Emma and Daniel are married! Their November wedding day was chilly, but so beautiful. The new Mr. and Mrs. found beauty and inspiration from their hometown as they planned their classic wedding day. Emma and Daniel had a traditional church wedding at St. Francis of Assisi before a gorgeous reception at Shepard’s Run. With a color palette of gold, green, light pink, and black, the space at Shepard’s Run came to life! Despite the chilly weather, Emma and Daniel were troopers – going in and out of the venue for portraits before sunset. It was all worth it! We captured some truly beautiful moments throughout the evening that we hope they’ll cherish forever. Congratulations, Emma and Daniel! We are so happy we could be with you for your fall wedding day!
Shepard’s Run Weddings
Shepard’s Run is a historic manor house with 10 guest rooms, an active vineyard, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for events. This beautiful Rhode Island venue can host intimate wedding days and parties up to 300 people, which means no matter the size of your day, they’ve got you covered! Their outdoor space has a tent available and overlooks the Narrow River. If you want a historic space with gorgeous views, consider looking at Shepard’s Run!
A Tip for Our Couples…
Emma and her mom are big fans of our Wedding Secrets Unveiled! Podcast! Since they’re avid listeners, they both took the time to grab Sara’s favorite drink (Diet Coke!) and have it on hand at the house for her. It was such a sweet gesture from Emma and Daniel for us. Wedding days are long days for everyone, but especially for your vendors. Those little moments where couples think about us for a moment mean the world to us. It helps us feel seen and makes us want to work extra hard! If you want to hear more about other ways to help your vendors on your wedding day, tune into one of our recent podcast episodes here!
