First Snap! Laurie and Mike

Posted by Trish:

I love to talk about the weather...I'm from New England after all. But seriously, the weather on Saturday was amazing!!! Warm, and dry and just perfect. Anyway.

Enough about that, let's talk about Laurie and Mike, they are super nice and good looking, what more do you need?!

They had the wedding and reception at Aldrich Mansion, I got this shot while we were down at the Boathouse doing formals, I just love it.

So don't tell Mariah but I picked two photos again, I couldn't help it! I love this one too...

OK, that's it for now, I will try to control myself and save the rest of the photos for the full blog posts next week!

First Snap! ... Jen and John

Posted by Mariah:

You may remember these guys from my little excursion to Hoboken last month. Well here they are, John traded is cool kicks for some dress shoes but he's still as cute as ever... and well Jen is just stunning. This is one of my fav pix from their day but it was pretty hard to pick considering what a beautiful day it was. J & J are headed to the Maldives on Monday but this photo should hold them over until they get back from their big adventure!

Have fun cuties!

Insane amounts of fun 'nuff said....

So do you think you can take more of the cuteness? Seriously. Did I mention that they are as nice as they are cute. How is that even possible to have all that at the same time. Well, they do it! Here's Alison lounging before the ceremony in the upstairs room at Belle Mer, so chic!

A sneek peek at what she will be changing into later in the evening, more feathers!

Even though they had already seen each other for a few hours before the ceremony, Adam still looks so excited to see his bride come down the isle. This is where two photographers really comes in handy!

The ceremony had to be indoors because of the rain, it's no water view, but it sure ain't ugly in there!

So cute!!! Ah, I just want to squeeze her!

I love the Dad's touching them on each side...

Oh, yes! A little Key West inspired Key Lime drink...

More topical inspired decor at the cocktail hour.

A beautiful cake, so delicate and lovely.

Now we get serious with the feathers. I love these feather-palm tree centerpieces. The up lighting really shows it off, how fun!!! The little lounge in the background is fun too...

The big entrance in for the first dance...

They are truly a HAPPY couple, did I mention how cute they are?

A little bird's eye view of the festivities.

They have come a long way since that first kiss at age ten! Wow.

The rain finally let up a bit so we headed out for a few pics.

And we all know how I feel about the blue light...so I was a little out of my head at this point.

The air was so wet that it reflected the light everywhere and made for a magical blue light that you don't get very often, it was special!

But then again this is a special couple so it's the least nature could do for them after raining all day.

So romantic!

Oh yeah Ali. Work. It.

Like feathers and bling, there can never be enough spinning in a wedding gown.

The other nice thing about the weird weather is that you could actually see the bridge in the background, on a clear night it's really hard to photograph it so that you can really see it, wa la!

My favorite.

So happy that we got that window for photos, of course it started raining like mad again after this!

A little sugar rush before dancing.

Ali's dad is giving his full approval here, and Adam got his smile from his mom!

This was the best dance party ever, the DJ played the best music! The dance floor was crazy full all night long!

This was definitely the right thing to do with the centerpiece, it was just asking for it really.

I hope you like this shot because I crouched down to get it and became completely soaked, as if I had just jumped into a pool. It was that kind of night. At least it was warm out.

Oh yeah, costume change!

These two danced all night and danced with every single guest that was on the dance floor, I have never seen anything like it. They are obviously people of the people, leaving no guest unturned. Plus they danced a lot with each other!

How cute is her dad here, what a nice family!

The last dance...look at how sweetly he is holding her back. Oh Adam.

Running those ten miles has paid off, look at those legs, go Ali!

THanks for a great day, sorry that it rained, but you are awesome and I know you will have a fabulous life together! Did I tell you how cute I think you are?

Alison + Adam at Belle Mer, Part One... Newport Wedding Photographer

WARNING: EXTREME CUTENESS AHEAD!
Don't say that you weren't warned when you see the excessive cuteness that Alison and Adam exude, you may even have to take a break and come back to the photos if it's too much for you... it probably will be.

So we start out here at The Pearls in Newport, what a fun place to stay and they have some great decor along with some real clean and simple decor too, love it! I was crazy for this Chanel picture hanging in the downstairs room...

Melissa got this killer shot of the shoes on a glass coffee table.

I didn't really notice it at the time, but the script on the invitation was so beautiful!

Alison getting beautified, not that she needs any help really.

Checking out the final product...pretty awesome!

I found Adam outside trying to will it to stop raining. He was so worried about how Alison would be about the fact that it was raining...and it was not letting up!

He even flipped someone off who said that it was good luck if it rained on your wedding day, nice. Even if it is good luck it kind of sucks for the couple who wanted a sunny blue sky day, not fair!!!!

But as you can see Alison won't be stopped by a little rain, she fabulous rain or shine!

How great is that shoulder piece?! So fantastic and fun! She was inspired by a Snap! bride from last year who had something similar, I love it! Is she not cute?

On his way to meet his bride...see what I mean about the cuteness, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A few finishing touches and she's ready to go see her honey...

She got a little peek at Adam and then had to fan her self, I love his pose as he waits at the bottom of the stairs.

Best reaction ever, thank you Adam!

How romantic!

Aww, finally they see each other and seal the deal with a kiss.

What a great looking couple! Since it was raining we had to stay inside, but I must say I love this shot and I never would have done it if we had been going outside for pix. So it really does work out even when it rains.

I don't mind getting wet for a shot, or almost getting mowed over by traffic. Whatever it takes.

See, look how happy they are, the weather is of no concern, kind of.

We made it over to Belle Mer with the wedding party and family to do the photos before the ceremony, still raining...

I don't mean to jump ahead, but seriously are they not going to have the best looking babies?!

Doing the official pose of 2010...

Alison is getting good rain coverage here, nice job Adam, keep the bride happy and dry!

One thing that I can say aside from that fact that they are adorable is that they have such a great time together, lots and lots of laughing!

They are also very athletic and told me that they ran 10 miles that morning!!!!! What the.

You can never go wrong with a few feathers!

Adam comes from a small family...he only has three brothers and two sisters!!! And they are all really good looking too, what's up with that?

Alison has one just one brother, how weird!

Having the bridesmaids in this fabulous bright color really worked out on a gray day!

The flowers were so fun! I love the pink and purple and of course more feathery accents...

Here's the hot stuff wedding party, luckily they have some big awnings covering the back patio at Belle Mer, so we still were able to do photos outside without getting drenched.

I just love the bright colors! Alison was going for a Key West feel, I think it works!

The men.

The other great thing about a rainy day is the nice even light everywhere. Alison you are so beautiful, and sassy!

The cuteness continues with the ceremony and reception coming tomorrow......
