2011 Weddings & Portraits

brian rickey — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:46:30 +0000

This was quite a year. I didn’t realize just how many people I have meet and how many places I had been until I started going through everything for this post. This year I saw tears, ate a lot of tic tacs, had my first camera break at a wedding (I had two more ), told the parraot joke at least 50 times, drove across the country on a massive road trip to shoot a wedding, at so many yummy pieces of cake and cup cakes at receptions and had my customary Streak n Shake after I leave the receptions many many times, recharged my batteries more times that I can remember, dropped a 2,00o lens on its glass but luckly only the hood was damaged, changed my standard wedding tie to a skinny black tie, went through several cases of energy drinks on wedding day, set my 5 alarms to get me up on wedding morning faithfully, made a pledge I broke almost everytime to get all the equipment packed up early so I could get goo sleep before a wedding, got lost 20 miles from home but ironically found everthing at the Rhode Island wedding I shot with no issues, pulled out my s95 at a wedding and took some of my favorite pictures of the day with it, stayed up to the wee hours of the night after a wedding so excited looking at the pictures, and did I mention the tic tacs?

Paul & Danielle: Day After

The day after the wedding on Easton Beach in Newport, we went out to 3rd beach. It was tucked away on a backroad admist these tall whiffs of green grass on a bed of perfect white sand. This was a spectular setting.

And now, now its supposed to snow. Grrr. I refuse to accept it. If it snows I will think only of this warm photo taken from the beach. I will not look outside. (Denial is apart of the healing processs )

Newport RI

So now that my Christmas break is here I have two weeks off of work. Time to catch up on everything and finally blog. I am really behind on blogging, especially my summer road trip. These are some shots from my time in Newport. Many of them are from the trip I took out into the ocean on a beautiful sailing vessel. I sat in the front as far as they would let me go and just had a blast. It was so relaxing, and warm.

What happens, when it rains on brides maids?

…they get wet of course, unless they run really fast. Which these did.

Band Hat

This is my band hat, there are many like it, but this one is mine. It has been sitting on a shelf for 4 years since I bought it. I finally found a use for it.
