As a luxury wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege to capture moments that are nothing short of magical. One such enchanting story unfolded at the Blithewold Mansion, where Molly and Brendan chose to celebrate their love. Their journey from college sweethearts to a life together in Rhode Island is a testament to love’s enduring power, and their wedding day was a beautiful chapter in their ongoing tale.
The Backdrop of Their Love Story
Molly and Brendan’s story began in the halls of the University of Dayton, where a shared microbiology class sparked a connection that would grow into a profound bond. Their journey, filled with shared interests, long-distance challenges, and mutual support through medical training, led them to the scenic vistas of Rhode Island. Choosing Blithewold Mansion as their wedding venue was a nod to their love for natural beauty and historic charm, making it the perfect setting for their summer nuptials.

A Moment by the Fountain
One of the most poignant moments of the day was the couple’s first look by the mansion’s iconic fountain. The anticipation in the air was palpable as Brendan waited to see Molly. When he finally turned around, the joy and love in their eyes were unmistakable.

A Beautiful August Day
The weather on their wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
