Heather + Ryan – Belle Mer, Newport, RI Wedding Photos
November 17th, 2011Technology is an amazing thing that advances so rapidly, we never know what new breakthrough is right around the corner that will simplify all of our lives, or allow us to connect to one another in some new and exciting way. Technology allows us to digitally edit our photographs in the comfort of our own homes, and know if our exposures are spot on the moment we take an image in any kind of light. In the case of Heather & Ryan’s wedding at the Belle Mer, in Newport Rhode Island, technology allowed for Ryan’s mother to be a part of their day even if she was far away in a hospital bed, recovering from a car accident that happened days before. We all know and love Apple’s Ipad, and know that while it has so many amazing features that can be used in an infinite amount of ways, we didn’t think it could serve such an incredible purpose as to allow her to view, and participate in her son and daughter-in-law’s ceremony via Skype. So while the vows were being spoken aloud, she watched the whole thing live, and it was one of the coolest, most touching things we have had the opportunity of witnessing. And what an incredible day it was! Heather was absolutely radiant in her Maggie Sotero wedding gown, and her gorgeous flowers from Kim Lamothe (the flowers were grown from an organic garden). Ryan and his groomsmen looked super sharp in their light sand suits, and the colors of the day blended together in a perfect way that matched the colors of the setting sun during their portraits. We also want to give a shout out to the incredibly talented Heart Beat Dance Band (who we had the pleasure of working with two days in a row, what are the odds?), who fired up the whole reception, and left us humming all the way home.
