Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 0 comments

Derek and Karissa had the most beautiful day and I was so thrilled to be part of it. I met Karissa and the ladies at Hotel Cafe Dolce Vida. I knew immediately this was going to be such a fun group to work with because the room was so beautifully decorated for Karissa. There were photos of Derek and Karissa all over the suite, custom signs and pom pom’s, everything was just so personal and fun!

The ceremony was held at the Providence College Chapel and the wedding party was actually transported by the PC Friars personal bus. That is certainly a first and it was so cool!! After the ceremony we headed to Roger Williams Park for photos and then off to Rhodes on the Pawtuxet for dinner presented by Russel Morin Fine Catering The ballroom was lit up in beautiful peach uplighting that made the room feel warm and inviting. Beautiful candles and flowers graced the tables all done by Golden Gate Studios. Sweet Tooth and Sugar babies kept the party going and are a such a fun band to have at a wedding. Interacting with the guests and play such a great variety of music. Karissa and Derek I hope you both enjoy a lifetime of joy and happiness and love. Thank you for having me be a part of your special day. xx

Libby and Andrew’s Quidnessett Country Club Wedding

Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 0 comments

I don’t even know where to begin with Libby and Andrew. They were absolutely an amazing couple to work with. Two of the most beautiful people ( inside and out) that I have ever met. Their love for each other just overflowed through-out the the entire day. Libby and Andrew were beaming with smiles from beginning to end. In fact, Andrew continued to seem overcome with happiness that he had just marred the women of his dreams. It was just about the sweetest thing we have ever seen. Working with people like this is absolutely infectious and makes my job truly a joy. When I first met Libby I instantly knew I wanted to photograph her wedding. Libby is just so much fun, warm and genuine, and had the biggest binder filled with her wedding details I had ever seen 🙂 Quidnessett Country Club provided the perfect setting for this seaside themed affair.

The day of their wedding the weather was just perfect. I met Libby and her bridesmaids at a nearby hotel for some getting ready photos and then we headed to the beautiful venue. They were married on site by a close family friend, keeping the energy fun, light and filled with love. Libby and Andrew are clearly a fun couple to be around and all their guests made that quite clear. All for You Dj did an amazing job as usual, and once the dancing got started it didn’t stop. I ended up taking so many fun dancing shots it was hard to chose just a few for this blog. Libby and Andrew thank you for having me such a bog part of your day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

Aubree and Elizabeth’s Destination Wedding in Narragansett

Weddings Posted by ewatsky / 1 comments

Aubree and Elizabeth chose Narragansett as the prefect destination for their intimate wedding. While they make their home in Texas they chose the serene beaches of South County to exchange their vows. Blueberry Cove Inn served as the perfect full service bed and breakfast, from flowers, to cake, to officiating the wedding were taken care of by owner Seely. When discussing the plan for the day Aubree and Elizabeth basically left all the timing and locations up to me. (This has never happened, and needless to say I was SOO excited) Of course I chose a time of day when we would have the best evening golden light and the locations I thought would both offer serenity and ocean views. When I arrived that day they were both getting ready together and I felt like I had known them forever. We took pictures and chatted and everything just seemed so natural and calm. After taking some photos at the Inn, the only two guests arrived Elizabeth’s brother Roger and his partner. Then it was off to the beautiful coastline for their photos. While the day tuned out to be more overcast than sunny the sky sure didn’t disappoint. We had a blast taking their ‘formal’ photos with no pressure to have to be anywhere at any specific time. The love the have for one another is just palpable and made my job such a joy and truly inspiring. After we felt like we had all the photos we wanted to take we met Seely at the Narragasnett Beach and decided to walk to the furthest point on the beach, where Narrow River meets the Ocean. The perfect spot I thought for two lives to join into one. We stopped and took some photos along the way and then when we reached the perfect spot Seely took over and officiated the most beautiful, honest and simple ceremony I have ever experience. I myself was wiping tears away behind my lens. What a perfect way to start a life together. Their happiness and joy was overflowing as they officially became wife and wife. Aubree and Elizabeth it was truly an honor to be a part of such love and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together.

Lee and Dalila

Uncategorized Posted by ewatsky / 0 comments

Dalila and Lee are an incredible couple, and were so much fun to work with. When a bride begins the initial consult by telling you that she sings in a band and will be performing at the wedding, as a photographer who enjoys unique weddings, it was a dream come true. Also making this wedding incredibly special was the melding of a new family. Lee’s beautiful children were welcoming Dalila as their stepmother into the family, into their lives and their special bond was beautiful to see. The love that this family shared was palpable, and it was an honor to be a small part of that day. The love and musical talent in this family created a high energy reception in which everyone was up dancing and laughing the entire evening through. Dalila played the role of both a bride and rockstar seamlessly. Wannammoiset Country Club provided the perfect setting for guests to dance the night away to the music stylings of the ‘Unregulars’.
