Wedding Details, Nicole and Blake, Rosecliff Mansion

Exquisite Events orchestrated all the details of Nicole and Blake's wedding day to reflect their love of New Orleans. Tupelo Honey Design created all the artistic paper design from the invite to the table cards, while Confectionary Designs crafted a cake that was a remembrance of her grandmother's wedding. Here are some of the details...

Wedding, Rosecliff...

Mary Alice and Braden, Belle Mer, Newport, RI

Oh what a night! Mary Alice is one of the most expressive brides that I have had the pleasure of photographing. She along with Braden and their families were a lot of fun to be with. I teamed up with the talented Faith Dugan, whose lifestyle photographic approach added another dimension to the coverage. Mike Henriques from Artistic Wedding Video Group is always a pleasure to work with. Toni Chandler's floral design was accented by the use of ferns which in New Zealand symbolizes fertility and good luck. Mary Alice and Braden "saw" each other before the ceremony so we were able to visit several locations before returning to Belle Mer. Here is the slideshow...enjoy!
