This was our first time documenting a wedding at Five Bridge Inn.  Some people are concerned when we have never been to a venue.  Although familiarity can be nice it can also be a hindrance.  We always want to keep our work fresh and new.  When you go to a place you know like the back of your hand it can be a challenge.  New venues pump creativity through our veins!  It’s exciting to peek around a corner to find the coolest textured wall or a perfectly lit garden!  Every time we wandered to a new area at Red Bridge Inn there was something new and beautiful to photograph!  Aimee mentioned in her questionnaire that she was excited to get a photo with the llamas.  Ummmm what?!  Yes!  It turns out Five Bridge Inn has llamas on site!  Needless to say wish granted!  We made that llama photo dream come true obviously!  How could we not?  This wedding reunited us with one of our favorite vendors, Jaime Nelson at Eventfully Planned!  When we heard Jaime would be in charge we knew that the wedding would not only be beautiful but it would run smoothly.  We were right!  With the help of Golden Gate Studios and Peak Event Services the decor was so gorgeous!  Confectionary Designs made a cake just for us topped with an M and lemon accents for Marisa (lemon is her fave)!  Well it was actually for Aimee and Chris, but we felt like it was our cake.  Although they did leave some of their delicious donuts for us vendors and they were to die for!!!  We really do love our wedding vendor friends!  Can’t wait to see you all this wedding season!

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!
