Casey & Stephen | Romantic Lakeside Wedding | Slack’s Reservoir Johnston, RI

Weddings

For Casey and Stephen, a romantic lakeside wedding was inevitable. They met at the lake as kids, grew up riding jetskis together, and eventually falling in love. When they began to plan their dream wedding, Slack’s Reservoir was not their location BUT covid had other plans for them. Their celebration quickly became a backyard wedding and it was no surprise that the lake was going to be a prominent feature in their wedding day! Casey and Stephen had a truly beautiful wedding day and we were so honored to be a part of it! With their family and friends around them at their favorite place, they said “I do”. Their dog even joined them in the cutest little tux! We love just how much their wedding day was ALL about them and their special love story!! Fun fact, Casey made many of her details for her wedding!

Romantic Lakeside Wedding

We are ALL about planning a wedding day somewhere that’s meaningful to you. For Casey and Stephen, they chose a location that is a HUGE part of their love story! And it was a gorgeous choice! We love that they used the lake as the backdrop for their ceremony and celebrated on it too with the boat. Make your wedding day all about you and your story. You won’t regret it!

A Tip for Our Couples…

Always have a back up plan!! For Casey and Stephen, getting married on the lake was pretty much non-negotiable. But, they worked with us and their vendors to create a back up plan in case the weather turned sour. For them, that meant having a backup date (the next day)! Although it did rain on their wedding day, we all knew that if it got bad, there was a second plan. There’s such comfort in knowing that you’ve thought about the worst case scenario and planned accordingly. So whether it’s a backup date or just the idea of renting a tent in case you need it, plan ahead! Not sure what your back up plan should be? Talk to your vendors about building a contingency plan. We’ll help you figure it out!

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.
