If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, it’s a shame. La Bella Bride is a new and very high quality wedding publication for New England. (I”m a big fan of publishers who invest in good cover stock and make a magazine that feels good in your hands.)

It was our second wedding in Rhode Island in two weeks and once again, it was awesome. Beautiful weather, a beautiful location, and, well, beautiful people. You may recall Adrien and Sergei from their engagement session that we shot in downtown Manhattan awhile back. We’ve got a shot from that session now gracing our homepage.
For this event, I called on a friend of mine, a great photographer from Rhode Island named Kristin Cioffi to join me. And, with the exception of a little glitch in the beginning of the day (imagine that you decide to get a couple of suites at a very very small luxury hotel on the water to get ready on the day of your wedding and the proprietor tells you that you can’t take pictures there because they are under exclusive contract with Grace Ormonde??) the event was flawless. It all worked out in the end because we simply went over to Blithewold Mansion (where the wedding was taking place) to take pictures. Wonderful people there and a fantastic setting for a wedding. So great to have been invited up there to join Adrien and Sergei for their day…
Loved the individually labled votives at each place setting.

This was the first of two weekend weddings in a row for us up in Rhode Island. Somehow the Ocean State was channeling me.
This weekend was Katrina + Taylor’s wedding in the absolutely charming area known as Watch Hill. Their ceremony at the Watch Hill Chapel and their reception at the Misquamicut Club were wonderfully old world. Charm and elegant simplicity were the order of the day and were expertly coordinated by Jen Brinton. Katrina selected a wonderfully diaphanous Vera Wang that looked just great flowing in the ocean breeze.
Here Katrina pins the boutonniere on her dad, James Courter.
Katrina and Taylor rode off from the ceremony in the family’s sweet fire-engine red convertible Ford roadster. (I’m guessing it’s about a 1929 or so).
What I didn’t know was that Katrina and Taylor had originally met as two-year-olds at an Election Night dinner the evening Katrina’s father had won his 1982 run for Congress. Of course, Taylor too comes from a long lineage of political leadership. His great-grandfather was Governor of New York from 1915-1918 and his mother, Christie Todd-Whitman was Governor of New Jersey from 1994-2001.
For those of you who missed Katrina and Taylor’s big writeup in The New York Times… check it out.
