“Let the whole world be as I am. Let winter rule always.” ~ Snow Queen

I’ve always been obsessed with fairytales.  Books, movies, figurines, dresses…I could never get enough.  Even as an adult, I still love them.  Last year, after my Modern Day Snow White themed session (seen here: https://www.teresasweetphotography.com/blog/?p=2376), I was determined to do 2-3 “Once Upon A Time” themed sessions.  I immediately made a list and wrote down a few names of who I would love to part-take in them.

Vanessa, a 2010 bride of mine, IMMEDIATELY came to mind when I wrote down the Snow Queen session.  I asked her last year that as soon as our schedules and weather cooperated, we’d put it together.   FINALLY, that day arrived and I could not have asked for anything else.  We had such an amazing time!  A few words before I show some images, there are a few people I’d like to thank that helped make this session come to life:

The AMAZING Kristin Greene was the makeup artist:  http://kristingreene.net/

Ali Lomazzo (part of Kristin’s team) created the hair style

Couture Bridal provided the GORGEOUS gown: www.couture-bridal.com

FaerySpell Creations made the crown: http://www.faeryspellcreations.etsy.com

Thank you to all the fantastic artists, I could not have done it without you!  I have so many other images I wanted to share but these are the first that jumped out at me. 😉  Enjoy!

Michael & Sarah (aka The Sheriff & The Dove)  had their wedding at one of my all time favorite places….Mount Hope Farm in Bristol RI.  Words simply cannot express how amazing and loving this couple is as well as their entire family and friends.  Every detail was perfectly planned and the amount of TALENT in his family was mind-blowing!  Not only did Sarah & Michael write & sing a song to their wedding guests, their families sang too in the ceremony.  The father of bride even wrote his own song to Sarah for their father/daughter dance.  I honestly and truly was amazed!

Sarah & Michael, thank you for allowing me to take part in your wedding day.  I LOVE that you’ve recorded your own original song for each other and I’m so excited to have used it in this video for you.

~ Also, a quick note to say thank you to Sharon Reiley of Reiley Photography for assisting me. 🙂

Enjoy your sneak peek!  I posted one  in HD and one for SmartPhones for convenience.  I’ll be in touch very soon with the rest of your wedding photos!

I am a little behind on my blogging and I’ll be playing catch up the next few days, so please bear with me. 😉  I was sooooo excited when Michael contacted me to surprise his wife with a family session.  I couldn’t wait to meet the rest of the family.  Their daughter & son were a riot to photograph!

Michael & Jenn, thank you for welcoming me into your beautiful home and allowing me to capture your beautiful family.  I cannot wait for you to see the rest of the family photos.  We got some great ones!  Oh and by the way, I am so in love with your sweet dogs.  😉

Hope you enjoy your quick sneak peek!  Here are a few of my faves, but I have to be honest, I did save a few of my top choices for the gallery. 😉

Over the weekend, I met up with one of my favorite clients.  I’ve photographed both of these gorgeous ladies a number of times so when I get to see them for another session, it’s like photographing good friends.  😉  I had such fun with them and their 6 month old furbabies.  They had SO much energy!  Almost makes me want another puppy. Almost.  HAHA

Jillian, Scott, Jill & Mike…thank you VERY much for all your patience, helping with the bribery of the treats and for meeting up with me.  As always, it was a pleasure photographing you all!  Enjoy your sneak peek! 🙂

Just a quick collage of our boys in their Halloween Costumes.  Justin got such a kick out of his “hairy chest” shirt for his werewolf costume, Zachary LOVED how the brains showed for his Headless Horseman costume (typical boy, haha) and Tyler was Wicket the Ewok, from Star Wars.

Here are my loves.
