Kelly and Patrick tied the knot on September 3, 2011 at a beautiful cathedral, and celebrated at The Providence Biltmore.  I had such a fun time at their engagement session, and they have become friends of mine!  Patrick has a love of Photoshop and will call me occasionally for tips. 🙂

John from Wedding Stories handled videography, and did a beautiful same-day edit for them.  The Spiderman cake (yes, Spiderman!) was courtesy of Scrumptions.  Patrick is a huge Spiderman fan, and Kelly just embraces it, which is so sweet.  So – they had a Spiderman cake, a Spiderman cocktail and the groom wore Spiderman cufflinks!   I love when a wedding incorporates a couple’s unique interests!

Kelly was absolutely breathtaking on their big day.  Every bride is gorgeous on her wedding day, but Kelly absolutely took my breath away.  I met up with her at the Biltmore while she got ready, and my assistant met Pat at the house.  At one point, I was able to pull Pat aside to take some shots and he was so sweet – he said, “I get my Sara time!”  We were sure to get some really cool city shots that day, because Patrick loves architecture.

The reception was so much fun, with a choreographed dance by the bride and groom, and the Photo Booth, which is always a big hit!

The day after the wedding, I woke up to the most beautiful note on Facebook.  Kelly and Pat were so thankful that I was able to capture their special day.  I can’t tell you how much it means to me when a couple expresses their appreciation.  These two are so sweet, open and willing to let me be creative.  They trusted me –  and as a result, their photos were stunning.
