It was a beautiful sunny August day ….. and all I kept telling myself was it’s not going to rain …. it’s not…..

See I thought I have been cursed … EVERYTIME I have gone to St Clement’s Castle it RAINS!!!!!

And with this rainy summer I was terrified … no scared terrified … but the CURSE has been LIFTED!!!!!

With no rain and now a couple of weddings at St Clement’s Castle I feel my luck has changed…..

MARRIED: GINA and DAN

I have know Gina since about well I was around 15 … we were teammates on our local rhythmic gymnastics team. Over the years we would see each other, facebook or somehow get in touch ….. and the day I got her phone call about the wedding I was floored ….. honored …… and touched. See to me it is always such an honor for someone you know to hire you for their wedding day …. so Gina and Dan ….. Thank You! Okay without anymore Gina and Dan’s day!

The flowers were amazing ….. and gorgeous from Wild Orchid in Middletown so bright and vibrant!

It’s that time of year to start thinking of your holiday cards and photos!

Yup I cannot believe it either!

Every August I get a visit from the Hussey Kids …. when they come from Wisconsin to visit their grandmother!

This year I thought since they do not have ocean beaches it would be a treat for them to be photographed on one!

The kids are getting so big …. and it is such a treat for me to be able to see each one develop their own personalities!

Eric Foley: Very cutesy bootsy LOL

It POURED! and when I mean it POURED it POURED!

She sat in a room getting her hair done staring out the picture window……. a big sigh …. and a look to her mom that said … where is the sun … or just no rain.

Location: Blithewold Mansion in Bristol RI

An amazing setting … an old mansion set on acres of land along the water …. endless gardens and only to see rain ……

but wait the sky looks to be clearing and maybe we will get out outdoor ceremony she says….
