Saturday found me down in Newport shooting Allison and Todd's rocking wedding. I met up with the two of them as they were getting ready at the Newport Beach Hotel and Suites. It was very, very sunny, but as we left for the church in Portsmouth, a thick and misty fog rolled in just covering the beach and shore. It was very uber I thought, as it diffracted all the light!
The ceremony was in a colorful church, St. Anthony's in Portsmouth, and was a full Mass. At the end of the ceremony there was a short receiving line and then we hopped back into the limo and headed down broadway Newport to an alley I know about, that is just out of the way and very cool. We shot there for a bit, and this lady came out of one of the doors that leads to the alley to tell is that this alley is famous or something, lol, I was like ok, but the lady kept telling us a story and we were like we gotta go!
We next headed over to the Cliff Walk for some more cool shots and then to the Easton Rotunda for the reception. We had some down time as the reception was not starting for about an hour and so we just kinda chilled and relaxed at this cool Newport complex until cocktail hour started and guest arrived. What makes this location cool, aside from the fact that its in Newport and on the beach is that there is a carousel in the building! Pretty rad right! Anyway it ran for cocktail hour and ended when guest were told to be seated.
Once the actual reception started the band Blockhead put on a great show. They rocked the evening with 80's and 90's rock that had everyone jumping up and down and partying.
Allison and Todd were so happy all day and they were super relaxed, as were their wedding party. Their friends flew in from around the US to be a part of their wedding and you could see how much they all meant to each other. There was tons of love!
























Love the pictures and LOVE the cake....great job Joey!!
