I met up with Nell and Patrick in June to do a pre-wedding portrait at the location of their wedding reception, a beautiful amazing place where their family spends the summer in Jamestown. As I have mentioned before, we were totally lucky to have great weather all day, thank you!!! They had the ceremony at the chapel at Salve Regina, fun fact, Nell's parents were also married there 26 years ago! I think that they also had a reception in Jamestown. Anyway, it was a fantastic day and here are the photos to prove it...
The puppy was totally un-interested in the chaos going on around him while everyone was running around the house getting ready...
Beautiful bouquets by Stoneblossom, as usual.
This is a Vera Wang gown inspired by Jackie Kennedy's dress, AMAZING!!!
Everyone helped get Nell dressed.
Nell's Dad presented her with a string of pearls to wear on her wedding day, so sweet!
There was so much toole in that dress Nell was lost in it int he back seat of the car.
Arriving at Salve... 
A beautiful shot by Ara of Nell waiting for the ceremony to start.
The 'Chapel' at Salve, very beautiful.
A very hot ceremony, whew, we were all really sweating in there!
This place has a major wow factor!
Their exit from the ceremony out to the lawn...
The tent was absolutely beautiful, green and white chairs created a garden feel.
The wedding party out on the beach, this is their back yard! How lucky!

Nell and Patrick coming back up from the beach to the cocktail hour...
How about that view?!
This menu card was so deluxe with the raised printing.
There were these little stone heads at the tables, very cool.
Another masterpiece by Jim Kennedy! There is a little red cardinal in the middle, too bad you have to cut it!

How cute are they?! There are often funny cake cutting moments, this is no exception.
OK, this lighting moment was created by Tony Ormonde, if you are in any way considering doing extra lighting at your wedding, DO IT!!!! I can't tell you enough how much of a difference lighting makes in the photographs, it's amazing how much more interesting and spectacular the photos look when there is additional lighting and spot lights, do it, do it, do it!!!
The room lights changed color as people danced the night away, so fun! Even Nana was rocking out.
Now the tent is blue... another end of the night smooch, got to do it!
