Molly and Andrew have loved spending summers in Newport — the nautical charm, the coastal vibe, the New England character — have drawn them back again and again. When it was time to plan their wedding they knew that the Newport area was where they would host their wedding. The Glen Manor House, right on the banks of the Sakonnet River, offered everything Molly & Andrew loved about Newport. Filled with historic charm and sweeping views of the water, the Glen Manor House was the perfect fit for their elegant summer celebration. 

Molly and Andrew are the epitome of fun, caring and laid back. Together, they just fit, a perfect pair that greets everyone with a genuine warmth that seems rare these days. Being around them feels like you are engulfed in a ray of sunshine — think I’m exaggerating? Just ask their loved ones!! So you can imagine that their wedding day was filled with laughter, smiles and lots of dancing fun!! Molly chose a palette of pinks, pastels and grays, and accented the reception with sparkling gold. 

Molly & Andrew — thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day — we were honored to be there to document such a milestone in your life together!! Enjoy some of our favorite images!!

This past spring I was honored to be asked to photograph an inspiration shoot with the talented ladies of Les Fleurs. Kerianne, director of Weddings and Events at Les Fleurs, envisioned an editorial shoot embracing old world romance paired with light and airy details, creating an effortlessly romantic vibe with modern and fresh touches. 

Kerianne shared, “Our inspiration for this shoot stemmed from the cool, tranquil tones of Serenity—one half of Pantone’s hybrid Color of the Year—and the natural lushness offered by crisp summer greenery.” She continued, “We brought in ‘something old’ with the candleholders, which were handpicked local antiques, and the compotes, which belonged to my grandmother. “Sentimental pieces can add so much character to your special day.” (excerpt from Swooned feature)

This was such a fun project to shoot — from the delicately created stationary pieces from Proper Paper to the perfectly styled gowns provided by BHLDN, everything came together beautifully!! I cannot say enough about the rock star team of creatives that participated — if you’re planning a wedding, check out the resources below — they are simply incredible to work with.

I’ve been trying and trying to narrow down my favorites from our recent trip to the United Kingdom — Scotland is proving to be extraordinarily hard!! I mean I just cannot pair down the amount of beauty that is the land of Scotland, there’s just SO much to share!! So instead of the planned single post for Scotland I’ve broken it down into two postings. The first being today!!

(If you’d like to see PART I of our 10th Anniversary Trip to the United Kingdom, click here.)

We started our journey in Scotland by arriving via the super speed train from London to Edinburgh’s Waterloo Station. Immediately upon arriving street level we heard bag pipes playing in the distance. Talk about perfection!! Edinburgh is just as you might imagine, filled with character and history. We adored Edinburgh, the sandstone buildings, the medieval history, the people, the charm. We had been told that Edinburgh is a unique and magical place and it was incredible to experience it first hand. 

Following our first night in the city we set out to the Isle of Skye and the Scottish Highlands via Rabbies Trail Burners. I cannot speak more highly of this company and our experience with Rabbies (you can read my quick review here). What followed were three days of beautiful scenery, history and Scottish charm. It left such an impression on us and we absolutely cannot wait to return. The Isle of Skye in particular is like a different world and we loved exploring the popular (and off the beaten track) scenic vistas. 

In today’s post I’ll be sharing a bit of Ediburgh Castle long with the first half of our trip to the Highlands (you’ll even catch our first sighting of a “hairy heilan coo”!!) In PART III I’ll share more of the Highlands and finish out our trip to lovely Scotland. When can we go back?!
