When Crista was a little girl she had a photograph that a family member took of the carousel in Hull hanging on her wall. Now she can hang up one of her wedding photos taken on that very same carousel next to it! We had a great time on the strip in Hull. The 16 year old employees at the arcade looked a little nervous when we took over the place for 15 minutes or so. Thankfully they didn’t throw us out! You’ll notice some pics on the bottom of this post of a young man down on one knee. That would be Crista’s brother. Crista was so excited that her brother was going to propose at the wedding. Patrick was definitely doing some pacing before he popped the question. She said yes!  It was a very nice to way to end the night!

This has been a highly anticipated wedding here at M.Studios.  Not only are Crista and Ryan two of the nicest people you could ever meet, but they wanted to do their formals at a carousel and an arcade!  Right up our alley (but you’ll have to wait for those photos in part two.  Sorry to get you all excited).  I remember when we met these guys for the first time Ryan said he was looking forward to seeing Crista walk down the aisle.  The first thing he asked us when we got to the church was “How does she look?”  Marisa and I told him that she looked stunning.  Ryan wasn’t surprised.  They are so in love and anyone who spends more than a minute with them knows it.  It was such a pleasure to be a part of their wedding.  They really made us feel like we were part of the family.  They are certainly a part of ours now.

Part two will be coming soon and will include some skee ball, a big “fascination” and a proposal! Don’t miss it!

There was an ongoing problem at the M this summer – The weather!  All and all it was actually a pretty nice summer, but for some reason every time we scheduled an engagement shoot the weather would call for rain.  We had to reschedule Crista and Ryan’s engagement shoot many, many times.  With the winter approaching and save the dates that needed a photo we felt as if we were running out of time.  Thankfully we finally did luck out with a beautiful fall afternoon in downtown Providence.  Crista and Ryan brought their boxer, Ryder, along for some photos.  He most likely won’t be able to join us at the wedding so this was the perfect chance to include him in some photos.  Can’t wait for the big day coming up in a matter of months!
