I was speaking with my mom a few weeks ago + we were talking about my work as a wedding photographer + she said that “you have a front-row seat to joy!” + it really stuck with me. That conversation with my mom kept coming to mind this weekend.

I had the best seat in the house to the joy that surrounded Audra + Ryan. I am so lucky to have a career that places me in a seat to view joy so clearly. My gratitude to these couples that let me in + trust me to document this joy leaves me speechless. + these two, wow! so much open-mouthed throw your head back JOY!! From their unconventional pumpkin carving rehearsal dinner to their beautiful fall wedding celebration at Roger Williams Park Casino, JOY JOY JOY! These two just exude so much f-ing joy that it was absolutely phenomenal to witness + bask in its glow!

here are just a few frames from their wedding story
