Kristi and James never visited the snap lair... so I was excited to meet them in Newport. They are planning a beautiful wedding in Newport at Oceancliff next April.I asked Kristi how they came to find me and she said once the saw our blog that hiring snap was a "no brainer." Love these guys!

Our shoot was at noon, so we had to find a few shady spots for our photos.
This cute little dock will do quite nicely.

I had a good time showing Kristi and James around Newport because although their wedding is here they are from Chicago and they really haven't had a chance to do too much exploring.
We stopped off over by Salve where we found a little more shade and some dramatic architecture- good combo.

Love this one.
... also love Kristi's dress, apparently she had wardrobe panic and bought it at J Crew 20 minutes before I arrived. She looks great!

Next stop, the Cliffwalk. Always a favorite.
The sun was really bright so we are improvising a little!

Kristi and James had no idea this existed! I love being a tour guide!
K & J were very daring for me and didn't mind me perching them on a ledge.
It was sort of worth it, right?!
Love this one, it feels so summer-time!
Here' s a secret location. I thought it was very Newport.

Tip toes kissing is always cute. James was telling me he grew something like 14 inches in 4 years as a kid... ouch!

I think they are getting into it!

Cougar (I mean Kristi) is two years older than poor innocent little James. He thought Kristi was quite a babe... but unfortunately a babe with a boyfriend. Flash forward a year- James and Kristi are reunited after James spends a year in Paris trying to forget her... and lo and behold Kristi is back on the market.
Perfect timing, and the rest is history.
I like that story.
