M.Studios is a team of two photographers who are best friends, self proclaimed karaoke stars, fitness devotees who eat too much cheese and buy way too many dresses… but mostly we take beautiful pictures.
Fall Family Portraits at Goddard Park | Rhode Island Family Photographer
One of the best parts of being wedding photographers is staying connected with our couples long after the wedding day. That is why this family portrait session at Goddard Park in East Greenwich, RI was especially meaningful for us because it featured a former M.Studios wedding couple.
We photographed Jaimee and Bill’s engagement session and wedding back in 2018, and now here we are documenting this next chapter of their story with a fall family portrait session! It means so much to us because being able to photograph our couples as their lives grow and change is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
Why Fall is Perfect for Family Photos in Rhode Island
You really can’t beat fall in New England and Goddard Park is one of our favorite locations for family photos this time of year. It’s so beautiful there! The trees are showing off with incredible fall colors plus you have beautiful light filtering through the leaves. This is only some of the reasons the session felt so warm and magical.
From Wedding Day to Family Milestones
Sessions like this are a reminder that photography doesn’t stop at the wedding day. In fact, it evolves right alongside life. Many of our couples come back to us for maternity photos, newborn sessions, and family portraits. We get so excited when these emails come in! What a treat it is for us to continue telling these stories over the years.
At M.Studios, we love being part of these moments. There’s something incredibly special about photographing a couple on their wedding day and then later documenting their growing family.
Rhode Island Family Photography with M.Studios
While many people know us as wedding photographers, we want to get the word out that family photography has always been an important part of what we do! We offer family portrait sessions in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for both past wedding couples and new families.
As our couples’ lives grow and change, we love continuing to capture those milestones. Being trusted to photograph not just one moment—but many chapters—is something we never take for granted.
A Colorful Rosecliff Wedding in Newport, Rhode Island
As a Newport wedding photographer, we always get excited when we’re photographing a wedding at Rosecliff. I mean how could we not?!
At M.Studios, we photograph weddings throughout Newport and the surrounding coastal areas, but Rosecliff is always one of the most iconic venues to work in. The mansion’s grand architecture, sweeping ballroom, and ocean views obviously create a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography. Now throw in an amazing couple like Arianna and Devon and you have yourself a winner!
Arianna told us that when she was choosing their wedding colors she was imagining how everything would look in our photographs. That was such a compliment because as photographers that’s the kind of attention to detail that makes us even more excited to document a wedding day. Needless to say she absolutely nailed it.
The bold, vibrant florals designed by Plant Girl Florals popped beautifully against the elegant white architecture of Rosecliff. Also with the expert help of planning by Em Devaud, the entire day flowed seamlessly while still feeling incredibly personal to Arianna and Devon.
How Arianna and Devon Met
Arianna and Devon’s story is just as fun as their wedding day. The two met when Arianna tagged along with a friend to a jiu-jitsu class, spotted Devon, and immediately called dibs. Sometimes trusting your instincts works out pretty well.
Arianna proudly describes herself as a princess, while Devon is the calm, steady partner who clearly adores her. This made our job easy because their dynamic was playful, supportive, and completely natural.
Their dogs, Waffles and Maple, were also part of the celebration and kind of stole the spotlight whenever they appeared! Their cat Chicken stayed home for the day (we understand—Rosecliff weddings might not be every feline’s vibe), but we’re always ready if couples want to include the full pet crew in their wedding photos. We are still waiting for someone to bring their cat because we are fully cat ladies and proud of it!
A Joyful Wedding Day at Rosecliff Mansion
Spending the day photographing Arianna and Devon’s wedding at Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, RI was an absolute joy. From the emotional ceremony to the heartfelt and hilarious toasts later in the evening, it was clear that these two are deeply loved by their family and friends.
While their Rosecliff wedding perfectly elegant, it also had personality. The historic Newport mansion setting paired with colorful florals and joyful moments throughout the day created a celebration that felt timeless but also uniquely theirs.
Why Couples Love Getting Married at Rosecliff
Rosecliff is one of the most iconic Newport mansion wedding venues. It was built during the Gilded Age. The mansion is known for its stunning ballroom, dramatic staircase, and proximity to the ocean. You really can’t get more Newport than that!
For couples planning a Newport wedding, Rosecliff offers the perfect combination of historic elegance and coastal beauty. The architecture, gardens, and natural light throughout the property make it an incredible location for any wedding celebration.
