Leah and Gueric are getting married in 30 days! Eeek! They’re both so excited, their energy is infectious! We met them for a Salve Regina Newport RI engagement session earlier this week. Leah is a Salve grad, in fact she’s celebrating her 10 year reunion the weekend of their wedding. Time flies when you’re having fun, meeting Gueric and falling in love.

With special permission, thanks to Leah’s alumni status, we started our shoot inside Salve’s Ochre Court. We love this spot, it’s rich and romantic.

Since they are under a bit of a time crunch, Leah and Gueric took this opportunity to practice their first dance a little, I think they are going to nail it! Like many of our clients, Leah and Gueric met online. It was a cold and rainy night… no seriously, it was. Leah thought she’d rather stay home on the couch than go out into the February drizzle. Little did she know she was about to meet the man of her dreams.They spend three hours chatting over dinner, closing the restaurant.The next date? One vanilla latte and four more hours of conversation. From a cold rainy February night to a romance in full bloom!

Trish and I saw this spot on the side of the road as we drove from Salve to Third beach. It reminded me of a Spring parfait, layer of green, layer of pink, layer of yellow. We pulled over and hopped out with Gueric and Leah following us. Leah was excited because she had read on the blog how we have a tendency to slam on the brakes when a great location presents itself!In life, if true love knocks on your door you’d better open it!Speaking of true love… this is Hudson. Gueric and Leah’s golden doodle…more golden than doodle. Yes, he frequently wears bow ties.We can’t wait … 30 days to go! See you back in Newport Leah and Gueric!
