Jessica and James envisioned a wedding day infused with vintage charm, drawing inspiration from the romance of a French Chateau affair. And their fall celebration at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, certainly lived up to those dreams! In September, we had the pleasure of capturing every moment of their timeless wedding.
Jessica was radiant in her vintage-inspired ensemble, with an elegant updo, an off-the-shoulder wedding gown, and delicate white gloves. James complemented her perfectly in his dashing tuxedo. Their day began with a heartfelt first look, followed by a picturesque ceremony on the lawn of Glen Manor. Accompanied by the enchanting melodies of a live string quartet, Jessica made her entrance, creating an atmosphere of pure elegance.
The festivities continued indoors, where guests gathered for a reception and dinner inside the manor. What sets Glen Manor House apart is its unique layout, allowing tables to be arranged throughout the house rather than in a traditional ballroom setup. This added a special touch to the evening, with guests enjoying the option to mingle both indoors and outdoors on the stone patios.
It was a celebration to remember, and we extend our warmest congratulations to Jessica and James! Thank you for inviting us to be part of your love story.

A Tip for Our Couples…
Deciding who will give speeches at your wedding can be daunting. While the maid of honor and best man typically give toasts, consider inviting other family members to speak or even opening up the floor for short speeches during the reception. Whether you stick with tradition or opt for something more unconventional, including those you love is the main goal.
