Samantha and Mike at the Naragansett Towers Part 2

Posted by Mariah

Our first photo stop after the ceremony is this beautiful field right off the main road a few miles from the Towers. I thought it would be nice place for the family pictures. It's one of our favorites spots, we've used it a few times... but it always looks different. Today, the sun was in just the right spot, and if there were leaves on the trees, you'd think it was summer.

Sam was just standing in this spot being her beautiful self...

Sam and Mike have REALLY nice families... everyone was so great and cooperative for photos. I tried to joke with Mike a little about cutting his baby sister some slack... Rachel has three older brothers! She tells me they can be a little over protective (I think that's putting it mildly). Anyway Mike did not appreciate my advice and says it's just his job to be breathing down Rachel's neck... sorry Rachel, I tried. And guys... you have your work cut out for you because Rachel is hot stuff- good luck!

P.S. I'd like to add that Mike's two brothers are single and looking for love (ha-ha)... so apparently it's okay for them, but not for baby sister...

Our newest snapper, Marisa took this great shot of Mike and Sam. I'm so proud!

My view...

Marisa is on a roll... she took this cute pic too.

One of my favorites of the day, just love everything about it.

Sassy ladies.

That's the Towers in the background...

I love the beach at this time of year.

Sam doesn't like the posed shots of people kissing through the veil (neither do I- it's a little cheesy) but this is pretty cute and spontaneous.

Gotta love me some sun flare right?

That's it for today... tomorrow I'll post all of Melissa's beautiful detail shots from the reception- she was busy snapping those while Marissa and I shot the formals. Also, lots of fun reception pics to post too, so stay tuned...

Brenda and Bryan in Little Compton, RI Photos by Melissa and Marisa

What a great wedding! I've been looking forward to it for so many reasons! Little Compton, an antique firetruck, a backyard reception, super nice people! How can you lose!? I was also looking forward to it because my assistant (or as Brenda would say "Sidekick") was my best friend, Marisa, who is an amazing photographer. I knew we were going to have a good time. I kept saying to Marisa "She's a school teacher and he's a fireman! Isn't that great?" I was sort of obsessed with the cuteness of a teacher fireman wedding! And Little Compton could not be a sweeter place for it to happen! It's all really too perfect!

Having some fun getting ready

Bryan's mom bought this garter for Brenda. She is the littlest thing so it didn't even come close to fitting on her leg! Well, it's the thought that counts...
Can you believe this house? It actually belongs to Brenda's cousin's boss. It's right on the water in Tiverton
Here's Brenda with all her bridesmaids. They are all sisters and all Brenda's cousins.
Marisa took this funny photo of me taking a photo
The handsome groom and fireman, Bryan
The beautiful bride and teacher, Brenda! Brenda thought this wallpaper was a little if-y, but I was all about it.
What a beautiful job Sayles Livingston does! This broach belonged to one of Brenda's Grandmothers


When I saw these programs I immediately thought of Trish. She would do something super crafty like this. They were made out of fabric and each had a different button! So nice!!!
How cute are they?
Marisa was up in the balcony. She got this great shot of the lighting of the unity candle.
Marisa also got this shot. It was a request from the bride. Her parents were married this church and have the exact same photo.

I think they are happy!
It's the firetruck!!
How great is that?
I love these shots!
I made Marisa hang out the window and take photos of the truck en route. Don't worry about Marisa! She didn't get hurt and I slowed down for her safety. I love the cans tied to the back.

Here we are at Brenda's parents' house. This yard had so many photo ops it was hard to choose.

Everyone wants to kiss the bride!

Guarding the gift table! I love his bow tie!
The snap! folio in all its glory!

Marisa also got this entrance shot. Pretty cute!
First Dance...

We went outside to take some more shots after dinner. I love this barn!

Bryan was doing some of his own snap-ing!


More Cowbell!!!

I love this one of Bryan and his nephew, Colby.
Last shot of the night!
