Chrissy & Steve Wedding: Newport, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

It was another beautiful, sunny autumn day in Newport, Rhode Island for Chrissy & Steve’s wedding at The Regatta Club on Goat Island. The couple also wanted to include photos at IYRS (International Yacht Restoration School), set amongst the wharfs off Thames Street, since boat building and sailing is such an important part of Newport’s past and present. The combination of old brick, old wooden boats and industrial settings provided us with photography backdrops that were sensational and unique and full of patterns and texture. Their ceremony at the Regatta Club was held right on the water, with views of the harbor, schooners and iconic bridge in the background. As the couple exchanged their vows, filled with laughter and sentiment, seagulls wheeled in the skies above them and gentle ocean breezes blew through the tent. The newlyweds and their family and friends celebrated under a clear, star-filled sky with the chill of October settling in. All was cozy and light under the tent as Chrissy & Steve and their guests danced the night away in celebration. It was a fantastic day and I loved being able to capture it for them!

Congratulations Chrissy & Steve! Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding day!

Hi there

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.
