Roberta & Jeff’s Colorful Celebration at Roger Williams Botanical Gardens: Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

If you’ve never been to the Roger Williams Botanical Gardens, I suggest you make the trip. All of the beautiful, lush, tropical plants and vegetation made for the most amazingly vibrant and colorful wedding day setting for Roberta & Jeff. Roberta is originally from Brazil, so a colorful wedding that reflected her tropical homeland was very important to her.
Their first look took place at a beautiful bridge with wrought iron railings that made me think of historic European gates. After some photos of the soon-to-be-newlyweds alone, we headed over to the Botanical Gardens for photographs with the wedding party before the ceremony. There was no shortage of gorgeous nooks for intimate photo settings, beautiful light and colorful decor everywhere! Jeff & Roberta’s happiness and love was infectious and it made my job of photographing them a true pleasure.

I loved Roberta & Jeff’s attention to detail. Every place setting had a vintage tea cup filled with a sedum. The tables were set with beautiful bottles and vases in various colors & opacities and flowers that were as colorful and varied as the tropical plants in the Botanical Gardens themselves. Their vision of a colorful, tropical, summery environment truly came to fruition with the help of Blissful Events and Weedweavers florist.

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.
