A Summer Engagement at Sachuest Point in Newport, Rhode Island

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 Snowy Winter Engagement Session in Rhode Island

Winters here in New England can be “snow” much fun! When Sara expressed that she wanted to have her engagement session on freshly fallen snow, I was definitely game! We couldn’t set a date and had to just play it by ear and wait for the weather to do it’s thing! We both saw a forecast coming in for a few inches on a Saturday and thankfully because it was winter I wasn’t booked so we set a date. Well, the clouds delivered the most perfect snowfall and some flakes were still flying as we walked around Roger Williams Park. It was definitely a shorter session with some breaks to bundle up and get warm, but these two definitley were great sports and the cold didn’t seem to bother any of us!

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

A Valentine's Day Wedding | Galentine's Celebration | Newport Wedding Photographer

I thought now would be a good time to get caught up on the blog as I kick off my 2019 season which is jam packed full of glorious weddings! This styled shoot collaboration was in my favorite seaside city of Newport, Rhode Island at Queen Anne’s Loft. The florals and decor were romantically designed in pinks and reds reflective of the holiday of love. Oh and that dress…was absolutely to die for! We all know I love a good blush dress and the feeling of romance in the air!

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!

Roseland Park Woodstock Connecticut Wedding | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer | Amber + Donald

On the shores of Roseland Lake in Woodstock, Connecticut on the perfect Fall day, with a reception in an adorable barn decked with sunflowers and the most amazing barbecue I have ever tasted, Amber and Donald said I do! As a New England girl, I’m a total fan of barn weddings and country music. Fall is my favorite season and when the leaves start changing I’m ready to go hiking and take my yearly trip to New Hampshire.

Amber glowed with excitement in her gorgeous flowing gown, perfect flower crown and rose gold halo custom made ring. After sharing a “faux” first look around the corner of the red barn, seeing the look on Donald’s face as his bride made her way down the aisle on the arms of her parents was priceless. The generations of family and great grandparents there to witness their marriage just made this wedding all the more perfect. Congratulations Amber and Donald, I wish you many more adventures as you share a life of love!

Boston Seaport Engagement Session | Christopher Columbus Park | Brianna and Brian

This past winter I partnered with The Boston Bride and The Newport Bride to give away an engagement session to one lucky couple. I love doing things like this, because our New England wedding community is so talented and it gives us a chance to work together to serve couples and also support each other in business. 

I was so happy when Brianna and Brian won my session! When she commented on the post to win, I felt like we connected right away and they would be a perfect couple to win! They got engaged at Christopher Columbus Park in Boston, so what better place to capture their engagement?! We started with some drinks at Tia's on a warm Spring day, and then proceeded over to the bench where Brian proposed. How cute are they! Congratulations Brianna and Brian, I had so much fun with both of you!!

Mount Hope Farm Engagement | Cassi and Mike | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer

Thanksgiving day has gone, Christmas is in the air (and on the radio), and the end of the year is quickly approaching. I'm, so thankful for all of the beautiful couples that have trusted my vision and allowed me to capture their most special moments! We've worked with and met so many adorable couples this year, and can't wait for the 2018 wedding season! You've probably heard me say this before, but I love Fall! The colors, the snuggles, the smells of pumpkin and apple (candles for the most part, unless my mom bakes!) it is all so comforting! 

One of our favorite (ok, their ALL my favorites!) Fall engagement was with Cassi and Mike at Mount Hope Farm, in the quaint seaside town of Bristol, RI. I love this location from its bright and cheery farmhouses, quintessential New England stone walls and history, and sweeping fields and trees. The foliage was near peak and we found the perfect area of bright leaves to create a cozy atmosphere. They even brought the most adorable plaid blanket to snuggle up in! I can't wait to capture their vows next Summer, congratulations Cassi and Mike, you two are just adorable!

Connecticut Sunflower and Harry Potter Engagement Session with Michelle and Brian | RI Wedding Photographer

I met Michelle when we were both freelancing as graphic designers last year, and we bonded instantly over our obsession with Harry Potter! When she asked if we could incorporate wands and a Wizarding theme into their engagement session I was more than happy to oblige! I've been wanting to do an engagement session at Buttonwood Farm in Griswold, CT since last year, but unfortunately I was too late and the sunflowers were no more when I went to check out the field. I knew this had to happen this year and that Michelle and Brian were the perfect couple to frolic through the flowers with! We had the most beautiful weather and delicious ice cream after as well! Congrats guys, you are completely magical!

xx,
Alicia
