Wedding at The Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island | Allyson & Bryan
This was a biggie, we cannot even try to pretend that we were not looking forward to this wedding for months.
We immediately hit it off with Allyson & Bryan at our initial meeting, Allyson is a producer at MTV (where I was a production intern) and we happened to know some of the same people, it is such a small world! But, the real reason why we could not contain ourselves leading up to this wedding is because we were going to be photographing the first wedding at the newly renovated Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. After you absorb the stunning images below, hop back up here and click the link above to check this venue out. No shock, the Ocean House definitely exceeded our expectations, being there, you cannot help but feel like you are in another era, or one of Gatsby’s gala guests.
Despite shaky weather we were able to get some portrait time outside on the beach with the Ocean House’s great yellow umbrellas, the weather even held off so that Allyson & Bryan’s ceremony could be held outside as planned. The detailed restoration of this Victorian Era hotel is impeccable, and it was an absolute honor to photograph the first wedding there. Huge thanks to Nicole Taylor for being such a gem, traveling to Rhode Island, and 2nd shooting with us.


We were so lucky, even the vendors that we had the pleasure of working with on this wedding were some of our absolute CT favorites!

Getting ready.

Go get ‘em Nicole.



Paparazzi in full effect. Go girls!

The first look.



Bryan is a graphic designer, so he designed and printed the Ketubah, and all of the wedding stationary (programs, menus, place cards, etc.) with a seaside theme that was so stylish and very chic. It was perfect for the venue.

The ceremony. COME ON!!!


Could they be any cuter?

The reception.



Selfishly we wish that every wedding featured a Hora – it is just too fun…and of course Eric has to be right in on the action!


We wish you guys all of the best! We cannot thank you enough for allowing us to get to know your amazing families, and be a part of your very special day! xoxo
