An Intimate Summer Elopement in East Greenwich, Rhode Island

There’s something so special about intimate weddings, and Kristy and Alexa’s East Greenwich celebration was the perfect example of how meaningful, personal, and beautiful a smaller wedding day can be.

Set at a family member’s home, their elopement felt like a true gathering of love. It was one of those perfect summer days in Rhode Island—warm and bright without being hot, with a soft breeze.

The ceremony took place in the backyard, surrounded by their closest family and friends. There was something magical about the setting—simple yet so full of heart. The yard became their aisle, altar, and backdrop as they promised forever to one another.

Afterward, the celebration continued under a tent just steps away. With colorful flowers filling the space with vibrancy and life, the reception felt like a cozy garden party filled with joy. Every detail reflected Kristy and Alexa’s personalities—bright, warm, and full of love.

What stood out most was the connection between the two of them. From the way they looked at each other during the ceremony to the laughter they shared throughout the evening, it was so clear how deeply they love one another. Documenting moments like that—the quiet glances, the hugs from family, the way everyone gathered close—reminds me why I love photographing intimate weddings so much.

Kristy and Alexa’s East Greenwich elopement was a day full of love, laughter, and beauty. It wasn’t about a big production, but about celebrating with the people who matter most, and that made it truly unforgettable.
