Cassandra & Aaron's Wedding Celebration at Theatre-by-the-Sea: Matunuck, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

On a beautiful afternoon last autumn, I had the pleasure of photographing Cassandra & Aaron’s wedding at the charming Theatre by the Sea in Matunuck, Rhode Island. It was a true family affair as Cassandra’s father designed and built the rustic chuppah for their ceremony, Cassandra’s stepmother officiated their ceremony, her sister baked their wedding cake, their wedding rings and the bride’s jewelry were pieces created by her grandfather and the wedding party was immediate family members that had traveled from near and far to be witness and celebrants of their beautiful day. This kind of meaningful, creative, symbolic, DIY celebration is the perfect reflection of this artistic and expressive couple and family. The bride and groom also write their own vows, which were incredibly articulate and touching. A light fog rolled in throughout the day and after a courtyard cocktail reception, guests enjoyed dinner and dancing in the cozy and rustic dining room of Theatre-by-the-Sea’s Bistro.

Cassandra’s grandfather was a jeweler, and the pieces she wore were from his collection, including their wedding bands.

Congratulations Cassandra & Aaron! May your marriage be filled with joy and laughter always.

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.
