Weddings

Meet the newlyweds, Jacob and Deanna! Jacob and Deanna planned a fun, beachy inspired wedding day at Gurney’s Newport Resort in Newport, RI that we had the honor of photographing. Deanna and Jacob chose to get married at Gurney’s because they loved it (duh!) but also because her parents were married here, too. How sweet is that?! 

Their day was just SO romantic and we’re thrilled to be sharing it with you. It was a truly beautiful day in Newport, with a breeze going. Their ceremony was right on the lawn at Gurney’s with the boats floating behind them. So typical Newport, and we all loved it! The best part of the celebration was that their guests pretty much stayed on property so they really got the chance to celebrate all weekend. Could you ask for anything better?!

A Tip for Our Couples… 

While timelines and shot lists matter, sometimes it’s important to trust your gut and trust your photographer’s experience. Every once in awhile, Mother Nature provides us with a backdrop that we just can’t pass up. Whether it’s a stunning sunset or that gorgeous twilight blue sky we all love, as your photographers, we’re going to ask and encourage you to jump out with us to document that special moment! We get it… in the moment, you may not want to step away from the party, but when you look back on those images, you’ll be happy that you did!

Behind The Camera

Sara Zarrella

Owner & lead photo novelist

Nice to meet you! I’m a pint-sized (frequently caffeinated) fireball of energy, and building genuine connections is at the heart of everything I do. One of the most meaningful parts of what we do is watching our couples go from “I do” to starting families, then returning for newborn and family photography, and even branding sessions as their lives and businesses grow. Being part of every season of your story is truly the heart of what we do.
