Maggie & Jim's Beautiful Dunes Club Celebration: Narragansett, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

Maggie & Jim had a wedding day that many couples dream about; late September sunshine, warm breezes, blue skies and their closest friends and family gathered at the beautiful beach front venue, The Dunes Club, in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Everything was lovely, romantic and picturesque. But they also had one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Within minutes of arriving I felt like I had known their families my whole life. Maggie and her sisters had me laughing the entire day, and her parents are the sweetest people who clearly passed on their love of family (and great sense of humor) to their daughters. It was obvious to me how completely they have welcomed Jim into their family and the joy everyone was feeling on this day when it became official. The couple recently relocated to Rhode Island after living in Pennsylvania, where Jim’s big, wonderful family is from.

After taking some photos off site with just the bride & groom, we returned to The Dunes Club where Maggie & Jim exchanged vows on the grassy lawn overlooking the waves of Narragansett Beach. Their ceremony was officiated by a close family friend. After a lovely cocktail hour on the lawn and patio, the newlyweds and guests continued the celebration inside for dinner, toasts and dancing.

Once the dance floor opened, it was all hands on deck for this fun group who clearly love to have a good time. The band, Groove Authority, was fantastic and the R&B tunes had the dance floor packed!

Congratulations Maggie & Jim! I had a wonderful time photographing your wedding day and wish you the very best as you begin your 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.
