Block Island Wedding – Bryan and Lauren 2012-05-22

 With summer fast approaching, I think it is time to remember, celebrate and be inspired by a extraordinary Block Island Beach Wedding. I could use a little sunshine on this rainy day.

Have you ever met people who just love well?  Meet Bryan + Lauren and their families.

Bryan and Lauren  are local folk who spend their weekends boating, fishing, paddle-boarding, surfing and just swimming in the sea. It made sense when they invited friends and family to Block for a weekend of fun. Their local pastor married them on the most beautiful day of summer. Only they would have a rainbow waiting for them on their wedding weekend. The Beachhead was a great venue for a laid back casual affair. The night was filled with warm breezes of the ocean, good chats on the deck and quite a bit of merriment on the dance floor.

Tristan and John – happily in love! 2011-12-14

John and Tristan are just the kind and gentle folk whom I adore. We had a beautiful walk with good talks about their life in Boston as we ventured out to make pictures for their engagement. John and Tristan are getting married next September at Saltwater Farms Vineyard. We had a great afternoon with gorgeous light and seaside breeze bearing witness to the sweet gestures of their shining love. Their slideshow here.

CT Style Me Pretty Today! – Lindsay and Paul 2011-12-07

We are thankful to Lindsay and Paul for a wonderful day with friends and family. Style Me Pretty loved this wedding for the great design and the candidness of the couple. See the full gallery here.

As a documentary photographer, I take delight in couples such as these who feel comfortable just being true and genuine. No need to do a lot of posed photos, because they want to be with friends and family and they trust in the process. Yes, getting married provides ample opportunity for images, no need for elaborate photo shoots or choreographed poses. They simply loved each other well all day long and I just made the real pictures and guess what? – they and their love shined through and through!
