Erica and Evan are awesome, the wedding was perfect (and the rain held off!) and we had a great time, as did they. Pardon my lack of additional information, but I have a sleeping baby on my lap!

Where: Hyatt Regency in Newport RI, one of the best views in Newport!

The orange flowers looked amazing with the baby blue dresses

I love this photo with the iconic Newport bridge... before the fog rolled in and covered the bridge!

A different take on the first photo... notice that Evan and Erica were brave enough to climb up on this wall for the photo... like they had any other choice! Jesse would have put them up there himself!

Erica painted the table numbers herself- they all were gorgeous!

things got a little out of control with this crowd...

this is the best worm photo I've ever taken. I LOVE this... hahaha

I’ve known Lia since we lived next door to each other freshman year of college… and despite her blasting U2 every morning, I still like her It was so nice to get to know Rich through the wedding planning. He not only loves Lia and makes her laugh constantly with his silliness, but has become a father to Sophia. Together, these 3 are one cute family. I’m sp happy for you two, even if Rich lured Lia to VA!!

The details:
Wedding Coordinator- Katelyn Hill
Hairstylist – Kristin at Traveling Beauty
Makeup- Michelle at Traveling Beauty
Dress Designer(s) – Alfred Sung
Florist – Holly Ewell
Cake – Sugar Plum Bakery
Band/DJ – Cape Tunes

I LOVE these umbrellas. These girls were the best bridesmaids- fun and happy and completely supportive of Lia all day long!

Lia- you are so beautiful!!

Lia and her gorgeoud daughter, Sophie

I love that Jesse takes such nice photos of the grooms... especially when they look this good!

I love that Rich is checking out Lia in this one!

Rich is a real wall flower

And we are completely smitten.

We are on maternity leave until the first of the year. Though we will be responding to new client inquiries- for portraits and weddings.

We’ll try and update the blog and website as much as possible, but our top priority right now is cuddling with Autumn Jayne Theresa Ciras.

Well, by popular demand I am posting some more of my maternity shoot. I’m really glad that I did these- and did them around 33 weeks, because now, at 38 weeks, I am a swollen, puffy mess. Ok, that might be an overstatement, but I sure as hell don’t feel as cute and pregnant as I did 2 months ago!

I can’t imagine not having these photos for my daughter to look at someday… I think I have seen one photo of my mother pregnant, and she’s wearing a moo-moo and smoking a cigarette. (Don’t worry, mom, I don’t judge. It was before doctor’s went crazy about that, and I eventually went to Columbia, so I think my brain development is just fine.)

Paul & Resina are awesome- not only do they have this adorable little family, but they are completely into each other. I mean, you completely expect that from a couple that fell in love after falling off a motorcycle together.

Here are the details:
Hairstylist – Lisa Malaguti
Makeup- Aristocracy salon
Dress Designer(s) – Divinci
Seamstress – Mary Aguilar (made the bride’s son’s shirt to match the groomsmen’s)
Officiant – Jim kerchner
Florist –Stop and shop
Cake – Sara Pimental
Band/DJ – jeff baker
The bride made the boutonnieres,cake stands and so much more herself! (Well, I’m sure she suckered in some poor bridesmaids…)

Paul and Resina had a gorgeous beach ceremony under an arbor that Paul made! They had a family sand ceremony and a Buddhist hooding. It was so special.

Then things got crazy....
