Colleen & Ike at OceanCliff

We kicked off the 2009 wedding season in style -- an OceanCliff wedding in the spring. Who could ask for more?

You can check out images from Colleen and Ike's wedding in the

2009 & 2010 Issue of Newport Weddings Magazine.

The couples floral design by Stoneblossom in East Greenwich, RI was featured in

2010 Southern New England Weddings Magazine

The beautiful bride.

The bride wore a Watters bridal gown in eggshell silk/satin.

A gift to the groom from the bride - "a new ride."

The wedding colors of ivory and spring green were used in every aspect of the wedding from the invitations to the save the date, the programs, the linens, flowers, candles and cake.

Stoneblossom florist designed the bridal bouquet with creamy white peonies, creamy white lilac, spray roses, white hydrangea, mini calla lilies, rannuculus with a few green buds.

Custom made Chuck Taylors were the footwear of choice for the groom and groomsmen.

Storm & Bandit were a very special addition to the wedding party.

The arbor was adorned with a soft draping arrangement of hydrangea, peonies, roses, lilac, hanging green amaranthus and beautiful greens and vines.

A magical moment: the groom and two dogs eagerly greet the bride as she arrives for the ceremony.

The charm and elegance of OceanCliff provided a spectacular backdrop for the
wedding ceremony and reception.

A vanilla cake with white chocolate ganache filling with fresh blueberries
was a culinary and visual feast.

Custom chocolates made by Goodies by the Sea in the
shape of dog bones were favors for each guest.

A photo booth was available for guests to take pictures as a memento of the night.

The groom's cake was shaped like a box of Patron Tequila – his favorite drink.

The happy couple.

Check out a short video clip from this amazing wedding!

Erika and Matt

Erika and Matt are a very fun couple with an amazing sense of style! Matt is a very talented mural artist and his work can be viewed throughout Florida and he most recently been comission in NY.

We simply cannot wait for their October 2009 wedding! It will totally reflect their dynamic personalities and artistic vision. And yes, I will be there as the photographer in Cedar Key, Florida.

Their Engagement Session session took us to Tampa, Florida. We started the day in Ybor City - downtown Tampa and we worked our way towards the beach throughout the day. The water gives the location away ... New England beaches aren't that color! Downtown Ybor City has fantastic buildings full of bright color which make for great backgrounds.
