Abby and Andy have a special place in their hearts for the Boston Public Library. We were beyond thrilled when they suggested we take their engagement photos there. It is such a gorgeous building and there are so many great spots for photos. This was the quietest engagement session we’ve ever done!  Since the library was open for business we had to keep our big mouths shut.  Not an easy task, but we were successful.  We communicated with Abby and Andy through lots of whispers and crazy hand gestures.  When were done at the library we walked over to the Commons.  The sun was about to disappear behind the buildings.  We literally chased that gorgeous light around the park.  The result was well worth it!

Weddings are usually about a couple, two people joining as one. Ryan and Rachel brought their family together when they got married on New Year’s Eve. Their two year old, Liam, and Rachel’s daughter, Ava, were there to walk their parents down the aisle. The setting for this intimate affair was the historical Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI. It was a beautiful spot and a photographer’s dream. Rachel said that her and Ryan were like the gears of a machine, two opposites filling in each other’s voids. There is strength in the differences and comfort where they overlap… (I did steal that from a song. I’m not that poetic). We had a blast taking photos with Ryan and Rachel. They are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. This truly was a great way for us to end the year.

When we talked to Ashlyn before the engagement session she warned us about Lane. That could mean one of two things – #1 Lane really is a pain or #2 Lane has quite a sense of humor and we are going to love him. Thankfully we were working with #2. The best grooms usually come with a warning from the bride. We met Ashlyn and Lane at Ochre Court on the Salve Regina campus in Newport. Since they are getting married at the Chandler in Newport this April this location went with the overall feel of the wedding. Ashlyn wore items from Anthropologie and Etsy – Two of our most favorite places to shop! With an amazing venue like the Chandler and Ashlyn’s good taste this wedding is going to be a good one! We also have to mention the ring! Lane did a fabulous job picking it out! Melissa even exclaimed a rather colorful word upon seeing it. She has deemed it one of her favorite engagement rings ever. Don’t look at it while you are at work! You might find yourself yelling out a four letter word!
