How can we begin to describe Meaghan and Brendan’s glamourous, vintage and all out perfect wedding at the Dorrance in Providence? Oh wait, we just did! We started at the Hotel Providence where our couple was getting ready, ran into our fabulous former bride Kristen of Luniac Glamor who was beautifying Meaghan and her ladies. Then we brought in the groom so he and his bride could read love notes without catching a glimpse of each other. When everyone was ready it was onto the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul where they opened their doors for the first time since a major renovation. Guests were treated to a Rhode Island novelty of Del’s frozen lemonade and then off to The Dorrance for dinner and dancing. Meaghan was unbelievably gorgeous, and as we stated in their engagement session blog, Brendan (equally as handsome) was clearly smitten. Elaine’s flowers had the tables decked out with amazing tablescapes reflecting the ornate decor of The Dorrance. Their band, Splash, had guests dancing before dinner, which is always a great sign! It was an epic party celebrating this wonderful couple. Enjoy!

What better way to follow up an engagement session at Fenway Park than with a wedding on St. Patrick’s Day? And that’s exactly what Meghan and Lucas did! It also happened to be Marisa’s oldest son’s birthday, but missing holidays and birthdays comes with the territory of being “weekend warriors”.  We had such a great time with Meagan and Lucas at their engagement session that we couldn’t wait for the wedding.  Not much could top having Fenway Park all to ourselves but we did it!  The wedding day was beautiful!  That doesn’t happen often in March.  Meagan dreamed of being able to go outside for pictures and that is exactly what we got to do.  Of course there were some unruly groomsmen (you know who you are), but we’ve yet to meet any that are well behaved so it’s ok.  We would wish Megan and Lucas ‘good luck’ on their marriage but we are pretty sure they already nailed that one down!  Since the luck of St Patrick is on their side we will end with an old Irish blessing…  “May the love and protection St Patrick can give be yours in abundance as long as you live”

We get so many thank you notes from our clients.  They are all just too amazing not to share!

“Dear Marisa and Melissa,  First of all we would like to say that we hope you had a wonderful time at our wedding, even though you were busy snapping photos.  You guys are a blast!  We can not thank you enough for the beautiful work you did on our wedding day!  We absolutely love the pictures!  We can tell that you both are best friends because you make such an awesome team!  We didn’t feel like you were there as photographers at our wedding but rather good friends who happen to be photographing us.  It is because you are both such nice people and made us feel relaxed.  We are so glad that you got pictures of everything from the landscape and the details to us, the wedding party and all the dancing.  Also we love the photobooth.  It really helped to make our wedding special.  Our guests were able to cut loose and have a great time and now we have all the pictures from it.  We can’t wait to see the official wedding album because you laid it out so perfectly!  And we know it seems like forever ago but we still look at our engagement photos and think how beautiful they are and how much fun we had at the session.  We can’t describe how wonderful your work is.  When we saw the pictures we are so happy that we had you both as photographers.  Thank you so much!  We know M.Studios is going to go far because you are both so talented.  We wish you and your families the best!  Love Kim and Justin“
