We had an amazing opportunity to finally go to Las Vegas for WPPI 2013, one of the biggest photography conferences there is!  We were able to take classes with the industries best and brightest from Jasmine Star to Susan Stripling, Lawrence Chan, and Zach and Jody.  To say we came back inspired is sort of an understatement.  Not only did we learn from the best photogs we also saw the newest and coolest products out there.  Canvas, albums, wall decals, photo booths, you name it we saw it!  Our heads are still spinning!  We also had a little time to unwind.  Wedding photographers are a group of people that go to a party every weekend, but never get to party.  Thankfully there are some very cool people out there in the industry that recognize that and put on the coolest event for us deprived photogs called Lazers and Blazers.  We donned designer dresses from Forever 21 and H&M (Ladies, you know those stores rule!) and had the best night ever!  What a trip…

Shout out to Instagram for making cell phone pics actually look fun!

Maty is a history buff so what better location for his and Lauren’s engagement session than the east side of Providence.  Because you know it’s all historic and stuff.  We really had a blast with these guys!  They are just the nicest couple ever.  When we had our initial meeting it was probably the longest one to date.  We did not stop chatting!   Lauren and Maty brought their beautiful dog, SoCo.  He is an Australian Shepard.  Such a cutie pie!  Poor Soco couldn’t be in all of the photos so we were not just photographers on this shoot.  We were also dog walkers (photos will be on facebook soon enough).  Lauren’s outfit really made for a great pop of color in these photos.  Good job with that Lauren!  Can’t wait to see you guys again in September!

There are few things in life more precious than watching your child’s friendships blossom. When a friendship forms with your own friend’s child it’s even more special. Melissa’s Zoe and Marisa’s David were born a week apart. While we always hoped they would become friends we decided not to force it but to let it happen naturally. Fast forward to six years later and these two are best buds. Sleepovers started at Marisa’s house (Zoe is smart…there are three handsome Bettencourt boys over there) and consist of imaginary stuffed animal games, playing “defenders of the universe”, eating, video games, snacking, jumping on beds and more eating. We can’t help but wonder if this could be the beginning of something more! Good thing we know some great wedding photographers!
