Lauren and Mason get married: The Bohlin: Newport, Rhode Island

Uncategorized Posted by ewatsky / 1 comments

I first met Lauren and Mason at their engagement session this past summer, from the moment I met them I knew they were going to be so much fun to work with. They were just so natural together and laid back and up for pretty much anything.

The day of their wedding, I met Lauren and her bridesmaid where they were getting ready, at the Viking Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. Lauren was so calm and all smiles, soaking it all in as the girls had their hair and make-up done. While we had been planning on doing a first look for quite some time, and tossed around different location ideas, ultimately Lauren and Mason left it up to me to choose their first look location. I am so grateful for their trust as I am certain we chose the most perfect location based on the weather and more importantly ‘light’ that day. Just a short a short trolley ride from the hotel we met Mason for their first look. It was absolutely perfect. We strolled around the streets and found quinitessentional Newport architecture and charm to compliment their timeless style. Then it was off to the ceremony. The ceremony was held at Kay Chapel, a quaint historic chapel that is now part of the Viking Hotel. After Lauren and Mason exchanged their vows in front of their family and friends, it was off the to celebrate at The Bohlin. Lauren and Mason joined the seaside cocktail hour as guests enjoyed perfect Newport views, warm breezes and quintessential new england food fare, such as lobster rolls, shrimp and DEL’S lemonade, a Rhode Island favorite. As the sun began to dip behind the Newport Bridge, I knew we had to take full advantage of sun the drenched pier. The Bohlin ( formerly the Newport Yachting Center) gets some of the most dramatic and downright breathtaking sunset in Rhode Island. Luckily, Lauren and Mason were both up for more photos. After a romantic stroll on the docks at dusk, they were back to enjoy dinner and lots of dancing for an unforgettable evening.

Lauren and Mason, thank you fo trusting me to capture your most perfect day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together.

Karen and Pat’s Agawam Hunt Club Wedding

Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 1 comments

Karen and Pat had the most perfect June wedding at the picturesque Agawam Hunt Club in East Providence. Making this even more special was the fact that I have known Karen and Pat since high school, as they were one grade below me at Narragansett High School. Which mean that yes, Karen and Pat have also known eachother since childhood. Something you don’t see everyday as as wedding photographer. They have also kept a very close with the same group of friends over the years, and it truly is very special and pretty awesome.

While Pat and the guys played a round of golf to start the day, Karen and the girls enjoyed the beautiful bridal suite at Agawam as they had their hair and makeup done. It was the perfect space to get ready in. The ladies, sipped champagne, relaxed and just enjoyed the morning. Once Karen was ready and into her stunning gown, the entire bridal party loaded into golf carts and we made our way to the first look. What a fun way to get around! We found the most beautiful light for bridal party photos and were back in time for the onsite ceremony. Emotions were high as Karen’s brother walked her down the aisle. Karen and Pat were married by Karen’s a very close family friend, adding yet another layer of intimacy to this incredible special day. Karen carried the most beautiful bouquet, designed by the incredibly talented Rustic Roots Design. Not a dry eye in the place. The bouquet wrapped delicately with material from Karen’s late mother, and a stunning locket attached in her honor. After the ceremony guests enjoyed food and cocktails while mingling on the gorgeous lawn and patio at the country club. Once inside guests were wowed by the incredible decor, not a detail overlooked. After dinner guests danced the night away as the party really got started. DJ Ulysses ( who was also Karen and Pat’s beloved high school teacher) kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Karen and Pat, it was truly such an honor to be a part of your special day. You are two of the warmest, funniest most genuine people I have the pleasure to know. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

Michele and Greg: Married: The BOHLIN- Newport, Rhode Island

Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 0 comments

Michele and Greg were married at The BOHLIN in Newport, RI. Previously known as the Newport Yachting Center. It’s always one of my favorite venues, as it’s just breathtakingly beautiful, with the yachts and docks surrounding the venue, quintessential Newport charm. The rain threatened all afternoon but Michele and Greg were able to hold the ceremony outside before the first rain drops made their way over Newport. It was just perfect. Michele and Greg I wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Thank you for having me be a part of your day.

Marlon and LindsayAnn: Married: Independence Harbor

Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 0 comments

LindsayAnn and Marlon are two of the sweetest clients I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I first met them a few years ago, LindsayAnn and bridesmaid in the gorgeous wedding of her good friends. I was thrilled when they reached out a year or so later to be their photographer. At our meeting I’ll never forget Marlon showing me this app that helps map out the sun’s exact location ((he is a fantastic photographer himself) Anyone who already has a deep appreciation for light is a gold star in my book!

We had a blast at their engagement session and got to know each other even more. I learned then, just how easy and relaxed they were together. As the days led up to their wedding at Independence Harbor; known for their meticulously manicured gardens it became clear rain was going to be a factor. While the ceremony was moved indoors we were able to sneak some photos outside as the rain let up for a bit, and we ended up with some beautiful, photos. LindsayAnn and Marlon I wish you a lifetime of happiness. Thank you for having me and congratulations on your new life together.
