Lauren and David’s Wedding at the Wainwright House in Rye NY
Lauren and David were married two weeks ago, with a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph’s Church in Danbury and a reception at the gorgeous Wainwright House in Rye NY. The Wainwright House is right on Long Island Sound, just down from Greenwich CT, and you can just see the lights of the Manhattan skyline in the distance. Lauren (like Nicole, our client who was married in July) is a die-hard Yankees fan and sported a pinstripe garter…and invited a certain Yankees shortstop (see the pics) to her wedding.
This was our first wedding at the Wainwright House—great venue, and it was a pleasure to meet Gary and Elizabeth, the owners of Corner Stone Caterers which caters the weddings at the Wainwright House. We also had a nice time talking with Louis from Well Spun Weddings, a company that specializes in Super 8 mm film looking videos…well worth a look for a different take on wedding videography. And the beautiful blue and white flowers were from Floral Designs by Nancy.
Lauren and David, thanks very much for having us photograph your wedding!

Robyn and Brian’s Wedding at the Astors’ Beechwood in Newport RI
“It was a dark and stormy night…” in Newport last Sunday for Robyn and Brian’s elegant wedding at The Astors’ Beechwood mansion…and actually the fog rolling in off the Atlantic added a lot of intimacy and atmosphere to the event.
Robyn and Brian had smiles on their faces throughout the entire day–so nice to see. While Robyn got ready at The Harborside Inn (where the classic restaurant Christie’s used to be), Brian got ready at the Pearls of Newport, just off Thames Street. Then we were off for a bridal party photo shoot around Newport—including stops at Castle Hill Inn, Ocean Avenue (for on-the-rocks pics), and the Elms mansion—before heading to Astors’ Beechwood for the ceremony and reception.
Russell Morin Fine Catering catered their wedding in great style. The ballroom tables were named for famous beaches with special significance to Robyn and Brian–including some of our favorites such as Elbow Beach in Bermuda and Menemsha Beach on Martha’s Vineyard.
Robyn and Brian, thank you very much for having us photograph your wedding!

Jenny and Mike’s Wedding at the Red Barn at Hampshire College in Amherst MA
On a gorgeous blue sky and green grass day in mid-July, Jenny and Mike were married outdoors at the Red Barn at Hampshire College, the beautiful farm-like venue in Amherst, Massachusetts.
It was nice to be back in the Northampton region for Jenny and Mike’s very personalized and picturesque wedding. For the personalized part, in addition to their custom vows, the readings were really eclectic–and included Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” as well as “The Velveteen Rabbit.”
As for the picturesque part, please check out the photos (note Mike’s cool off-white suit and the guys’ blue jackets, green ties and pocket squares from R. Derwin Clothiers, a boutique clothing store in Litchfield, Connecticut, owned by Mike’s mom and step-father).
Inside the intimate Red Barn, there were touching toasts from Jenny’s dad Ira and sister Stephanie. Then it was Mike’s brother Jon’s turn as the Best Man. Jon delivered his toast and then segued into a surprise. Channeling his inner Blues Brother, Jon belted out “JDate Blues” (Mike and Jenny met via JDate.com) which he wrote for the occasion. Really kicked-off the night…hilarious.
Later in the evening after speeches from both Jenny and Mike, Mike played guitar, serenading Jenny with a really sweet song. Then it was the band’s turn…the Nite-Time band from Manhattan was excellent, especially Amy Serrago’s great vocals.
A terrific time, thanks Jenny and Mike so much for having us document your wedding!
