Block Island Wedding Photography...Kristy and Jamie at the Sullivan House, Part 3

Posted by Mariah:

I can't even recall how many times I have ridden my bike past this spot and thought, "What a perfect place to put a bride and groom..." Unfortunately, it's just never worked out for me, and I pedal on by with a sad little sigh...
I asked Kristy if there were any places in particular on BI that she wanted to stop for photos and guess what she said?



When we came out of the church it was raining, Kristy and Jamie got into my car and Kristy said, "So, what do we do just go back to the Sullivan House?"
I said, "NO! We can't do all your photos on a porch! How do you feel about getting slightly damp?"




Worth every hair wrecking sprinkle if you ask me...




Love it.




The dunes, the rain, and 3 inch jimmy choo's... no problem for this bride!




Some sweet pix by Lisa who also braved the rain and sand...




Now that's Block Island.







Meanwhile, our bridal party is safe and dry and ready for pictures back at the reception.




Loving the map/guestbook idea.













It may be grey outside, but inside the tent it's all sunshiney.





























Is that the sun trying to come out?






I love this road leading up to the SH.


Let the wild rumpus begin!






Boys vs. girls... no clear winner.


More cow bell!


Clearly a couple who knows how to have fun together! Not bad little singers either!

Kristy and Jamie- thanks for a totally memorable trip to the Block. I'll think of you every time I ride by Mitchell's Farm! You were fun and sweet and great little photo-ers! Thanks for being adventurous and working it in the drizzle. You're the best! xoxoxox Mariah

Block Island Wedding Photography...Kristy and Jamie at the Sullivan House, Part 2

Posted by Mariah:


Kristy and Jamie started visiting Block Island together a few years ago, and like many other people fell in love with it's rustic seaside charm. They decided on the Sullivan House for their wedding. I love the SH, it really feels like summer vacation.
Kristy's Monique Lhuillier dress....




ooooo- Jimmy Choo.



One of my favorite things about the SH is this fabulous porch that is covered in beach rocks. I thought it would make a perfect spot for a photo of the rings. I had them placed perfectly, and then had a panic attack when I pictured them rolling off the stone and into one of the cracks in the porch. I literally panicked, my legs got all jelly and my chest got tight. I snapped this photos and then quickly put them back in their boxes. (Disclaimer: the rings were actually safe the whole time, I just had an irrational moment).



When I took this photo, I also got shortness of breath, but in a good way this time.

I love this vintage-ness of this photo. It looks like it belongs hanging in the SH.




My lovely second shooter, Lisa captured this shot of Kristy. Classic.




Time for a few quick photos before the ceremony.




Kristy and the MOH, also her sister.

All the ladies, I am crazy for their dresses and necklaces.

Hello, Gorgeous!






A little fun with the veil.




All time BI fav photo #1.




Let's not forget Jamie waiting patiently at the church. How cute is he?












Marriage-d.



Their priest is a family friend and came all the way to BI to marry them.



Hurray! Mr and Mrs!



Coming up next... Kristy braves the rain and goes umbrella-less! Now that's photo determination. She is my kind of girl.

Block Island Wedding Photography... Kristy and Jamie at the Sullivan House, Part 1

Posted by Mariah:

Ah, here we are on beautiful Block Island... starting off our weekend with a few smooches before heading in for the rehearsal dinner. Kristy and James are canoodling in front of the Sullivan House (green spec in the distance) where they'll be getting married tomorrow!


The dinner was held at Smuggler's Cove, which is a super cute little cottage type venue in New Harbor.


A few more pix of my bride and groom... such pretty evening light and good looking subjects! I hadn't met Kristy and James before this evening...
but I felt like I had already known them for ages!


Listening to some toasts by friends and family...



Jamie's mom gave this book to them as a gift at the dinner. She's a preschool teacher and her students gave their thoughts on what it means to be getting married. Their ideas are so simple- but pretty much dead on! I got such a kick out of this. I love kid art! My favorite one is: "Getting married is a bride with a heart for love." True that.

Coming up next... well, everything else! Stay tuned...

First Snap!...Kristy and Jamie's Wedding on Block Island

Posted by Mariah:
As most of you know, I am in love with Block Island... so obviously there's no way it could rain on a wedding I was shooting on the Block right? Wrong!
Did it rain on Kristy and Jamie's wedding? Yes? Did it ruin our photo fun? No!
Exhibit A....

Many more photos coming up... among them a few of my most fav BI photos of all time!
