It’s always really sweet when we get to have children join in on an engagement session.  We loved seeing the interaction between Rachel and Joe and the girls. They really made our time at Roger Williams Park in Providence that much more fun. We met on a perfect evening and walked and talked and took lots of pictures. The girls even did an impromptu playground-hand-slapping-singing-dancing routine (pretty sure that’s what you call it) which made for some super fun images. We had such a nice evening with a very nice, new family!

We can’t think of a better wedding venue for two people who love the ocean than Theater By the Sea in Wakefield, RI. Lisa and Steve are a surfing couple who clean up real nice! Lisa was absolutely stunning in her Maggie Sottero gown and Steve was handsome and polished with a laid back vibe. In fact, the entire day had a laid back vibe. We started at the couple’s seaside home and moved on to a quaint chapel for the ceremony. Formal portraits were done a minute’s walk from Lisa’s family estate in Matunuk which also happened to be a minute’s walk in the other direction to Theater By the Sea. The bridal party dresses were some of the prettiest we’ve seen made even more gorgeous by the amazing bouquets from Weedweavers held in front of them. The weather was exceptionally warm for late spring at the seaside which allowed the sides of the tent to be open. Warm ocean breezes floated in as pretty light from the sunset highlighted the styling inside. Everything about this day was beachy and natural, just like Lisa and Steve.

Wedding Venue: Theatre By the Sea

We’re pretty sure that when JT sang about bringing sexy back he was talking about Allie and Mike! These two are all about romance. Our time together started out casually by the Old North Church. It was here that on the eve of the American Revolution Paul Revere took his famous Midnight Ride. He warned the Patriot cause that the British were coming across the Charles River by having two lanterns lit in the steeple; one if by land, two if by sea.

And so we found ourselves in the midst of so much history with city noises and some sightseers around but really there was only Allie and Mike. Eyes only for each other, private words and kisses only for each other. As we walked to different locations we were able to chat about how they met, what they did for work, and how Mike proposed. At one point Mike quietly said to Marisa “See how Allie is treating you? That’s how she is to everyone. To me, to her friends and family. She is honestly that nice”. They have such a sweetness about them that it was a pleasure to spend this gorgeous evening together.  After a quick change into formalwear we took a cab ride over to Rowes Wharf for magic hour. We planned it just right so we could do a little dancing on the docks and make it to the Boston Harbor Hotel’s multi-story arch for the most incredible blue light ever (#nofilter).

After we said our goodbyes the M’s headed over to Mike’s Pastry for some cannoli and conversation. We talked about what a perfect mix of sweet and sexy Allie and Mike are and we have a feeling we aren’t the only ones sharing this sentiment!
