I had the privilege of being part of a beautiful wedding recently at the Officer's Club in Newport RI, what a fabulous venue! Apparently you have to have a Navy connection to get in there, but it is spectacular! I'll have some more images up shortly, but just had to post this one, love the way Jay is shaking hands with Dad but only has eyes for his gorgeous bride. :)
Yes, it a teaser! I can't tell you how excited I am about all the weddings that are coming up this year, the first will be in Newport in a couple of weeks and I just can't wait! We have also (finally!) decided to venture out more and are looking for some real life models. So I'm looking for some women (all ages) that are wanting to bring sexy back a bit. Hint, hint! Send me an email direct at valeen@thesweetestdays.com and I'll get right back to you!
Meet Raya. My daughter recently adopted her, she is almost a year old and is a fabulous black Labrador, we are all in love with her!
We took her down to Weekapaug last week, her first time at the beach ever and she loved it! She even ran right into the water...and right back out again as quick as she could, it was cold!!! So we have officially expanded into taking photographs of all our beloved 4 legged friends and family members now. :) Shoot us an email if you're interested, we can come to your home or go on location!
I think this one is my favorite. :)

I have just been informed that I'm in trouble, I have not updated my blog in way too long, again! As I hang my head in shame, I'm thinking of all the things I want to write.... so let's just jump right in!
First, Happy Spring! Happy Vernal Equinox!! Either way, it's here and I for one am so glad winter is over! It seemed like it lasted forever this year, but then again, I think I say that every year. lol So even though today is rainy and yucky, the past few days were awesome and there will be more to come, I can't wait. :)
Twenty-ten! Wow! Can you believe it??
We hope your holidays were wonderful, awesome, and fabulous! And yes, we have been away from blogging for a while but plan to get back on track starting now. :) It really was a crazy couple of months with so much going on and lots of great weddings to finish, it was an incredible year! Thank you all so much!
We have met with some wonderful couples for this year and even for 2011 already, the calendar is filling up quickly, so if you've been waiting till the holidays were over to get going on your planning, it's officially time to book your venues, florists, DJ's, bands, and photographers (us, of course!). Seriously, many popular dates are already booked, so please call and set up a consultation as soon as you can. :)
Here's hoping all your dreams come true this year!
We just posted a new slide show to the website, so make sure you check it out! We had such a good time with them, they are such a wonderful couple and I just loved the family, too! Kasey went to school with Emily brother, so she knew lots of people there and they even invited Jeremy to come down and join the party! I know I say it all the time, but it's true, we just have THE BEST couples ever!!
Here's a pic of the car that they had that day. Some cars are just more awesome than others and this is one of them. Believe it or not, years and years ago, it was used to plow the streets of Manchester!! The owner said it was a love/hate relationship with years and years of restoration, but I think it's magnificent!
I am running a little behind due to the flu that left me sick for a week. Agh!! Bad timing and I know now (per the doctor's visit today) that I will never get another flu shot either. Okay... back to work! So much to do and lots to post! :)
Well, besides working on editing some gorgeous weddings and designing some albums, I got a chance to put our new logo on the website and the blog, changed a few things on the home page, too. :) Sarah & Chris's slide show is up and Jen & Marty's is almost done, too! Yep, been busy!! :) Now we're going to head out to NYC tomorrow to find out what's new and cool at the Photoplus Expo! Should be fun!
Believe it or not, we had no idea about this holiday when we named our company 6 years ago. But pretty cool, huh? :)
The Sweetest day is Saturday, October 17 and is not really just another made for retail holiday but it seems to have evolved into that. It's not exactly Valentine's Day, it was started when a Cleveland candy store owner brought little "sweet" treats to orphans.
In other words, the sweetness was in helping others. It was always on the third Saturday of each October, leading people to call it "The Sweetest Day of the Year". Now it is all about sweethearts in 2009 and we will try and help in case you need a plan.
First, try and make it a traditional sweet day, times are tough so make a donation of time, food or any kind of help to one of your local charities. Even a little bit helps. ~ By Ginger Marks for the National Ledger
