How can we even begin to describe Kristen and Guy’s wedding? How?! It was the perfect combination of fun, love, quirkiness, Rhode Island and so much more!  Kristen is one of the owners of Luniac Glamour in East Greenwich so style and beautiful things are part of her job.  We started the day at Nylo for getting ready shots and some touching yet swanky first look photos.  The Temple of Music in Roger Williams Park was the setting for their ceremony. While it was super windy we thought it made for great photography. (We can find the silver lining in anything!) The newlyweds took off for their reception at Vanity in a vintage, baby blue Volkswagen Bug, complete with a just married sign and decoupaged, yes decoupaged, cans attached at the back. A few rain showers trickled in but that was just so a rainbow could appear over Providence for Kristen and Guy. This was the very first wedding reception at Vanity and the staff was amazing. A table with chocolate covered pretzel “cigars” and candy cigarettes greeted guests. The venue’s speakeasy theme suited the wedding styling perfectly, not to mention the signature cocktail appropriately named Love Potion, which was freshly made for each guest who ordered it. Every vendor, from the dress maker, to the bride and groom’s custom rings (hello, fingerprints engraved on each one?!), right down to us M’s was from right here in Rhode Island. Turns out big things do come in small packages! Enjoy!

Mix one part wind with a cute little dog named Oscar, throw in a couple in love and a blue sky and you have yourself a lovely engagement session. Margeaux and Kevin are having their wedding at the Providence Public Library this winter and we couldn’t be more excited! The India Point Park footbridge was the sight of their first date so naturally we took lots of photos there. We were all cracking up the entire time, it’s so nice to have the chance to get to know our couples on a more personal note during these engagement sessions. They brought along their dog, Oscar, who was happy to oblige in having his picture taken. We ended in a somewhat different spot to capture the sunset and create the ever important “alleyway chic” engagement portrait. This isn’t your parents engagement shoot (but they’ll still like it).

Here in New England we are very familiar with having to change plans because of lousy weather. In Melissa and Ronnie’s case, frigid temps and blustery winds postponed their engagement session not once or twice but FOUR times! We finally landed a beautiful April evening on the East Side of Providence. With the city as the backdrop, we walked and talked and worked on capturing the perfect photos to display at their upcoming Newport wedding. Melissa and Ronnie are getting married in exactly one month from today at the Atlantic Beach Club! Cooperation from Mother Nature would be greatly appreciated.
