I like Ike

ChrisM

ikeKatrina, TJ and I stopped by the Eisenhower House for a few pix on our engagement tour this week. I love this property down by Fort Adams. The view is amazing, the setting a dream Newport destination for events, and it’s close to many sweet locations.

Castlehill: A Midsummer’s Wedding by the Sea

ChrisM

0252-2A gorgeous summer wedding. Photographing Jenny’s elegant dress reminded me of Audrey Hepburn’s classic style. From the vintage bicycle built for two, the beautiful florals by Stone Blossom and the fabulous Castlehill sunset, Jenny and Trevor’s wedding was a pleasure to photograph. Here’s the show.

Glen Manor: Medals, Sabres and the Breathtaking Bride

ChrisM

0508-1-2Melissa and Ian’s wedding was full of the most amazing details and personal touches. Golden Gate’s flowers and colorful lighting washed the Glen Manor in reds, pinks, and magenta. The honor guard in “choker whites” dress uniform,  sabres and Ian’s special reserve of Belhaven Ale made this an unforgettable affair. Combine that with a wedding party that loved the camera and knew how to have fun- all on one of the hottest days this summer. Check it out here!

Year of The Bombshell?

ChrisM

069-martinello

So far this year, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a collection of brides that are absolutely beautiful, crazy fun, and authentic. It’s not necessarily about any particular look, but more a case of personalities that are over the top, and full of that certain ‘je ne sais quo” that makes the camera love them and creates some amazing pix. Is this the year of the bombshell? If so,  I’m ok with that…

Ice Cream and Engagement Pix

ChrisM

We were arranging the session for engagement pix at the beach. “We’re going to stop for ice-cream first” they said. Since they chose a Cinema package, Mark came along and added a little clip from the beach shoot, with a detour at Frosty Freez of course. SWEET!

“Make Your Own Weather”

ChrisM

0624I read this phrase in a blog about a location shoot under complex circumstances last week and thought how fitting it was for this wedding we photographed recently at Oceancliff. Janine and John are Rhode Islanders like us, and no stranger to New England weather patterns. Yes, it was rainy on and off, but they (and I) didn’t care at all. Laughing, having a great time and luvin’ life, these two made the sun shine figuratively, and Lisa and I shot it all- the camera loved it. Congrats to Janine and John, it was a blast working with you. Here’s a great wedding show..

It’s only natural

ChrisM

Here’s a clip from Tina and Ryan’s wedding at Astors’ recently. The ceremony blessing was delivered by a good friend. It’s an example of some of the “natural sound” that we mix with music on the final edited production. It’s not too late in some cases to add this to your current still coverage for 2010. email us for availability for your date!
