Shelby and Tim are gorgeous, let’s get that out there right now. They compliment each other so well in looks, esthetic, personality, and sense of humor. The setting for their wedding day was absolutely magical. Glen Magna Farms gives the feel of a lovely garden party in the backyard of your very own private estate.  The wedding party had the run of the main house to finish getting ready which gave way for some beautiful photography. After a private first look Shelby and Tim read each other heartfelt vows that were for their ears only (we promise we didn’t listen). The ceremony took place under a pergola dripping with mature wisteria that was simply breathtaking. After the vows Tim was expecting to hear Happy by Pharrel as the recessional song but Shelby surprised him with Psychoticbumpschool by Bootsy Collins! He loved it! We then had some time to explore the expansive grounds with the entire wedding party for portraits and some newlywed photos. The tented reception was very intimate. The couple picked random small plates that represented some of their favorite foods including sliders with fries, Chinese take-out, a macaroni and cheese bar, and of course a French cheese station! Shelby loves any and all things French and there was a definite Parisian feel to the day. Shelby chose a gown that looked as if it was custom made for her and get this, it was the first one she tried on!  Oh and the shoes, not one, but two pair. Pink and blue respectively, Swoon! Her hair and makeup were flawless, perfectly highlighting her big baby blues and Tim looked like he stepped out of the pages of a magazine. This pretty day was a photographers dream come true and we couldn’t be happier to have been a part of it all. When planning the wedding Shelby and Tim already knew that they wouldn’t want the night to end. Some time after the M’s had left, the new Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer and a group of close friends went to Downtown Crossing in Boston where they had rented out part of jmCurley.  We hear Shelby devoured a burger but since there is no photographic evidence we’ll just have to call it wedding day gossip.

And so, to the newlyweds we say…

Félicitations. Nous vous souhaitons à tous les deux tout le bonheur du monde!

There’s something romantic about libraries. Maybe it’s all the whispering. Maybe it’s the volumes of love stories hidden within the stacks. (Maybe we just wanted a way to slip in how much we love Green Day’s song At the Library!) Erin and Ryan warmed their guests’ hearts and hands at their gorgeous winter wedding at the Providence Public Library. Freezing temperatures and snow didn’t stop us from a lovely photo stroll down Westminster Street. Pretty storefronts made great backdrops to pose in front of as we made our way from the Biltmore to the Providence Public Library. Guests were welcomed with card catalog place cards set amongst paper flowers made from book pages. DJ Sheldon set the atmosphere with his on point song choices and mixing while Russell Morin Fine Catering kept things rolling with passed hors d’oeuvres and a delicious sit down dinner. The entire night was warm, romantic, and full of love for this sweet couple! Congratulations Erin and Ryan!

Everyone deserves a second chance at love. Alison and Chris found theirs in each other. They had met many years ago but were at different places in their lives. Sometimes you meet someone and you just have that feeling, you feel that unexplainable connection but life’s circumstances prevent you from being together. So you tuck thoughts of them away in the back of your mind and you move forward. Then one day he calls you out of the blue, not for an apartment rental, as Alison thought, but because Chris had never stopped thinking of her. Then they fell in love. We were moved by this love story, goosebumps in the studio when we met them. They were both so laid back about their wedding and expressed that the things most important to them about their day were each other, family & friends, and photography to capture it all. We’re pretty sure Alison didn’t even have a dress three weeks prior to the wedding! On the big day Alison and Chris were each so nervous, it really was sweet to see this couple who are so in love feeling these nerves. We did a pretty first look in the Omni Hotel downtown, formals downtown with Alison’s dad as chauffeur and then onto Cafe Nuovo for the ceremony and a reception. The ceremony was officiated by Ryan McGowan who is their trainer at Laid-Back Fitness. They explained to us how instrumental Ryan had been in getting them healthy and fit together. When you’re healthy you’re happy and they expressed their gratitude and love by asking him to marry them. Alison and Chris were intent on mingling and conversing with their guests so they decided to forgo a traditional reception and instead threw an amazing cocktail party. Heavy passed hors d’oeuvres and a raw bar satisfied all of the guests cravings, amazing tunes by Outcry RI added to the ambiance, and a fabulous cake by Sin Desserts was the perfect sweet ending. We are so happy that these two found each other again. Say love.
