BEST THINGS TO DO IN NEWPORT RI

I’D LOVE TO BE YOUR RHODE ISLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER- INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE

BOOK ME AS YOUR RHODE ISLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

THE FAST FACTS OF WORKING WITH ME

• 10+ years as a wedding photographer (work is published in a variety of magazines). You can read all the raving reviews on google! My main speciality is waterfront, tented, and estate wedding vendors.
• I am an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding vendor and will always champion my couples.
• Editing style: Vibrant/ True to life. Years down the line I want you to remember your wedding day as it was when you look at your photos rather than a trend. Photographers tend to fall into 3 editing styles (dark & moody, vibrant/true to color, and light & airy)
• Photography style: Classic & timeless imagery- natural posing, candids, and an editorial flare when capturing your details. I’ll give you prompts to have your natural personalities come out and make you feel super comfortable in front of the camera. You’ll never wonder what to do with your hands- I’ve got you covered with all the posing guidance.
• MLP Wedding Guide Book for all the engagement session & wedding top tips!
• I’ll send an engagement session and wedding questionnaire so we get all your key shots
• I only take a select 10-15 weddings a year and never shoot back to back so my couples always get me at my absolute best
• Local vendor recommendations and happy to reach out in vendor groups if you are having trouble tracking someone down
• Complimentary retouching of distractions (I don’t do body modifications): exit signs, trash cans, people in the background of a photo, zits, sunburns/apple watch tans. I want the focus to be on YOU
• I work with a second photographer who also has their own wedding photography business so it’s like having 2 first shooters
• Rainy day? I’ll bring my clear umbrellas for you
• Sentimental details you want photographed? I bring along my beautiful Chasing Stone styling mat 
• Sneak peeks are back within 2 days. Engagement galleries back within 2 weeks and wedding galleries back within 8-10 weeks. 
• Prints and albums available a la carte. You can always extend photo coverage (even on wedding day) or welcome party coverage.
