Just one week before the wedding we met Meaghan and Brendan in Charlestown, MA for their dreamy engagement shoot. Charlestown has become a favorite location for M.Studios as we have been there twice for engagement sessions within the last few months. We started both sessions at the Bunker Hill Monument but from there each session has become as individual as the couples we photograph. Meaghan and Brendan were mere days away from their wedding and their excitement and love were palpable. Meaghan has the sweetest smile and Brendan is clearly smitten by her. After a quick outfit change we walked down to the Navy Yard and found ourselves wrapped in the most magical blue light ever! Any onlookers would have heard the M’s squealing with delight after looking at the back of our cameras…now it’s your turn!(Oh and stay tuned for their glamorous wedding at The Dorrance! Coming soon…)

Summertime in Bristol, RI invokes images of 4th of July, sailing, outdoor dining and of course, weddings! Cara and Mark fell in love with Blithewold Mansion for their venue.  They had the most perfect summer day to have a vintage inspired wedding with their big italian families and friends! We love when our clients honor their family members in their styling, sometimes a necklace or earrings.  Cara chose her mother’s veil and it was stunning!  One of the bridesmaids even commented that she looked “so italian”! Guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn overlooking the ocean, croquet was played, and the amazing gardens were explored. After the first dance (Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes played skillfully by The Goodtime Stringband!) we took Cara and Mark to the gardens where we ventured out and beyond, all the way to the bamboo forest. So much love filled the tent that night, you could hear family speaking Italian, Mark’s father had the dance floor going all night long, and the food! Blackstone Catering did an amazing spread topped off by a stunning cake courtesy of Konditor Meister. We loved being a part of this beautiful day. Best. Job. Ever.

We love shooting at Roger Williams Park. There are so many spots to take beautiful photos and it’s right in our backyard.  Liz and Leo had thier first date there so what better place to pick?  When we saw the beautiful blue dress Liz picked out we knew the photos would be great.  Nothing like a little color pop to brighten up engagment photos!  These pictures were taken in the middle of summer.  Weather wise it will very different from the wedding that takes place at the end of fall.  We are so excited for the big day at the Towers in Narragansett!  It’s going to be a good one!!!
