Colby & Bridget’s Watch Hill engagement: Rhode Island Engagement Photographer

Colby & Bridget both work incredibly hard, so when it’s time for relaxing, you can find them on their boat off the coast of Rhode Island and Connecticut, or enjoying country music and dancing at The Mishnock Barn. So, when we were planning their engagement session, I suggested we begin at a historic New England farm setting to begin with (complete with gorgeous old stone walls) for a country vibe, and then oceanside in the dunes at Nappatree Point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island for sunset images. Bridget’s parents used to bring their boat into the salt water pond behind Nappatree Point for summer family fun and beach time throughout her childhood, so it’s a place that holds many special memories for Bridget. We could not have asked for a more beautiful night and I think the photos below say it all!

Since the couple has chosen Shepherd’s Run Vineyard in South Kingstown, Rhode Island for their wedding venue, I encouraged them to choose locations that would compliment, but not repeat, their wedding day setting.

I am so excited to capture your celebration in 2022, Bridget & Colby!

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.
