We'd love to add you to our little famlily
For more than 15 years we've been a staple in the Rhode Island wedding industry, documenting weddings with a shared esthetic yet different perspectives. Our intuitive approach along with award wining photography skills allow us to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. We bring a laid back energy to every wedding day because we believe the most precious moments are the ones that aren't planned. We give you the space to be you while capturing THE moments as well as the moments in between.

Our first destination wedding opened the door to so many more! Since then, we’ve photographed weddings in Virginia, Washington DC, New York City, the Hamptons, and throughout New England.

Although we had photographed weddings together before, we officially became M.Studios in 2011.

OVER THE YEARS
Our imagery and editing is rooted in a true to life approach. Colors that look the way they did, light that stays true to the day, and moments that aren’t overworked or overdirected. We don’t chase a look or overproduce our style. We focus on what’s actually happening, so when you come back to your images, it still feels like you.
your gallery will feel exactly like your day
There are two of us! Our business is a true partnership but the tandem shooting is where the magic happens. We shoot every single engagement session and wedding together. Over the last 15 years we've perfected our dual shooting style; we’re able to move through a wedding day with intention, capturing different angles and moments, all without disrupting the flow. It allows us to stay present, anticipate what’s coming, and make sure nothing meaningful is missed. We can quite literally be in two places at once!
two perspectives, one seamless experience OR It takes two to make a thing go right
We build a real connection with our couples, not by forcing it, but by showing up, paying attention, and understanding what matters most to you. We’ll guide you when it’s helpful, from shaping a timeline, to designing your album, but we never take over. Your wedding is a live event, not a production, and we’re there to document it as it unfolds while you stay fully in it. We'll step in when necessary and disappear into the shadows when needed, we've got you!
