This Weekapaug Inn wedding, in Westerly, Rhode Island was just dreamy. I usually don’t go out of order, but, I just finished up this wonderful couple’s album… and their images were on my desktop just dying to be shared.

Caroline and Rob got married on a BEAUTIFUL October day in Westerly, Rhode Island. Everything from the weather to the amazing flowers, to the sperry tent, and of course the location, was perfectly autumn and felt like an elegant backyard garden party.

The Weekapaug Inn meant a lot to Caroline, since her family used to kayak right in front of it on vacation. Rob was the best man at a wedding I shot the year before ( shout out to Chrissie and Andrew!); I love when I feel like good friends with the couple and their wedding party while shooting. I got in my car at the end of the night, and thought, ” Wow. I could shoot that wedding every day.”  Great couple. Great wedding. Great Day.

Enjoy some of my favorites from their day:

Thanks to Shawn for being an amazing second shooter. Always. 
You made it to the bottom! Want some advice from the bride? Of course you do. 🙂

What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be?

• It’s so easy to second-guess your decisions as you craft the day – everything from the dress, to the décor, to the music, and so much more. I planned this wedding with very little help, so it was really easy to get overwhelmed and doubt my instincts. The best things I did were to stay off Pinterest, trust the experts I had found, ask only for the opinions of those who really know me, and evaluate every decision through the lens of the simple, cohesive, personal theme I was hoping to create.
