There was an ongoing problem at the M this summer – The weather!  All and all it was actually a pretty nice summer, but for some reason every time we scheduled an engagement shoot the weather would call for rain.  We had to reschedule Crista and Ryan’s engagement shoot many, many times.  With the winter approaching and save the dates that needed a photo we felt as if we were running out of time.  Thankfully we finally did luck out with a beautiful fall afternoon in downtown Providence.  Crista and Ryan brought their boxer, Ryder, along for some photos.  He most likely won’t be able to join us at the wedding so this was the perfect chance to include him in some photos.  Can’t wait for the big day coming up in a matter of months!

Introducing Abbie and Bryan! They had their wedding at the stunning Oceancliff Resort in Newport, RI, and let us tell you, it was a flower heaven. Picture this: painted orchids all the way from Holland, creating a floral masterpiece that would make anyone swoon! We first crossed paths with these two during their engagement session in the concrete jungle of NYC. Mother Nature was a bit mischievous, and we had to reschedule a couple of times due to some pesky rain. Speaking of rain, guess what was in the forecast for their wedding weekend? Yep, you got it. Rain, rain, and more rain. But here’s the plot twist—Mother Nature decided to cut us some slack this time. It was supposed to be a rainy day extravaganza, but instead, we got clear skies! From the outdoor ceremony at Oceancliff to the breathtaking Brenton Point, the weather made it possible for us to use the most picturesque backdrops for these two! Abbie and Bryan, we had an absolute blast capturing your wedding journey. From NYC to sailing around Newport (literally and figuratively) to this beautiful Oceancliff wedding it was our honor and pleasure to capture all these amazing moments!

In the immortal words of Beyoncé, this ain’t Texas, but that didn’t stop Ashley and Ryan from making the trip from Texas to host their wedding at the stunning Newport Beach House in Newport! We first met these two lovebirds last summer during their engagement session in Jamestown. Thanks to the magic of remote work they were able to spend the summer in Newport and boy, are we glad they did!

While most people pop champagne at their engagement sessions Ashley and Ryan brought some killer craft beer from Long Live Brewery where Ashley was working at the time. We got to give them an idea of what it’s like to live in the smallest state in the union when we found out our friend also worked there and would be at the wedding. Of course, Long Live beer made a special appearance at the Newport Beach House!

We already knew Ashley and Ryan were head over heels in love, but listening to their vows and the heartfelt speeches just confirmed they’re truly meant to be. Being around this kind of happiness is exactly why we love what we do.

These two have been listening to our podcast for the past year and messaging us about episodes—they felt like old friends when we arrived on their big day. At the end of the night, Ashley called us their New England besties, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more!

Thanks for having us and letting us be a part of your beautiful journey. Congrats, Ashley and Ryan!
