Jessica and Phil at Belle Mer 3.28.09 Photos by Mariah and Melissa

What a beautiful day we had on Saturday... warm and sunny, a welcome change! I was so excited that Jessica and Phil had such a gorgeous afternoon for their wedding at Belle Mer. They are two of the sweetest people, so if anyone deserves it, it's them!
We started at the Hyatt with some getting ready pics... here is Jessica's dress.


Love the flowers in Jessica's hair, so pretty. Jason at Jacqueline Phillips Salon in Wayland Square Providence did the hair...

Jane Sincere was on hand for makeup. She did a terrific job with soft natural makeup for Jessica and her friend Melissa.



Love this shot of Jessica getting dressed...



Meanwhile, Melissa is photographing Phil putting on the finishing touches one floor down...


So handsome!



Because Jessica is so clever, she understands that nice light and enough time for photos is essential to great shots! She and Phil chose to see each other before the ceremony so we could take advantage of the daylight. We set them up for a big moment when Phil sees Jessica for the first time... Love it!





So sweet.




and romantical...




Outside for family photos in March? Why, yes!


Jessica was cold, but she was a trooper and I think it was worth it!



Besides, Phil is doing an excellent job with the snuggling.



See?



Broadway Florist did the bouquets and also the ceremony & reception flowers- wait to you see the cherry blossom table arrangements in Part 2, the next blog post.



These are Jessica's nieces, so sweet.



I love this shot of Jessica looking (to steal a phrase from my friend John Ortin) Glamm-a!



The girls upstairs relaxing before the ceremony while guests arrive.



Beautiful portrait of Jessica- she looks so relaxed!



Jessica's mom and dad, they are so nice- and love their daughter so much!



The Big Moment... # 2.



The fireplace at Belle Mer made a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. Reverend Mary Powers officiated, she was terrific - and even stepped out of the photo for the kissing shot. Thank you Mary!



Time for the Party!



Stay tuned for part 2 of Jessica and Phil... the reception!
