Diahann and Alexandre had a picture perfect day for their 41 North and  Belle Mer wedding.We started the day at 41 North and were thrilled to have beautiful yachts as our backdrop for the first look and family/ bridal party formals. There have been some unfortunate “bridal party” on the dock photos in the news recently. Rest assured, Trish and I made certain the dock was nice and safe for our willing bridal party. The next best thing to cruising around Newport habor on a yacht is standing in front of it for pics, it just doesn’t get more nautical Newport than this. Not that Alexandre noticed the background at all, he only had eyes for Diahann!

Every woman should marry a man that looks at them the way that Alexandre looks at Diahann. All day long I watched his face flicker between verge of happy tears, filled with pride, and adoration and appreciation for his beautiful bride. Diahann is a stunning beauty who has no idea how lovely she is. Of course, that only makes her more appealing! Maybe it’s the Alex’s accent, Portuguese is a romance language after all!  I definitely can see how it easy it would be to be swept off your high heels by Alexandre.

Arriving at Belle Mer we were greeted by a soft yet spectacular sky, perfect for a few more romantic photos. We’re so happy fate and mother nature shined on these two sweet & humble people for their 41 North and Belle Mer wedding! Congrats Diahann and Alexandre!
