Lauren and Maty. These two names sound so good together. This couple embodies why what we do is so much more than a job. Our first meeting together lasted over and hour and a half and that’s where our love story begins. Our engagement session was awesome. It was then that we noticed that Lauren has a striking resemblance to Jennifer Garner and also where we met their sweet dog, Soco. The wedding day was a whirlwind of laughter, partying, and celebration. Regatta Place hosted beautiful summer evening ceremony followed by a tented reception featuring classic hits performed by Nasty Habits. This was also where we saw perhaps the most memorable wedding cake of the year, a donut cake by Allie’s Donuts in the shape of Lauren and Maty & Soco! Surrounded by six dozen of Allie’s famous donuts, this was the perfect dessert table for a Rhode Island based wedding. By this point we were completed committed to Lauren and Maty. Just when we thought we were totally smitten our love deepened. We learned during the best man’s toast that Maty was a bone marrow donor, not for someone he knows, because he is a caring and selfless person. The party flowed onto the docks throughout the night with the lights of Newport twinkling on the ocean. The joy these two share is infectious and we wish them all of the happiness in the world. XOXO

How many different ways can we describe the beauty of fall in New England? The crisp air, leaves crunching underfoot, the way the light falls on the yellow leaves. Add to that a couple in love and you’ve got yourself a Norman Rockwell painting. Or in this case, an M.Studios engagement session! We met Erin and Ryan on Providence’s east side along with their dog named Boy. We walked along South Main St. and chatted about their upcoming wedding at the Providence Public Library. We were even invited to shoot in someone’s pretty yard, hey, we’re not shy. Sometimes a little “trespassing” is necessary to get the perfect shot! We can’t wait to run around the library with these two. It’s going to be amazing!

Our first visit to the Squantum Association was amazing! Who knew there was such a hidden gem in the heart of East Providence, RI? Andrea and Rich certainly knew how to pick a venue with so much to offer their guests. The ceremony on the lawn was overlooking the bay and after the ceremony the bride and groom set off a canon! The M’s are always up for a new and interesting photo opportunity so we were excited to capture this epic moment. It is, however, impossible to plug your ears while taking pictures so needless to say we temporarily lost some hearing…but it was with it! Throughout the day guests couldn’t stop commenting that Andrea looked like a model, she was stunning and Rich was the happiest guy around. Family and friends gathered on the deck during cocktail hour to mingle and enjoy the gorgeous sunset and then moved inside for a lovely dinner and dancing. What a happy day!
