Allison + Michael

We photographed a lovely wedding reception for Allison and Michael at the Astor's Mansion in Newport. This was a celebration to share with their family and friends as they previously had a small ceremony. Allison went to high school with me so it was especially fun to photograph her wedding and see so many faces I know (and get extra hugs). Just a really sweet day...





A few favorites of the couple...





I loved how you could really feel the history of the place, almost like the echoes of countless parties from by gone eras still lingered in the air and mingled with their celebration.



Allison + Michael's little girl...one of my very favorite moments of the evening. That's love, in it's purest form...





I loved watching them dance together- something about the way their arms would drape over each other was at once so soft and so ardent.





Allison + Michael,
Such a warm feeling to be among your family and friends- the true meaning of celebration.
