You know when you talk so someone and you leave every conversation feeling a little lighter, a little happier, and a little more sure that there’s more good out there than bad? Yeah, that’s Anne and Mike. Two people who are so clearly joyful on their own, brought together = MAGIC ✨

Our first call we spent dreaming a bit. They shared their vision and I said, “tell me more” - because, truthfully, it feels like I’ve been manifesting this exact Block Island Engagement Session for almost a decade. My husband and I had our own BI photos taken many years ago and finding a couple who has the island magic woven in their story, too, just feels special. Taking the time to get to know them and explore was *everything*

This evening on the island felt a bit like transporting from Italy to Hawai’i and somewhere in there we actually captured the true soul of Block Island. A tourist destination that allows moments of intimacy and memories to be created amidst its numerous tucked-away paths.

To say I’m grateful to have spent the day documenting the magic of these two is the biggest understatement.

A day full of iconic Mystic moments ✨

These two moved through their wedding day with so much joy and peace surrounded by the loveliest group of people cheering them on. Grateful to have documented every moment inspired by this place we love… and that they said yes to the gracious yacht owners offer at the end of the night for a few epic portraits on the bow with a glimpse of the moon 😍

From now on, when anyone tries to tell me that having a First Look on your wedding day will take away from the emotions of seeing each other at the aisle, I will tell them the sweetest story of Brooke and Jake🥹 Proof that whether you see each other before the ceremony or not, watching your person walk towards you will always have its own kind of feeling.

We spent this Newport day surrounded by two storm cells that resulted in some of the coolest light (and a little bit of nerves watching the radar - they handled it so well). A few moments after cocktails were enjoyed and everyone was seated inside to begin the rest of the evening, the skies opened up and it all felt a little “meant to be.”

Grateful for a beautiful day spent celebrating the new Mr. & Mrs.!

So grateful to have documented this day alongside such a talented group of vendors, and thrilled to say it found a home with Magnolia Rouge. Happy (almost) one year anniversary, Alex and Evan!

Every time I find myself back in their gallery I am reliving the warmth that filled every room of their celebration. This wedding was such a clear example of why couples choose to plan with intention and gather all of their people in one place. It was obvious these two wanted to thank the people who supported them into who they are today, and they kicked off their next chapter with a timeline full of unforgettable memories. Monogrammed napkins, a purse with custom Castle Hill beading, handwritten notes waiting for each guest at the reception, a vintage car, a historic Newport church, the Bride’s Mom’s dress worn as a second look, cannolis on the dance floor, and countless thoughtful details woven in between.

The one word that I walked away feeling to my core about this day is, “wholesome.”

From butter yellow decor, warm embraces, wildflower florals, elegant picnic-vibes, a yellow bronco, soccer on the lawn, raw bar and Italian cake assembled by this sweets-loving sweet couple, the appearance of their pups, and half the guest list changing into linen or wedding pjs to enjoy the s’mores by the fire - this day was truly everything good about bring two families together and celebrating every piece of their personalities. Especially significant when half the crew hopped the pond to cheer on Daniela and Luke. A day fully unscripted, wholly lived, and beautifully joyful… and so very *them*

Cheers to the happy couple and a lifetime of continued adventures ahead!

I’d argue that yesterday Ally & Drew discovered the perfect formula for a summer wedding at Litchfield Inn: soaking your toes in the pool while getting ready, guests that spend the night turning their tongues red from the slushie machine, throwing a a football outside your reception tent and dancing your heart out to an epic band on the dance floor. With so many intentional, heartfelt and emotional gestures and moments in between.

Most important part of the formula seems to being wholeheartedly in love with your life partner and surrounding yourself with people dedicated to cheering you on and hyping you up for today, tomorrow and forever. Grateful to have documented this celebration and all of the festivities.
