Heidi and Jay got married at Wannamoisett Country club, which I loved because any chance I can work with my girl Nicole Chadwick, I’m in.  She is a terrific coordinator at Wannamoisett and a great friend of ours.

Heidi looked so great, and had lots of great details for her wedding day.

We love any opportunity we can work with the amazing and talented Sara Faella.  Last time we saw Sara she was doing the hair and makeup for our “Bride on the bathtub”.

This was also the first wedding we brought along our new shooter Ms. Sarah Harnedy.  She is a great new addition to our team, with awesome vision and attention to detail.

Thanks for having us along on this wonderful day.  A special thanks to Sarah Harnedy, Sara Faella and Nicole Chadwick.  Ladies you rock!

With a NYC engagement session in our portfolio it only seemed natural to give the city of our awesome sports teams some love…Boston!  Rachel and Nick live right near Fenway park.. yea… LUCKY!  So we met them up there to get some great shots around Fenway Park.

Any time we finish an engagement session with cupcakes, I put that in the win column. We happened to pass by “Sweet”  in Boston on our way home and caught some really great shots of them in this really cute cupcake shop.  Of course while we were there we had to have a few cupcakes and they were pretty awesome.  Thanks guys!

What can I say about Mackenzie and Mark that cannot be summed up in three words.  Sexy Sexy Sexy.  Man, this couple was on FIRE at their engagement session.  Mark & Mackenzie were so much fun to work with, both being so intimate with each other, and coming to this engagement session with a purpose.. to rock the house!

Super sexy, amazing photo session guys.  Thanks for having us!

When Danielle and Anthony asked me to do their Biltmore wedding, I was thrilled.  And when they told me they lived in New York, I was just as thrilled.  It took me about a ½ second to figure out where we would do their engagement photos… yea… NYC.

We decided that we would meet at the Statue of Liberty.  Funny, I thought it would be bigger.

Danielle wanted some shots in Central Park, this place was amazing.

We made our way downtown.  Some guy followed us for a block and a half because he thought Danielle and Anthony were famous people.  I might have helped with that a little by telling the guy they were when he asked.  Might have.

We finished the session off at Grand Central Station which is such a cool place.  I love this moment of them standing in time.  So awesome!  We may or may not have been invaded by a dance troop shortly after we started shooting.  It reminded me of the AT&T wrong time flash mob commercial.

What a fantastic couple I can’t wait for their wedding!

Okay, we are starting off these Hot Spots with a bang!  A gorgeous field covered in wild flowers.  And yes, it’s location is totally obscure, but completely worth it!  I’m definitely feeling some cowgirl boots or something for this one ladies!  So if you are a bit adventurous, lets do it!   Believe me you won’t be disappointed!

So, Amanda and I were driving around the other day talking about the slew of places we see as we’re driving around that would be badass places to get some photos taken.  Do we talk about photography all the time.. um yes.

So, Amanda came up with this fantastic idea.  Hot spots!  A lot of these locations have time sensitive, blooming season, weather and “legal right to be there” issues we have to deal with.  So we figure… we’ll post a Hot Spot when we find one.  If you want to have your engagement session, wedding formals, trash the dress sessions there, or just want to hang out for a few hours in this super cool location.  Send us an FB message or email and we’ll put it together.  Who knows.. you could be the next person getting their engagement session in the drainage area next to route 4.  (hint.. Hot Spot #1).

“The girl with the blue shoes” quickly became the name that was given to Liz Rodriguez after her and Eddy’s epic engagement session on Benefit Street in Providence.  They were so much fun to work with back then and things were no different on their amazing wedding day.

The guys ended up early to the church.  So they went to the bar to grab a drink before the ceremony… with the priest.  Best priest ever!

Now this is one excited groom!

Liz and Eddy had lots of time for photos.. which we LOVE, and took full advantage of.  We took them right through Providence stopping at some amazing locations…

..and absolutely had to get a recreation of the epic “Girl with the blue shoes” shot.

Since her engagement session, we have had more brides tell us that Liz should be a stylist for weddings, but what they didn’t know is that Liz designed and made most of the details for this wedding.  Including the parasol, the runner and even the invitations.. Awesome job!

And Eddy’s golfing skills are pretty amazing as well.  We won’t show the shot where he went all “Happy Gilmore” on the ball.

Ok.. yea we will.

This couple was amazing, they went all out on the details, and we had such an amazing time photographing with them.. and being there for this big day.

Major props to Tiffany Marsocci the coordinator at Kirkbrae Country Club, she did a great job of making sure the event ran smooth and every detail worked perfectly.  Thanks Tiffany!

Dennis and Claudia were so great on thier big day.  With a church wedding taking place at the beautiful Our Lady of the Holy Rosery church on Benefit Street in Providence, we were in the perfect spot to get some awesome formal photos.  We took the bride & groom to a few spots along Benefit Street trying to match the beauty of the scene, to this gorgeous bride and groom.  Enjoy!

Dennis had the best smile, genuine, addictive.  What a great guy!

I love this church! Not only is Father Joe the coolest guy.  (See May 28th 2011 Wedding, coming soon) , but the church has gorgeous architectural detail!

This is one of the cutest photos of the day, because of the back story.  Dennis tells me that when Claudia gets excited that she has this little hop she does… well, we had to capture it for him to show the excitement of her wedding day!

Yes!

Great best man speech.. complete with a plug for Capital Tanning, Dennis & Claudia’s tanning company.

Thanks for having us, we had a blast!

MemoriesRI is excited to now offer Boudoir photography sessions.  Contact Amanda or Chris for more info!

I met Liz & Eddy at a wedding I photogrpahed back in June.  The pictures we took with them and thier friends became the stuff of legend.  We laughed and had so much fun, I knew this couple was going to rock on thier wedding day.

So we hit Benefit Street for thier engagement photos and got some amazing shots.  This couple is so awesome, thier style, attitude and sense of humor were out of this world.  I cannot wait to photograph thier wedding at Kirkbrae Country Club in May 2012!

I LOVE this shot!

This whole set felt 1930′s Hollywood.  This couple was amazing!

The proper foot lift.  This wasn’t requested… it just happened.  Thats what I love about these two!

Congratulations Matt & Michelle.  This was a bridal party for the ages!  These guys were so much fun from start to finish.  Taking great and hilarious pictures, and dancing the night away.  The dance floor was full 10 minutes before dinner till they closed the doors.  What a great time we all had!

Vanessa & Ryan got married in Cranston on Saturday and we were all lucky enough to avoid the Hurricane.  Ryan was nervous but it all turned out perfect.  The weather was great, the ceremony went flawlessly and the bride looked amazing!  Congratulations!
