weekends traveling on hot, crowded buses to meet up at the beach, climb volcanoes, cycle on dirt roads, and talk for hours over tostones con queso.
Three short months after meeting, they parted ways in Nicaragua, not sure of what the future held but certain they would remain in one another’s lives. While Allie finished university in Boston and Dan pursued his qualifications in rock climbing in England, little by little they met each other’s worlds through visits with family and loved ones. It wasn’t all tearful Skype calls, though of those there were some — they continued to find adventures wherever life took them, whether to the southwest coast of England, Boston’s culture-clashing Freedom Trail, or the highest peak in the rainforests of Rwanda.
After two years of long distance, they found that new and more long-term opportunities in Nicaragua were calling them back to the place where they first met. Dan set to work starting a sustainable adventure tour company and photography business, and Allie worked for a cooperative loan fund.
But most importantly, they were able to start a life and build a community together. Over those two years they welcomed family and friends to visit our home in León, and made so many more. They decided to spend the rest of our lives together after taking a look into their future and agreeing that they couldn’t imagine it any other way but learning and growing by each others’ sides.
Allie & Dan tied the knot at a local park in Narragansett, RI. Although it was POURING out, they braved the weather and made it such an incredibly fun time. Nothing stopped these two. They ditched the umbrellas and even took a dip in the pool. We are SO HONORED to have captured their love story and this next chapter in their lives.

Every year we have a handful of couples that truly stand out above the rest. Couples that not only fall in love with our photographs but become true friends to Jenn and I. They’re usually the laid back type, the adventurous duo and are always up for a cup of coffee, lunch or dinner with us. Emily & Warren are definitely apart of that group. From the first breakfast date with them, I knew we’d be amazing friends. We shared a love for traveling, adventures, food, and so much more. When it became time to photograph their wedding day, I knew it was going to be perfect and boy, it sure was…
Emily & Warren got married at the amazing Newport Vineyards which combined their love for wine, and Rhode Island all in one. It turned out to be one of the best weather days we could’ve asked for with cloudy skies and cooler temps. It was a little rainy at the beginning portion of the day but as soon as the ceremony time came, the showers had passed and it was beautiful.
These photos mean a lot to me. Not only because Emily & Warren are client’s of ours, but because they’re client turned friends. I had such a hard time choosing specific edits to give them and really perfecting the photographs down to every last detail. However, I think you’ll see that these two are madly in love, and are perfect for one another. I can’t wait to show you more…but for now, enjoy these sneak peeks!
With love,
Ryan
