At the risk of making a bad pun, my latest clients, Sweety and Dan Christian were absolutely the SWEETEST couple! I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding on a gorgeous fall day this past September 27, 2013. Though Dan grew up in Warren, RI, and the couple now resides in Long Island, they chose to head to Rehoboth , MA for their special day. Francis Farm boasts a unique country setting and has been putting on events for over a century.
My assistant Richard Burns and I started out in Portsmouth, where the bride and bridesmaids got ready. Having captured some fun shots there, we headed to the ceremony site at St. Louis De France in Swansea, MA. Sweety looked stunning in her strapless mermaid-style gown, highlighted by a colorful bouquet. The newly married couple exited the church to a cascade of bubbles that they had provided to each guest.
We took the majority of the couple and bridal party photos at the scenic farm. The rustic local had several authentic accouterment that enhanced the shots, including an old barn and vintage car. We took some wonderfully glamorous shots of the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Christian. Inside the venue area, guests were invited to “pluck” their paper leaf and acorn place settings and head to their table, where the festivities continued on. It was a night full of dancing and frivolity, which even included some “Bollywood” style dancing. Best of luck to this SWEET couple!
