Ilana and Patrick’s wedding day was the perfect blend of personal, thoughtful, and joy-filled moments. They were all set against the stunning coastal backdrop of Mount Hope Farm in Rhode Island. From bright, lush florals to the heartfelt touches sprinkled throughout the celebration, every detail felt like a true reflection of their love story.

Getting Ready
The day began with Ilana getting ready alongside both her mom and Patrick’s mom. A quiet and meaningful way to start the celebration. She wore her natural curls (which looked absolutely incredible) and shared the sweetest reveals with her bridesmaids and her dad. Patrick, meanwhile, got ready with his groomsmen, toasting to the day ahead in a custom suit with a personalized lining. With both of them getting ready on-site, the whole morning flowed seamlessly. This is a major perk of celebrating at Mount Hope Farm!








First Look and Couples Portraits
Because neither Ilana nor Patrick loves being the center of attention, a private first look was the perfect choice. They shared a quiet, emotional moment together before we moved right into portraits with their wedding party and families. The grounds of the venue gave us the most beautiful backdrops, and their joy together was so natural and easy to capture. You can just tell they love to laugh together and are so relaxed. Truly best friends.










Outdoor Ceremony at Mount Hope Farm
The ceremony took place beneath a stunning floral chuppah, with Ilana and Patrick surrounded by their closest family and friends. Their brothers each shared heartfelt readings, and both families gave loving toasts during the reception that followed. Before the ceremony, the couple shared an intimate ketubah signing. This is a private moment that added even more meaning to the day.




The Reception at Golden Hour
As the sun began to dip toward the horizon, guests gathered for a cocktail hour on the lawn. The soft glow of golden hour, ocean breeze, and relaxed chatter created the dreamiest vibe for guests to enjoy drinks, take in the view, and soak up the celebration at Mount Hope Farm.
The tented reception was the definition of romantic coastal charm: taper candles, string lights, and a garden-inspired color palette brought a fresh summer feel to the evening. At each place setting, guests found calligrapher-drawn cards with heartfelt marriage advice—gathered from loved ones in the months leading up to the big day. It was a deeply personal touch that sparked connection across tables and gave guests a meaningful keepsake.
And of course, the night wasn’t complete without Patrick and his brother jumping in with the band for an unforgettable performance that had the whole room cheering! From start to finish, this day was full of love, laughter, and the kind of details that truly matter.
Ilana and Patrick, thank you for inviting me into your story as a New England wedding photographer. It was an honor to capture the beginning of your next beautiful chapter at Mount Hope Farm.
