Kait and Brendan are our people, plain and simple. They hired us via email and we had never met so imagine our surprise when we were walking into the Avett Brothers concert at The Garden and we heard “It’s M.Studios!” We thought we were celebrities, honestly, like we’d be in Us Magazine the following week…Stars! They’re Just Like Us! They go to concerts! While it wasn’t TMZ it was our groom Brendan who recognized us from our social media outlets and wanted to say hi, which is way cooler anyway. We already knew we liked them but now it was straight up love. Another commonality was our combined love for Providence which is beautifully represented in our imagery from their wedding day. Melissa captured a tricky shot of Kait looking through her window at the Renaissance Hotel with the State House visible outside which is not an easy task given it was the middle of the day but she got it!

We spent the day at the Providence Public Library which is so romantic. The marble, woodwork, and the lighting create an atmosphere of love so when you insert a bride and groom magic naturally happens. Kait’s blusher was ah-mazing. Black and white, dramatic images of her holding her bouquet by the widow on the mezzanine transcend time. The color photos invoke a museum-like quality to us, they feel like paintings! We love delivering timeless imagery, no end and no beginning, just a moment in time…

From the books, to the florals, to the little Avett touches throughout, this was a very special day to share with an awesome couple who’s love story is just beginning.

You’re mine and that’s it, forever!

Kerri and Ryan created a romantic, vintage meets modern wedding at the Providence Public Library. We started the day at The Dean, a boutique hotel in downtown Providence whose vibe can best be described as Jack Kerouac meets Wes Anderson, it’s amazing. The elevator happened to be broken that day which turned out to be a blessing because we found a beautiful spot on the staircase for the first look. You just never know where the beauty is going to be found! We visited Ryan and got some great groom portraits in his room and then went over to the ladies where we were blown away by Kerri’s perfect victory rolls. Her lace dress had three quarter length sleeves and a vintage metal belt. Combined with her red lips she was an old school Hollywood starlet about to marry her dashing leading man. After the teary first look we took advantage of our location and walked around downtown and captured some iconic Providence imagery. The library was awash in mercury glass, pink and white florals designed by Golden Gate, and sweet little homages to the library setting. The whole day was a beautiful celebration of happiness and love!

Weddings at the Providence Public Library are simply beautiful! Each couple brings their own style and grace to this storied space. Katie and Jessica shared with us during their engagement session how they had recently moved to Rhode Island. They fell in love with our little state and had chosen the iconic Providence Public Library to celebrate their marriage. While Jess waited in the Special Collections room Katie put the finishing touches on in the bridal suite with her mother and father. Each of our brides were stunning in strapless gowns and carried unique bouquets designed by Golden Gate Studios. Katie and Jess exchanged heartfelt letters after their first look and posed for portraits in this unique room filled with history. Family and the wedding party joined us by the staircase for formal family photos before the ceremony in the Grand Hall where Katie and Jess shared beautiful vows surrounded by those who love them the most. Guests were ushered down the sweetheart staircase into the Garden room for cocktails, passed hors d’oeuvres, and our couple’s first dance. Awaiting them upstairsin the Ship Room was a fabulous dinner prepared by Russell Morin Catering and Events. This beautiful building has many unique spaces which provide a fantastic experience to all in attendance. After dinner, dancing commenced in the Grand Hall where country music and line dancing got the crowd on thier feet and kept them dancing all night. This celebration of Katie and Jess’ love was one for the books and we loved being a part of it!
