suzanne & dan

i will never forget the first time i spoke with Suzanne & Dan on the phone. i think it was easily a two hour conversation talking about everything from how they met, how he proposed, places they have traveled, their incredible connection &
of course, the importance of photography in their life & relationship.

i remember getting off the phone smiling from ear to ear & telling
Mark how inspiring it was to chat with them -- it was an instant connection. needless to say, i was
beyond thrilled when they told me they wanted me to document their special day!
Suzanne & Dan's beautiful wedding took place in gorgeous Newport, Rhode Island. their ceremony was at
St. Joseph's Church followed by an amazing reception at
Castle Hill Inn. it was an
incredible day & night.
Suzanne & Dan,,, your zest, passion & love for not only each other, but for LIFE itself, is truly infectious & inspiring.
Ang & i enjoyed every minute and couldn't have felt more welcomed by you & your ah!mazing family and friends. thank you for being Y

U -- may these images plant big huge smiles on your faces & in your hearts. with great heart & gratitude, always,
