One Shell Of A Wedding! : The Photoshoot of a Lifetime


I think this is my absolute, undeniably, holycrap, let's-make-a-gallery-wrap-out-of-you favorite wedding photo. It's been my desktop background for a while now and I don't see that changing any time soon. This is one of those photos that 100% completely confirms why you chose the wedding photographer you did - when a photo takes your breath away you know you're onto something good.

I truly treasure the shots we have with our wedding party. They are certainly not your typical smile and pose classic photos, to me they're so much more.


I dragged our poor wedding party down a steep and uneven hill in hopes of some truly New England group shots. The groomsmen kindly escorted my ladies (who, in their heels, were holding on for dear life).


We made our way to the bridge, and our photog stayed on land to snag some of the group shots I so desired. The salty sea air was all around us.



As if there weren't already enough pics of us from the day, we took a few more just in case. Fortunately, these are some of my faves.


While we snuck in a few more "just us" photos, our second shooter Katie grabbed individual pics of the wedding party who had made their way to dry land.


We made our way to a beautiful garden area, and something clearly cracked the group up. If only I could remember what had happened.


Then we got serious.


I got a few photos with just my girls...


...and Mr. Seashell got a few shots with his groomsmen. He had definitely just been the recipient of an "ass grab" in this picture.


As we were wrapping up, the staff served us champagne indicating that it was officially time to join the cocktail hour.


It was time to get the party started!

One Shell Of A Wedding! : You & Me


Once we were on the road to our wedding reception, the gravity of the day sunk in. We had just gotten married - married! It was simply surreal.

For the first time since we'd arrived to Rhode Island we had a moment that truly felt our own.



After toasting our nuptials, Mr. Seashell asked me if I felt any different. We both agreed that the day felt huge - larger than us - and I watched my groom get misty eyed. Even seven months later, those quiet moments we shared in the car just after our wedding ceremony are among my favorite and most sentimental memories of the day.


We pulled up to the Glen Manor House and I tried to soak the moment in. We had arrived. As husband and wife we hopped out of the car and posed for photos by the vintage Rolls Royce.



We wrapped up photos by the car and got our first peek inside the venue. You're going to have to hang in there a little longer for those, but I just have to say it took my breath away. Seeing everything come together was just remarkable. 

After getting a peek at the flowers, tables, cake, and details we ran upstairs for a photo in the window. What? You'll see.


(Can you spot the bride and groom? And while you're at it, feel free to notice my non-DIY fail floral letters!)


Finally, it was time to head outside and take in the gorgeous surroundings.


Up next: the photoshoot of a lifetime! (Yeah - there's more...)
