Emily and Ted at Astors Beechwood Mansion in Newport, Part Two

Posted by Mariah:

I think I mentioned in my last post, one good thing about all the rain this year is the green-ness of everything! We are heading out to the back lawn for some photos with bride and groom and the bridal party...

Ted and Emily are anxious to hit the cocktail hour- but there's always time for a little smooching.

Fav of the day #2! What a fun group of friends E & T have! Emily mentioned that I hadn't laid on the ground yet for a photo... She felt she was getting less then full service by my 2 legged approach to the formals- well, here you go Emily... and it was worth that tasty little bug that I swallowed!

They were nice enough to stop right before running me over. Thanks guys!

We snuck around to the front of the house for a few snaps too.

That's it- the Hors D'oeuvers are calling!

See what I mean?

Blackstone did the catering and I can attest to the sheer yumminess of everything on that menu!

mmmm!

While I am busy testing the goodies, Melissa is working hard getting all of the details shots!

Ta- Da! Mr & Mrs! My view...

Melissa's view...Fun!

A well orchestrated first dance! Ted is a producer after all...

This is Ed, the best man. He is making his "Toast". (Complete with toaster oven.) The toast was complete about half way through his "toast" when the little bell on the toaster oven dinged. It was priceless.

Enjoying dinner...

Emily you are truly a rockstar!

I have no idea what is going on here... but I like it!

Ted and Emily are totally unpredictable. Have you ever heard of anyone inviting all of their friends on their honeymoon? No? Well, Ted and Emily did!

Melissa and her new friend Emily. Hey Melissa, how about a trip to Antigua?

This was a party that I was definitely sad to see end, but these guys lived it up to the last second!

Last Dance.

I love a big exit.

Emily and Ted gave all their guests little silver bells to ring for them as they ran out the front door.

Off to Antigua! See you there! (I wish!)

Stay tuned for Emily and Ted's photolounge!!!

Melissa and Mariah Save the Veil- Live Action Footage!

There is no end to the lengths the snap girls will go to for their clients... video courtesy of our friend Bob Manning at Bellevue Productions.

Katie and Steve at Belle Mer 5.09.09 Part 2

Our continuing adventures include a wardrobe malfunction! Ooops- don't worry though, Giggles and I snag the veil before it blows into the bay... Bob Manning got some great live action footage of the rescue which I will post next week!

Katie and the girls- everyone looks so great in the cobalt blue dresses.


The whole gang. They may look like a mild mannered bunch but just wait until they are announced into the reception.




The guys really wanted to wear their caps for a photo. Pretty cute- there was some confusion about caps vs. no caps, so we did both. I vote caps.



The bridesmaids thought ahead and got these umbrellas for Katie just in case... luckily we didn't need them, but it made for a fun prop anyway.

Katie is so lovely.

... but she's a menace on the courts- here she is giving Stuart from Belle Mer a run for his money. Stuart had the staff at Belle Mer sign this basket ball for Katie. I think in the last photo Stuart has the look of defeat written all over his face..

Beachy cake...

This is a fun group- the bridal party got very creative with their entrances- my personal fave is Alli surfing on Chewie's back.

Too bad this is going to be a boring reception...

Funny and sweet toasts from the older siblings.

Let the dancing begin! Erin, Katie and Chewie cutting a rug.

Nobody puts Katie in the corner!

Where do you think Katie gets these moves?! That's her mom in the middle.

Bye Keefe's! I am only sad that there isn't another Keefe daughter or son for me to photograph. Guess I'll have to wait about 25 years for Braydon to grow up! I'm patient.

Thank you so much for having Giggles and I at both Erin and Katie's weddings. We feel like honorary Keefe's!
