It was our absolute pleasure to be a part of Claudia and Adam’s sweet family soiree at Rose Farm Inn for their Block Island Wedding.
Block Island is one of our favorite places. It feels like it is a world away, yet it’s a part of little Rhode Island just under an hour from the ferry in Pt. Judith. If you’ve ever spent time on the Block, then you know what a special place it is. We certainly feel lucky every time we get to go there to photograph a wedding. In fact, we’ve been lucky three times with this family because we have been their Block Island wedding photographers for all three of their weddings!

Claudia got ready in a room at the Rose Farm Inn. Her adorable dress is by Jenny Yoo.
Mimosas while getting ready are a must!
Adam got ready at his parent’s beautiful Block Island home. The well dressed ring dog is sister Abby’s fur baby.
Adam met Claudia at the Rose Farm Inn for their first look. Trish picked out this quintessential Block Island view for the occasion.
If you’ve ever ridden at bike on the Block, then you know it’s a wee bit hilly. Luckily there are plenty of stone walls to lean your bike against while you take a nap in the grass.
Adam and Claudia don’t need a nap, they’re too busy being lovey-dovey and shaking off the pre-wedding nerves. The first look is always a good remedy for the nerves.
I don’t know what’s lovelier, the backdrop for a Block Island wedding, or these Block Island bridesmaids in soft grey!
Having a little fun with the Bridal Party.
We feel like we are part of this family because we’ve shared so many special moments with them!
The sun was nice enough to stay behind the clouds so the guests would not bake in their chairs. The other relaxing thing about Block Island is there is usually a gentle breeze.
Time to get married!
Sweet Relief and Pure Joy, a winning combination.
Adam and Claudia know how to spread the LOVE around.
They also know how to steal a few nice quiet moments for themselves.

Visiting the Blocks of Fudge store on Block Island is a staple, having it “to go” for your guests? Now that’s what we’re talking about! Block Island hospitality at it’s sweetest.
No twinkly stars on this cloudy night? No worries, we’ll add our own sparkle to the evening.
BEHIND THE SNAPS
Hurray! These are our peeps! From left to right, Meredith + Bill married 6.22.09 at The Sullivan House, Claudia + Adam married 9.10.16 at the Rose Farm Inn, and Abby + Josh married 06.10.12 at The Cushman House. One Block Island wedding every three – four years! They were all wonderful days, all different venues, and all in their {and our} beloved Block Island!
Adam’s parents have this cute print hanging in their home. There’s a little heart where each of the weddings took place and the dates at the bottom. Such a great idea!
Trish really would like to be the fourth sibling in this family. So… 2019 for Trish’s wedding Rena and Bill Sr?
Here’s the thing about the Rose Farm Inn, it’s got a REALLY big field. The number of blocks of fudge I at this day was of no consequence considering the number of times we had to traverse this field.
We are self sufficient on Block Island, we’ve been there so many times we know the drill… where to stay, how to get around… we’ve got it down to a science. This means we can be full service Block Island wedding photographers! Trish loves to chauffeur our couples around the island!
