Here’s to last minute planners! Jenn and Kevin only contacted us a couple of months ago to shoot their wedding coming up this October in Newport, RI. Surprisingly enough we were available for the day! It must have been meant to be. This couple lives in Boston and has made many memories there making it an obvious choice for the location of their big photo shoot!  We met them in the North End, one of our favorite spots for pictures in Beantown.  There were fun decorations draped over the streets in preparation for the upcoming Italian Festival that weekend.  Oh, how we wish we could have been there to eat some food!  Kevin came armed with a google map of different spots that meant a lot to them.  Yes, I said he had a map…  With photos!  This is one prepared groom!  Some spots that were highlighted were the restaurant where they had their first date and the street Kevin proposed to Jenn.  We had such a great time getting a tour of Jenn and Kevin’s Boston.  With the wedding coming up quick we know that Kevin is away right now on his Bachelor Weekend!!  He mentioned that the guys were going to make fun of him if the pictures were posted this weekend.  Well it looks like we made it just in time!!!  Take it easy on him, Fellas!

 Siobhan and Matt had a beautiful, sunny summer day to celebrate their love. From the Providence Biltmore, to St. Domenic’s Chapel at Providence College, to the Alpine Country Club no detail was left untouched. Siobhan’s perfectly styled up-do showed off her stunning looks while her diamond necklace and earrings added extra sparkle to her amazing smile. Needless to say, Matt was moved when he saw her walk down the isle. A sacred ceremony followed by a balloon release outside of the church kicked off the festivities. We went to Providence’s East Side for formal portraits with the bridal party, 16 people including the bride and groom! The architecture and mature plantings in this area provided gorgeous backdrops for this lovely group. Once inside the Alpine we were thrilled with the styling. Shades of white and pale pink gave a romantic feel to the evening. All of the guests fed off of Siobhan and Matt’s intense love and happiness and at any given time you could see people laughing, hugging, and dancing. In fact, the party was so much fun we stayed later than we had originally planned!

On a personal note, we would like to thank Maureen and Jim, Siobhan’s parents, for welcoming us as if we were family. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say. It’s no wonder Siobhan is as sweet as she is. Congratulations to this wonderful couple, we wish you a lifetime of love!

A rehearsal dinner is wonderful opportunity for two families to get to know each other in a not too hectic setting. It is also the perfect time for your photographers to get acquainted with the bridal party and immediate families so come the wedding day we will know who all the special people are! Sioban and Matt held their dinner on the beautiful terrace of the Providence Biltmore overlooking downtown. We were thrilled to be invited to this party because we already had such a nice rapport with Sioban and her parents. We also met Matt for the first time and were struck by his upstanding character. Matt is a basketball coach and gave a speech worthy of Phil Jackson. He invoked both laughter and tears and was a true inspiration.  Sioban was a picture perfect bride-to-be with a smile that lights up the room (well, terrace). We knew we would be in for a treat the next day at the Alpine Country Club, stay tuned!
