"Thanks so much David!! Aside from documenting the red-letter day brilliantly, your spectacular attitude meant so much to me and my wife. The proofs look great. Just want to say that we can't stop looking at all of these, thank you! We love them, they are wonderful and it was a pleasure having you photograph the wedding.
Love,
Ann and Rob"
It was truly my pleasure. Ann and Rob had a wonderful wedding and I had a lot of fun photographing it. We started the day at the Providence Biltmore where I met Ann, her bridesmaids and family getting ready. The bride getting ready in the mirror is a little standard, but it is pretty, so I try to get variations on it. Having the Providence Court House in the background was nice.
The ceremony was at St. Joseph's Church on Hope St.
Children always make for fun photos and Ann's nephews were no exception. I was crouched in the aisle trying to be inconspicuous when I realized I had an observer.
It might have rained all day the day before and well into the afternoon of May 19, but by the time we arrived at Blithewold Mansion the sky had—well, it hadn't cleared, but it was dry enough to take pictures outside.
Even though it was fine outside, I love the inside of Blithewold Mansion. It feels homey, like a place you could live instead of like a museum. And I love stairs, there's so much you can do with them and the gray light from outside was perfect.
Like I said, children are walking, or piggy-backing, photo opportunties.

This photo almost gets me to laugh out loud every time I see it. I mentioned that Ann has nephews (four actually) and they just loved Rob. So much so that Ann's father mentioned in his speech how he knew Rob was in the family when he saw how much the boys accepted him. So when Ann and Rob went to cut the cake, Rob took a moment to show one of his now nephews (nephews-in-law?) just how he was going to "cut" the cake. Like I said, a very fun wedding.
