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
what a great way to celebrate mom’s 49th [really 70th] birthday by getting the whole far-flung family together for a family portrait. plus, it kinda takes care of the holiday cards as well. smart family! I had the pleasure of meeting them this past weekend + we made the best of the chilly sunny fall day at Goddard Park. for some reason, the youngest always steals the show.
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.
