Congratulations to Miriam at Limoncellostyle

A Note from her Blog!
Hey there readers...just wanted to give a quick update to let you know that our son, Garrison Reid, was born into this world naturally on July 8, 2009 at 4:50am weighing 10lbs 5oz and measuring 21.5 inches.
We have been home a bit over two weeks and it has been an amazing time of bonding and getting to know the little guy.
And just to keep this post wedding related...for those of you who remember, my husband and I were married on 09-08-07 and as you can see, Garrison showed up on 07-08-09...needless to say we are tickled over the coincidence...of course that means there is a bit more pressure on child #2 :)

We at the gallery are so over joyed!

Ten good reasons to have a Small Wedding In Newport RI

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

An invitation to meet Photographer Kristin Griffin

Ten years ago, she embarked on a career as a professional photographer and educator. Attending the University of Notre Dame for undergraduate work in studio art and Rochester Institute of Technology for an MFA in imaging arts/photography . This gave her the skills to successfully capture unique images in a variety of lighting situations. Thoroughly versed in both film and digital techniques, she went on to teach black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels in the Boston area. It would be her honor and pleasure to witness and record your special day. With an eye for detail, she looks for both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make your wedding unique.

Is your Wedding looking like every one elses?


"Come on ...All of us are using that Photographer, Florist, Band and Videographer!"

Do you give in and go with them or find a vendor that really speaks to you?

As your planning your wedding you'll be faced with decisions that will last you a lifetime. Choosing a vender in your price range can be hard enough, but when friends and other venders get involved pressuring you it can be even harder.

Many friends just want to recreate or change the wedding day they had.

While venders who try to influence you to use a “friend” some times have a monetary incentive to do so.

I have heard of a group of venders that call them self’s

“The Dream Team” But who's dream is it ? elses?

If you want your wedding to look like every one else’s... then that may be the right choice for you.

At The Newport Wedding Galey there are over 100 venders that showcase their work with no referal fees passed on to the managment.

An Angel By Her Side


Cathy Colbert designed this invitation for a bride who will be marring a "Angel”. Mr Angel that is!
To play up on that, she designed angel wings and added a beautiful poem about them.
The brides colors were brown and baby pink. So she used different metallic pink papers against a dark, luscious brown to really make the elements pop. Then she placed the formal invitation on a bed of sparkling white tissue paper and feathers,
Heavenly don't you think! www.1stimpressionsinvitations.com
