We met Laura and Ryan in downtown Newport on a beautiful spring evening. The sky was a little bit hazy so we didn’t have to fight with the glaring sun. Everything in sight was blooming: magnolia trees, forsythia bushes, daffodils, tulips, and dogwood trees. Our locations were both overlooking and right next to the ocean so we really couldn’t go wrong.  As we began our session it was very clear how much Laura and Ryan adore each other. Laura said she first fell in love with Ryan’s blue eyes and the rest just fell into place. Laura had us in stitches the entire time with her silly outbursts and comical expressions.  There was also lots of time for quiet cuddles and stolen kisses. Enjoy this lovely evening with a lovely couple!

We love getting to know our couples before the big day. Jen and John’s pretty rehearsal dinner at Ocean Cliff was the perfect setting to get acquainted. The gorgeous couple treated many out of town friends and family members to a classic lobster dinner under a tent overlooking the sea. The dinner was so lovely it would have made for a perfect wedding! If we didn’t already know how fab the wedding day would be we were locked in once we experienced the rehearsal dinner. Jen and John looked gorgeous, the florals were stunning, and under the guidance of Jaime Nelson of Eventfully Planned everything ran smoothly. Up next: The Wedding!

There’s something romantic about libraries. Maybe it’s all the whispering. Maybe it’s the volumes of love stories hidden within the stacks. (Maybe we just wanted a way to slip in how much we love Green Day’s song At the Library!) Erin and Ryan warmed their guests’ hearts and hands at their gorgeous winter wedding at the Providence Public Library. Freezing temperatures and snow didn’t stop us from a lovely photo stroll down Westminster Street. Pretty storefronts made great backdrops to pose in front of as we made our way from the Biltmore to the Providence Public Library. Guests were welcomed with card catalog place cards set amongst paper flowers made from book pages. DJ Sheldon set the atmosphere with his on point song choices and mixing while Russell Morin Fine Catering kept things rolling with passed hors d’oeuvres and a delicious sit down dinner. The entire night was warm, romantic, and full of love for this sweet couple! Congratulations Erin and Ryan!
