Adeline and Grace Wedding Photography Blog

What a beautiful bride! Jen was glowing. Keith picked the venue, Glen Manor which was the site of their ceremony and reception. Guess what…. No rain. It was one of the few weddings this season without rain. In fact, it was hot. The couple chose to do a first sighting, which I am a big fan of. This allowed them to enjoy cocktail hour with friends and family. I know Jennifer from way back so it is always fun to shoot a wedding when you know a ton of the guests. Russell Morin was the caterer and I always look forward to their cheesecake lollipops. I don’t ever eat hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour. Those are not for the vendors they are for the guests… and I am always busy with dancing and the party once the desert is passed, however every vendor I know will take one second to sneak a cheesecake lollipop. I think Russell Morin and their staff know that and always make sure we get one. The best man speech mad me cry… it was a good one. I hid behind my camera so no one saw…Jen and Keith both got a little teary. It was a great wedding. This couple was just fantastic, they exuded warmth. Jennifer really just wanted to get into jeans in party the rest of the night but she was so beautiful in her dress that I don’t think any of her friends and family would have let her. Of course, the night went so smoothly because of the great staff at Glen Manor but also because they had wedding planner Christine Clark with Planned to Perfection. Thanks to Christine the couples, their friends and their family enjoyed the night and all the little details.

That was a fun wedding!
Melissa was gorgeous; the whole atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Both Jenna and I started out at the Hyatt for some getting ready photos. After hair and makeup the groomsmen and bridesmaids all headed off in a Newport Trolley to the church ceremony. Melissa arrived in style in a Bentley with her mom and dad. Yes, it was raining again but it didn’t matter!
At the Ceremony I got a small taste of the paparazzi that was invited to the wedding. I think every person in that church had a camera. I think some people even had two cameras! As soon as Melissa hit the end of the aisle all you could hear were the clicking of cameras and people trying to get a shot of Melissa walking down the aisle. It was intense. At the end of the ceremony we all had a good laugh about it!

I could tell this was a dancing bunch but I had no idea that Dalton’s grandmother would be introduced to Poison by BBD. For those of you that know the song, you can imagine how hilarious it was. This wedding party will take the prize for the best intro dances. We had some good ones that you can see below. These were not only planned ahead of time but were obviously rehearsed.

Belle Mer was beautiful. Taking pictures was so much fun with these two! The guests were having a fantastic time mingling, eating, and of course taking pictures.
One of the funniest moments at the reception was when the band played Jesse’s Girl and one of Dalton’s friends proceeded to dance…in a theatrical comedic way, with jazz hands and tip toes with Dalton’s Mother who got in on the theatrics.

This was a great day with a great couple. These two have big hearts and they wear them on their sleeves, and yes, people love them so much that Melissa and Dalton managed to convince 200 people from all over the United States and abroad to meet in RHODE ISLAND. Not a beautiful island somewhere in tropical weather, but Rhode Island in November. That’s how much people love these two. Thanks Sinclair for that…

Thank you all, Melissa, Dalton and camera crazy family for allowing me to be there! And get it on Film!!
