We just cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and Tim’s beautiful wedding in Newport. They chose Newport because of it’s classic, preppy vibe and the fact that JFK and Jackie were married there, I mean, do you need any more of a reason than THAT?! We started the day with a first look at The Elms mansion on Bellevue Ave followed by the ceremony at Dunlap-Wheeler Park right next to the Atlantic Beach Club where the cocktail hour and reception were held. With the help from Ali Lomazzo’s Beauty team, Stephanie was such a stunning bride. Her lace overlay gown was accented by her mother’s earrings (something borrowed) that she wore when her parents got married. This was very sentimental to her since her parents’ marriage has always been such a testament of true love and partnership. Peeking out from underneath her gown were the most beautiful powder blue Chanel, cap-toe flats. To die for! Once inside the ABC guests were treated to gorgeous tablescapes created by Toni Chandler. The sunset made the room all aglow in a warm light which echoed the love and warmth of our sweet couple. After a lovely sit-down dinner guests were up and dancing in no time to music spun by Unique Sounds. The cake covered in sprinkles (we call them jimmies in RI) created by Awesome Cakes was such a hit, we imagine there are many Instagram pics of it floating around, including on our own M.Studios Instagram account! The entire day was romantic, laid back, loud, energetic, and fun-the perfect combination for a couple like Stephanie and Tim and we are so happy to have been a part of it!!

Anna and Mike are totally awesome. We instantly fell in love with them and you’ll see why! We drove up to Vermont for their engagement session at their recently purchased home around the corner from Mt. Snow. Their picturesque yard, complete with a big red barn, sweet pond, and happy dogs was the perfect location for us to shoot and get to know them. Their love and adoration for each other is palpable and we instantly knew their wedding at Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard was going to be amazing! Stay tuned for that one!

Cohasset, Massachusetts is a former fishing village tucked in along the rocky shores where greater Boston Harbor ends and Massachusetts Bay begins. Nestled among the shops on Main St. is the Red Lion Inn. This quickly became a favorite venue for us to shoot because of the beautiful landscaping, the incredible Lion’s Hall, attentive staff and close proximity to the beach. Stephanie and Tim had the most beautiful day and together with their sweet daughter they celebrated with family and friends into the night. Sean got the first look of his glowing bride in her strapless Maggie Sottero, lace gown on the mezzanine in the Lion’s Hall. The handsome couple shared some private moments before heading outside into the sunshine for portraits with their wedding party. As guests found their seats for the ceremony, Stephanie and Sean parted ways to prepare. Joined by their daughter, Stephanie and her father walked down the aisle arm in arm while she held a delicate paper flower bouquet.  The chandeliers and Edison lights had the room glowing, flower petals lined the isle, and guests were moved by the thoughtful, person vows. Cocktail hour on the mezzanine was followed by the newlyweds’ grand entrance down the staircase and their first dance. Instead of taking their seats, Sean had put together a surprise flash mob with the wedding party for Stephanie! It was a huge surprise for everyone! A lovely dinner was followed by dancing and lots of shenanigans in our photo booth. It was an absolutely beautiful day!
