Not only is Sachuest Point in Middletown, Rhode Island one of my favorite places to photograph and hike, but this session is especially special! I’ve known Greg since we were kids, we went to high school together and everything, so it was an honor to be asked to photograph their upcoming September wedding. They are the absolute CUTEST! And of course, champagne was popped and they were adventurous enough to brave the tall grasses for those dreamy sunset photos. I love engagement sessions because it gives me a chance to interact with couples before the big day and get them used to posing for the camera so on the wedding day we can grab those just married photos quickly and get them on to cocktail hour and joyfullness. Congratulations Logan and Greg!

A Boho Beach Wedding at The Cushman House Block Island
It has been years since I’ve been to Block Island, I haven’t actually gone there since I was a kid and we took a Girl Scout day trip to the beach! I hardly even remember that trip, but I will always remember this one. Katie and Seth were planning their wedding for 2020, when 2020 had a mind of it’s own and forced so many couples to cancel and re-schedule. Thankfully I was available for their new date and ready to sail away!
The Cushman House is a beautiful historical Victorian home with a wrap around porch and sweeping views of the ocean for as far as you can see! Down a path of flowering trees, a White Way of Delight if I must say, the path to the beach rolls up a dune to the ceremony site on the beach. From the scene decorated with gorgeous florals from Painted Rock Flowers and rentals From Uniquely Chic Vintage, to the perfect temperature and shining sun, this really was the best day ever!
I love a good first look, and Seth’s reaction to seeing Katie in her wedding gown was definitely one for the books. We then snuck away for some seaside portraits and so the couple could see their ceremony set up before the guests arrived. The day was full of love, laughter, friends and of course their adorable doggies! Congratulations again, Katie and Seth, and thank you for having me sail away with you!

The Barn on Bensons Pond Wedding | Middleborough Massachusetts | Felicia + Chuck
White and greenery rustic elegance wedding | Middleborough, MA
Felicia and Chuck are MARRIED!! It was a warm and sunny day at the end of September when you would think Fall would be in the air but this felt more like a summer day! The Barn on Bensons is tucked off a quiet country road in Massachusetts and had the most beautiful and elegant vintage details from the bridal suite to the reception space. These two are just so adorable, full of love, joy and appreciation that I was sad their big day was over but full of joy while I drove home! Before the wedding even started, Felicia gave me a hug and was like “I love my wedding! I love my wedding vendors!” and as someone who puts her heart and soul into her small business, that meant the world to me!
The whole day was special, but my favorite part of the wedding was Felicia’s Dad telling stories of her childhood where they wrote and recorded music together. This made the Father Daughter dance that much more special when the song cut out to a track Felicia’s Dad wrote and recorded for her! I cried! How amazing!
Congratulations again Felicia + Chuck! Wishing you the very best and all the happiness in the world! xx

Providence Public Library Wedding | Danielle and Kyle | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer
Danielle and Kyle have the cutest story of “how we met” that I think I have ever heard! Danielle was living in Providence when Kyle moved to the apartment above her. When he moved in he was looking for some string, and happened to knock on Danielle’s door in his search. What a surprise for him that he had just met his future wife!
We had their engagement session in Providence, since the city is so special to them, and it’s no surprise they chose to tie the knot downtown as well. The Providence Public Library boasts historic details and luxurious marble finishes, along with stunning floral arrangements which made the perfect backdrop for Danielle and Kyle to celebrate their love!

Blush Ballerina Wedding Inspiration | Newport Rhode Island Wedding Photography at Queen Anne's Loft
As a dancer myself, if you could ask me to envision my dream wedding, this would be pretty close to it! There is something about the elegance and grace of a ballet dancer, surrounded by blush and glittery details that makes a dreamy wedding come to life. Especially when your Bride brings her pointe shoes, loves to get dressed up and fits the role perfectly! This collaboration couldn’t be done without some of my favorite Rhode Island wedding vendors and the perfect Newport wedding venue.
What else do you say to a ballerina bride?
Merde!
Sorry (not sorry!) there were so many photos in this blog! I love them all so much! Bring me ALL the ballerina brides!
Xo,
Alicia

Rhode Island Bridal Portraits | M.A.W. Beauty | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer
Spring is in the air and the Pantone color of the year fits the season with perfection! I love Spring because it is when flowers bloom, the winter chill starts to leave, and vibrant colors are everywhere. This bridal portrait session was inspired by Spring, gorgeous florals, soft and bright colors and vintage glamor! We kick off wedding season this upcoming weekend here at Alicia Ann Photographie, so it was so much fun to be able to have a fun portrait session before we get ready for our biggest season yet!

Scales and Shells Newport Rhode Island | Half Shell Bridal Shower
A bridal shower is such a fun time for couples! A brunch with friends, great food, and of course mimosas in the quaint seaside city of Newport. Our last shoot at Scales and Shells highlighted the upstairs, but today we are looking at the downstairs, called the Half Shell. Equipped with a private bar, lots of tables, colorful walls and big windows, the Half Shell is the perfect nook for any celebration!

Providence Fall Engagement Session | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer | Danielle + Kyle
I knew the city of Providence was special to Danielle and Kyle as soon as I heard that they not only had their Spring of 2019 wedding planned in the city, but also wanted their engagement session to take place there! Danielle and Kyle met in Providence, on the East Side, so it seems fitting that their engagement be celebrated with the city skyline in the background!
Danielle is a teacher and loves running, Kyle coaches football so naturally they are at home outside. They love the sea and love the city so we started in Prospect Park and walking around the neighborhood, then moved down to India Point Park for a walk by the river. I’m so excited for their Providence Public Library this coming April! Congratulations Danielle and Kyle!

Newport Harbor Hotel Wedding | Castle Hill Lighthouse Wedding | Victoria + Brandon | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer
On the most beautiful Spring day in April, in the lovely seaside town of Newport, Victoria and Brandon tied the knot! The day was warm and sunny and Victoria looked stunning in her blush shimmering dress. These two High School sweethearts had their first look at one of my favorite locations, the Castle Hill Lighthouse and a seaside ceremony at the Newport Harbor Hotel. We had the perfect backdrop for their nautical theme, and I wish nothing but the best to these lovebirds as they journey into their marriage adventure!
Thank you to all the fabulous vendors that made this day special:
