Into The Woods: Whispering Pines, Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

Set amongst the wooded forest and pine groves of western Rhode Island is the beautiful Alton Jones Campus and the Whispering Pines Conference Center. It was the perfect location for Heather & Brian’s wedding as the couple loves to be outdoors, hiking and geocaching. In fact, their love of geocaching made little appearances in their wedding day – Heather’s gift to Brian was a tie clip with the GPS coordinates of their first date and their wedding ceremony locations stamped into it. Brian made sure to leave his private written vows to Heather in a cache she had to find in the room in which she got dressed for the wedding.

Heather & Brian did not want to see each other until the ceremony, but they prepared private letters for each other that they shared separated by a door in the main lodge. Since they are avid geocachers, Brian secretly hid his letter in “cache” form for Heather in the room in which she was getting ready, behind the framed illustration of a squirrel (see first image in this blog post) so she had to search and find it in order to read it. His thoughtfulness and was so touching.

Congratulations Heather & Brian! It was a pleasure to 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.
