I had never been to Block Island before, in fact I had no idea where Block Island even was (it&#8217;s in Rhode Island), but it just sounded like an offer I couldn&#8217;t refuse! So JC and I got a mini-vacation away from our kids and husbands and had a blast working, dining, and photographing like crazy. Block Island is only accessible by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.islandhighspeedferry.com\/default2.asp\" target= \"blank\">ferry<\/a> (and airplane) and it is incredibly laid-back and relaxed. I would go back in a heartbeat! If anyone is considering a unique location to get married, consider Block Island &#8211; and bring me with you to document your beautiful day (hint, hint).<\/p>\n<p>The wedding was held at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesullivanhouse.com\/main.shtml\" target=\"blank\">Sullivan House<\/a>, which is right on the Great Salt Pond. The views are amazing, and the location is magnificent:<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/blockislandwed_11.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Diane&#8217;s beautiful dress hanging in the doorway of one of the guest rooms in the Sullivan House<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/blockislandwed_2.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>My favorite picture of the day, Diane descending the staircase in the Sullivan House.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/blockislandwed_5.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>I love the look on this flowergirl&#8217;s face.
