Meme & Ryan's Great Gatsby Inspired Wedding Celebration: Newport, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

With just their family surrounding them, Meme and Ryan exchanged vows in a simple, intimate and natural ceremony along the rocky coastline of Newport, Rhode Island’s famous Ocean Road. No decorations needed when Mother Nature supplies the beautiful ocean, brilliant blue skies and perfect puffy white clouds for your ceremony!

After a quick stop at the home of the bride’s parents for some photos in the gardens, the newlyweds took their celebration to The Newport Tennis Hall of Fame to celebrate with friends and family in the historic setting. Adding to the fun of their reception was the “Great Gatsby” attired theme they encouraged for all guests. Guests enjoyed giant lawn games of Jenga, Connect four and corn hole on the famous grass court before being seated for dinner in the wooden casino surrounding the court. The architecture at the Tennis Hall of Fame is fantastic and we made sure to take advantage of some of the more interesting architectural features and details for some photos of the bride and groom.

On our way to the reception, we stopped at Meme’s family’s home for some photographs in her mother’s beautiful backyard garden.

Congratulations Meme & Ryan! It was a pleasure capturing your wedding celebration and I wish you a wonderful life together!

About Susan

My wedding and portrait photography business is located in the heart of South County, Rhode Island close to URI and the scenic, south coast beaches. I grew up here and feel so lucky to be able to work and create in such a beautiful location! My approach to photography is much like my approach to life: creative, relaxed, natural and fun. I would describe my style as a blend of candid & photojournalistic with traditional & artistic images. I love taking the time to create some beautiful, romantic portraits of my brides & grooms, but also the spontaneous moments throught the wedding day.

I consider my website and blog a place where I can visually journal about the amazing people and places I get to photograph. Not only do I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be making a living taking photographs for people at important moments in their lives, but I also get to meet an amazing cross section of people I might not otherwise get to know. In the ten years I have been in business, I have had the chance to photograph couples riding high on the excitement of their recent engagement, on their wedding day, parents-to-be waiting to meet their new child, newborn babies, children marking milestone birthdays and families who want to remember a certain time in their lives by capturing it in a photographic portrait.

In more recent years, I have had the opportunity to photograph the weddings of younger siblings and friends of previous wedding clients, and the maternity, newborn and family portraits of couples whose weddings I photographed in years past. It feels amazing to know my creative vision of these occasions is a part of their lives and their family history and I am grateful for each and every one of them. When I say I love what I do, it is from a genuine place. I can't imagine doing anything else and feeling as creativly satisfied and pleased to make my clients happy.

I studied photography at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) for undergraduate school and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
