erin and chris || glen manor house || portsmouth, rhode island

So fun to be blogging another wedding!! I had two in June that I couldn’t blog, so I might have gone a bit overboard with pics on this one to make up for it.

When Erin came into the studio we couldn’t stop chatting! A little about weddings, but also about Hawaii, being a teacher (I used to be!), and running marathons (she has…I want to!). She was a good sport that it was about 98 degrees with 140% humidity on her wedding day. Ok, I might be exaggerating a * little * bit, but it was HOT!!!!!!!!!

Staying cool by whatever means necessary!

I really think Erin's hairdresser should have won some kind of gold medal for this hairstyle, it looked perfect all night long without looking slicked back.

I was so in love with this place! The furniture, the windows, the stairs.....and Erin looked lovely everywhere!!!

The guys were hanging out outside....staying out of view!

I was very lucky to have the super talented Kristin with me, a Rhode Island pro!! She was with the guys who loved getting their picture taken all day. Seriously – they would not stop hamming it up! This is probably the most serious picture of them.

Chris's dad performed the service...

Erin framed quotes from her students about love and marriage. Adorable.

Did they do the chicken dance? Oh yes they did! I know most people think it's cheesy, but I kind of think it's so cheesy it's cute. I loved it ever since I saw He Said, She Said with Kevin Bacon. I tried my best to find the scene on youtube, but I think that this movie was before youtube’s time! (And yes, I did it at my wedding. Go ahead….laugh it up…)

I also see lots of kissing from the clinking of glasses...but this was a good one! Chris walked across the room and kissed her in a giant dip.

kelsey and matt || lake pearl, wrentham || engagement pictures

June is the month for engagement sessions, apparently!!!!! This was my third engagement shoot of June. I was so glad when Kelsey called me about her wedding this coming December. I shot her sister’s wedding back in 2007, and I love doing siblings’ weddings! They will be getting married at MASS MoCA.

Kelsey’s uncle lives on Lake Pearl, and it is a special spot for her and Matt, so we met there – narrowly missing a thunderstorm!

Her uncle drove the boat all around the lake….we dropped them off on a random piece of stone to get this one…

After our cruise around the lake, we went to a little park downtown which had a ton of great little photo spots!! Like this enormous tree…

and this spot……could it be any more romantic? Love it!

So glad we found time to do this!! See you in December!!
