Mason’s Island Yacht Club Wedding | Maura + Travis

June 2, 2018.

Mason’s Island Yacht Club Wedding {06.02.18} with Flora/Lighting by  A Gala Affair  and Stationary/Signage from  CMB Creative Group . The Venue: Masons Island Yacht Club  cake by Colleen Gebhard, hair by  Kathryn W. Salon  and makeup by  Kate Clancy . The bride wore: BHLDN . Ceremony Band: Wooly Mammoth and Reception Band: Sunday Gravy . Justice of the Peace Veronica La Vista.

If rain on your wedding day is good luck, Maura + Travis have bucket-fulls of the best luck ever coming their way!  Saturday morning on the drive over to a picturesque Mason’s Island home where Maura was getting ready, the rain started coming down.  And not too gently either-it was in that torrential New England downpour kinda way.  But when I arrived Maura was not phased by the weather whatsoever, instead was just enjoying the chill morning with her sister, mom. and adorable niece. As if she knew she had no reason to worry, the rain cleared right when Maura had her finishing touches of hair and makeup, and everything was on for the outdoor celebration!

Maura + Travis admittedly took a while to get to the alter (or should I say the beautiful wooden arch with an ombre macrame wall hanging straight out of my boho dreams).  After an 18 year friendship, dating for 10 of those years, they have been able to spend a lot of time together doing the things they love the most.  Beginning with their first date at Go Fish, which I just have to mention has an excellent track record for matchmaking the perfect couples *ahem hubby*, they grew to love traveling, adventuring, going to Phish shows, (they may have seen every one played in the past 18 years!) cooking and eating delicious meals together.  They love doing pretty much anything as long as they are together.  So while a proposal was probably a no-brainer,  it was also a long time coming.  When it did happen it was a perfectly romantic Valentine’s Day proposal.  After dinner at the Spicer Mansion , Travis had plans to ask Maura to be his wife at their home in front of the fireplace.  As luck would have it by the time they came home it was dangerously close to midnight.  Almost ready to head to bed when they got home, Maura turned around to see Travis kneeling on one knee.  After some “no’s” of disbelief,  she finally said Yes!  just in time.  Valentine’s Day was officially the day they began planning their ever after together and the Mason’s Island Yacht Club wedding of their dreams.

After over a year of planning, it was finally “the day”.  As I mentioned the rain cleared just in time for this Mason’s Island Yacht Club wedding and for Maura to take a walk down the aisle with her father.  With lights hanging in the trees, boats out in the mystic fog, and live music serenading them it was the perfect setting for these two.   A truly personal and lovely ceremony delivered to the couple and their loving family and friends. After I do’s, rings, and first kisses, the newlyweds were official!  We spent some time taking special family photos, celebrating all of the beautiful relationships Maura + Travis have created.   The dinner was a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, and a LOT of laughter and excitement.  You could hear the buzz of excitement all the way out on the docks that evening, and probably clear across the water.  One of the highlights of the night to me was when Travis took the microphone and thanked everyone for coming, but also made a special little toast of sorts to Maura to just tell her how much he loved her.  It was the sweetest!  After dinner was served, the awesome Sunday Gravy started playing and the crowd was up and dancing immediately and I KNOW Maura + Travis had a blast dancing the night away!

I would love to thank you guys so much for having me be a part of your wedding day.  I loved seeing your beautiful vision come to life, and seeing all the joy your friends and family had for you and your new life together.  I know you guys are going to be continuously having so much fun together, and I cannot wait to watch it all unfold!  Enjoy the photos of this beautiful Mason’s Island Yacht Club wedding below!

As a wedding photographer I often get asked about boudoir shoots. I love them!! But I wanted to do something more my style than the typical boudoir. I prefer bare feet to high heels, face paint to pearls, and the beach to the bedroom.  I wanted to start a movement where women felt they belonged to something special after doing a boudoir session with me. I wanted them to feel amazing, beautiful, carefree and free spirited. Loved, comfortable, confident and spoiled. And hot AF.

Marianna and Will's Classic Seaside Wedding at Mason's Island Yacht Club

[shareaholic app=”share_buttons” id=”4830626″]We’re suckers for a gorgeous seaside wedding, and that’s probably why we fell head over heels for Marianna and Will’s classic big day overlooking the Long Island Sound. Captured perfectly by Kevin Kelley Photography , the pair’s big day at Mason’s Island Yacht Club gives us tons of inspiration for seaside affairs. From the gorgeous chandelier lit dinner overlooking the water to the romantic vows with a beautiful breeze, we’re smitten with Marianna and Will’s wedding day.

The details of this wedding are what really grab us. We love the attention to detail when it came time for our bride and groom to get ready. Marianna’s gown looked radiant as it hung between her bridesmaids blush colored frocks. The stunning gown with beaded lace, sheer straps, and an a-line silhouette was perfect for this seaside affair, and we couldn’t wait to see it blow in the breeze. Meanwhile, CROP Boutique Hair Salon and Beauty by Mineko took Marianna’s beauty game to the next level. With her hair pulled away from her face and her natural beauty emphasized, she looked stunning. While the ladies usually get all the fashion cred at a wedding, we’ve got to give big ups to our groom. Will’s classic, tailored black suit looked super chic, and we can’t stop staring at that perfect oversized ivory bout he’s rocking. Basically, this couple paid insane attention to fashionable details, and we adore it.

Come ceremony time, we were eagerly anticipating seeing the set up, and it did not disappoint. The white linen draped chuppa looked like a dream as it blew in the sea breeze, and those florals! We can’t stop staring. That single statement piece on the chuppa packed a major punch and was the perfect blend of spectacular and simple. While the set-up was amazing, nothing could the bride and groom’s glow as they said, “I do.” Their romantic kiss and procession back up the aisle had us smiling like crazy.

Just when we thought we’d see all the beauty possible for one day, the reception came in and knocked our socks off. While that sounds totally cliche, it’s also totally true. K.L.W Design Co. outdid themselves with this one. From the gorgeous handing chandeliers and tea lights to the beautiful wooden tables filled with florals, candles, and golden accents, we were in love with this wedding reception. Not only was there great design, but the food also had our mouths watering. Gourmet Galley Catering had guests happy and full by the end of the night. After dinner, came the dancing, and Spin Enterprise made sure that every single guest made their way to the dance floor that night.

This wedding day was by far one of our favorites. With the sea views throughout the day, romantic lighting, killer food, and fun times, it’s sure to go down in the record books. Congratulations to Marianna and Will!

Mason’s Island Yacht Club Wedding | Mystic, CT | Ashley and Colin

This is our first trip to Mystic, CT and Mason’s Island Yacht Club for a wedding and we love it! The venue is right on the water and perfection for photos. Ashley and Colin wanted a low key ceremony overlooking the sound. The view of the water and boats passing by was awesome.

Ashley wore a bohemian inspired, crochet wedding dress from BHLDN and it fit her perfectly. It was also easy for her to move in so when we suggested to them jumping out on these rocks that stuck out in the water she didn’t mind! They were up for the adventure and didn’t hesitate. They snuggled close for these dreamy sunset images and they are some of our all time favorites.

We love how they incorporated tons of sea glass into their wedding day. They used it on tables for decor and we put their rings in piles of them. It was a unique and sweet little detail that we enjoyed capturing.

We hope you enjoy their Mason’s Island Yacht Club wedding as much as we did!

Ahh it was a gorgeous day! We were lucky enough to spend more than just a day in Mystic. We got to explore the quaint little town and indulged in the famous Mystic Pizza where the film Mystic Pizza was filmed. If you have ever heard of it, it’s the movie that put Julie Roberts on the map as an actress. We enjoyed a pie here and they even play the movie on repeat so you can watch it as you dine. We also ate our favorite Italian meal of all time at Anthony J’s . We’re still dream about this meal. haha!

See you soon Mystic!

Shepard & Misha’s Yacht Club Celebration: Mystic, Connecticut Wedding Photographer

Misha & Shepard were married late last summer at the Mason’s Island Yacht Club, just off mainland Mystic, Connecticut. Shepard and her family have been members for decades and she spent so many idyllic summers at the club that she knew it would be the perfect, lovely, low-key location for she and her fiance to celebrate their marriage. And since Shepard and Misha first met on a beach in Costa Rica (both were visiting a mutual friend at his vacation home in Rincon) the waterfront seemed like the perfect way to continue their beach theme. With a classic New England ocean backdrop, the couple exchanged their vows under the arcing branches of a graceful tree on the southern lawn. Sailboats floated by and others floated at their moorings as the sun slowly set and guests enjoyed a raw bar, cocktails and the gentle sunset of September. It was honestly one of the most beautiful evenings I can remember and exactly what the newlyweds deserved for their celebration.

The day was made even more special for me as ten years ago I photographed the wedding of Shepard’s sister, Sarah, and her husband just down the road at the Mystic Inn, as well as another couple in attendance, Calla & Matt, so the wedding was a sweet mini-reunion of sorts as well!

About Susan

My wedding and portrait photography business is located in the heart of South County, Rhode Island close to URI and the scenic, south coast beaches. I grew up here and feel so lucky to be able to work and create in such a beautiful location! My approach to photography is much like my approach to life: creative, relaxed, natural and fun. I would describe my style as a blend of candid & photojournalistic with traditional & artistic images. I love taking the time to create some beautiful, romantic portraits of my brides & grooms, but also the spontaneous moments throught the wedding day. 

I consider my website and blog a place where I can visually journal about the amazing people and places I get to photograph. Not only do I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be making a living taking photographs for people at important moments in their lives, but I also get to meet an amazing cross section of people I might not otherwise get to know. In the ten years I have been in business, I have had the chance to photograph couples riding high on the excitement of their recent engagement, on their wedding day, parents-to-be waiting to meet their new child, newborn babies, children marking milestone birthdays and families who want to remember a certain time in their lives by capturing it in a photographic portrait.   

In more recent years, I have had the opportunity to photograph the weddings of younger siblings and friends of previous wedding clients, and the maternity, newborn and family portraits of couples whose weddings I photographed in years past. It feels amazing to know my creative vision of these occasions is a part of their lives and their family history and I am grateful for each and every one of them. When I say I love what I do, it is from a genuine place. I can't imagine doing anything else and feeling as creativly satisfied and pleased to make my clients happy.  

I studied photography at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) for undergraduate school and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
