Debra & Gordon’s Early May Wedding: South Kingstown & Narragansett, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

On a gorgeous spring day in early May, Gordon & Debra officially began the next chapter of their lives surrounded by their children, grandchildren and close friends. Debra & Gordon chose Wakefield Baptist Church for their wedding ceremony because of Gordon’s family’s strong ties to the church. His grandmother devoted decades of her life playing the organ on Sundays and at special ceremonies. In addition to holding their ceremony here, the newlyweds chose to honor her memory by planting two beautiful, mature hydrangea bushes in the courtyard garden after their ceremony. The bushes were first used to beautifully decorate the alter for their vow exchange. Such a sweet gesture of selflessness and honor on their own special day, it really impressed and touched me. Their day was simple and beautiful, and a try joy to be a part of. After the ceremony the couple celebrated at The Towers House B&B in Narragansett. Mary Beth and her staff transformed the cozy B&B (which is filled with endless amounts of cool items – I could explore forever!) into an elegant wedding reception venue with character and charm.

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.
