Epic Rehearsal Dinner @ The Elms

I went to RI last weekend to photograph a beauuuuuutiful rehearsal dinner at The Elms, one of Newport's most incredible historic mansions.

Everyone asks why I didn't photograph the actual wedding. Well the reason is because I am friends with Abby, who is the sister of the groom. And the groom's side organizes the rehearsal. The bride and her family organized the wedding and didn't know about me.

The rehearsal was probably way prettier than the actual wedding anyway. I'm sure the pictures were. Oops! Sorry about it!


This house is EPIC.



The ballroom was faaaancy.




This is the main entrance.



Guests arrived in awe.



So pretty. The whole house was open for exploration. (I've toured it before.)




The welcome reception was held out on the terrace overlooking the back "yard" and ocean...




Abby was like, "What's the big deal? It's just grass."


LOVES a mansion party!





For dinner I had the short rib. MMMMMMMMM.


All the rooms of the house were so pretty.



Love those chandeliers!


Abby's dad gave a lovely speech.




And there was a slideshow.




And more speeches.





It was basically a wedding. Without all that silly ceremony stuff and a big white dress. And stress.

Better than a wedding.


And cupcakes!




Yeah...your wedding rehearsal probably was not/will not be like this...




The End.
