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
Jenna + Nick had the most perfect sunny fall day for their downtown providence wedding that took place at the graduate hotel. Jenna made such a beautiful bride + literally radiated joy the entire day. Nick, the dapper groom, totally kicked ass at the reception playing a set with his band. they chose to keep things simple by not having a wedding party so that their family + friends could just party at their wedding. but really it felt like their entire guest list was standing up for them the whole day. the beautiful ballroom at the graduate was busting at the seams with love. it was full of intimate special moments + here are just a few frames from their wedding story.
one of my favorite emotions is that moment between tears + laughter + let me tell you these two know how to create that emotion. from their beautiful + funny vows to their silent unrelenting strength + love for each other. it was such a special occasion celebrating their love, their 4-year-old son, Xavier, their strength as a couple, as a cancer survivor, + as partners. it was truly an honor to document their wedding that took place at the overlook at meehan in north providence.
here are just a few frames from their day.
