Cathryn & Anthony’s Memorial Day Weekend Wedding in Narragansett, Rhode Island

This wedding was a hometown favorite for me! Getting ready photos at The Break Hotel, a South Ferry Church wedding ceremony and reception at The Towers – all three locations so perfectly South County, Rhode Island – and unique in their own way to this gorgeous coastal town where I live and work.  I can’t think of a better way to officially begin the summer 2017 wedding season than by photographing at some of my all time favorite places with a couple as fantastic as Tony & Cathryn. From the minute my second shooter and I began our photography coverage, we were greeted and treated with warmth from everyone involved in the wedding day from the bride, groom, and wedding party, to the staff at The Break Hotel and all the other talented and familiar wedding vendors that were helping the newlyweds celebrate their big day. All of the pieces fell into place so perfectly and the graciousness and joy of the newlyweds was infectious!

And a special shout out to the wonderful staff at The Break Hotel. They were beyond accommodating and incredibly helpful in assisting me get the photographs I wanted to take for my clients, which we all appreciated.

I discovered during this photo that the best way to get a natural, laughing smile from my couples is to fall on my bum when trying to squat for the best angle!

Congratulations Tony & Cathryn! Thank you again for all the laughs and the pleasure of capturing your wedding day!

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.
