Sarturday’s wedding had me traveling to the quaint seaside village of Narragansett, RI, for the multi-backyard wedding of Dianne and Barnaby.

Backyard 1 is where we began the day, at the home across the street from the main event.  After Dianne and her bridesmaids were quickly dressed and bejeweled, we headed into the backyard of the rented house, where an old school clothesline caught my eye.  Needless to say, I had to find a way to incorporate it into the photos! From the clothesline, to the neighbor’s garage, to the weatherbeaten clapboards on the neighbor’s house, we found some very unique backgrounds for Dianne’s bridal portraits.

Then it was across the street to the family’s beach house, where the guys were finishing up their preparations.  Once I had a few minutes with the fellas, I headed out to backyard #2 - the backyard of another neighbor - where the ocean facing chairs were set up for the ceremony.  Soon the guests began to file in, and the ceremony began, with live music from a violin and guitar accompanying the bridal party (and the bridal dog) down the grassy aisle.  The beautiful afternoon sun was accompanied by a light, warm sea breeze as Dianne and Barnaby professed their never ending love.

For their portrait session we headed over to backyard #1 again, and again the clothesline came into play.  Then backyard #2 for some ocean side portraits, then we saw some cool stuff in someone else’s backyard and headed their as well!  Our backyard hopping journey finally brought us to backyard #3, where the oceanfront tent was set up for the reception.  And it was in backyard 3 as the sun set over the ocean, where we celebrated the bride and groom, dancing and singing along with the songs played by the DJs, and eating the Delicious gourmet backyard BBQ fare that included a vegan wrap that delighted the taste buds of this die hard carnivore!
