Hotel Viking Wedding || Kristen and Mike
Yay! The first wedding of 2012! I was super excited to see Kristen and Mike after our their fun engagement session in Boston last summer... I knew it would be a great day, especially if their family and friends were as amazing as Kristen & Mike, and I wasn't wrong! A bit chilly on the waterfront in April, but that didn't stop us from heading to the Cliff Walk and Ocean Drive for some photos. Hotel Viking itself is also a beautiful, grand backdrop for an elegant wedding like Kristen & Mike's. And did I mention that Kristen designed all the printed materials for the wedding? So many pretty details, I love it!
Also, my friend/second shooter Heidi was along with me on this one - and she got married at Hotel Viking as well! So, happy memories all around. :)

The jewelry and rings details! The left bottom shot includes Kristen's flower design.
I love the moment when the veil goes on - it just makes everything more real.
Gorgeous flowers! I couldn't stop with these.
Beautiful!
Thanks to Heidi for getting the center image of Kristen and her dad walking down the aisle.
I love Kay Chapel! So pretty.
I just love the little chapel they have there at the Hotel Viking for the wedding ceremonies. It is beautiful inside and out! I couldn’t resist doing a few photos with these doors.
Then of course we got driven to the coast for some beautiful photos by the beach in Newport!
Since Kristen is a designer, there was no shortage of amazing details that she created for the wedding1 I think my favorite is the coffee blend they made for their guest favors.
Some emotional parent dances - always get me to tear up a bit!
Luke’s DJ Service had the guests hitting up the dance floor all night long! I love to get these fun dancing photos.
Thank you, Kristen and Mike, for inviting me to photograph your fabulous Newport wedding! I loved being a part of it, and getting to visit all around Newport, including this new-to-me wedding venue, the Hotel Viking. Truly an honor!
