I had such a great wedding yesterday.  Hurricane Danny made it rain for the entire day and it challenged my lightning skills to the max.

I may have a sore back today from carrying the extra bags of equipment, but it was well worth it.

I would like to start off this post with a personal photo.

On Friday we celebrated my husband’s grandparent’s 65th Wedding Anniversary. I’m with so many people on their first day of marriage.  Can you imagine 65 years?

Congratulations Bill and Jill!

I was in the bamboo garden at Blithewold Mansion  in Bristol earlier this month.

Hurricane Bill made my photos this weekend.  I was so excited to photograph on the beach Saturday.

I wanted to post this great wedding I photographed the last weekend in July. I like to photograph my B&Ws in film to give it a different kind of of look.   It may take a week or so longer but I think it is well worth it.

On Providencepinup.com I work with great stylist, Lulu Locks, and make-up artist, Jessica Berndt.  If you decide to use all three of our services for your wedding, I include a head shot at the time of the trial featuring different lighting and angles.

I just wanted to share some of the beach sessions.

I was away last week doing beach sessions. I will have more on that on the next week’s post.

I photographed this wedding before I left. The bride had mentioned that she loves color. We took a walk through Spring Street in Newport to find the right houses that would make her photos stand out.

On July 4th I had an engagement session with S and P. I had photographed her sister’s engagement session last year on the beach.  S. really wanted something different with more of the city as a backdrop.

Rain has not gotten me down. I love overcast.  Colors pop! A little gray is sometimes great!

Today I had a pre-bridal session with S. I was very happy that we had a break in the weather to walk down the street. I love doing sessions at my studio because I am always coming up with ideas as I walk to work.

This wedding was so special to me.

Many of you know my staff photographer Kim Charpentier. On Saturday She tied the knot and I was the photographer.  She worked my butt off!! She was into every pose, every location, and truly enjoyed her day.

It is official start of wedding season. I’m very excited for my weddings this year.

We had a great time with the groom’s hat.

I also been photographing a lot of tweens portfolios lately.

I love this girls red hair.  I saw her hair and brought out this dress.  She was not a fan but her mother and I talked her into it.
