Every year we have a handful of couples that truly stand out above the rest. Couples that not only fall in love with our photographs but become true friends to Jenn and I. They’re usually the laid back type, the adventurous duo and are always up for a cup of coffee, lunch or dinner with us. Emily & Warren are definitely apart of that group. From the first breakfast date with them, I knew we’d be amazing friends. We shared a love for traveling, adventures, food, and so much more. When it became time to photograph their wedding day, I knew it was going to be perfect and boy, it sure was…
Emily & Warren got married at the amazing Newport Vineyards which combined their love for wine, and Rhode Island all in one. It turned out to be one of the best weather days we could’ve asked for with cloudy skies and cooler temps. It was a little rainy at the beginning portion of the day but as soon as the ceremony time came, the showers had passed and it was beautiful.
These photos mean a lot to me. Not only because Emily & Warren are client’s of ours, but because they’re client turned friends. I had such a hard time choosing specific edits to give them and really perfecting the photographs down to every last detail. However, I think you’ll see that these two are madly in love, and are perfect for one another. I can’t wait to show you more…but for now, enjoy these sneak peeks!
With love,
Ryan

It's not very often I don't have the opportunity to meet my clients in person. Very rarely are they from somewhere other than Rhode Island or Massachusetts. However, Amanda & DJ contacted me and told me their story and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to photograph these two.
They met back in high school through mutual friends and started dating in college and ever since then, the rest was history. Originally from West Chester, PA they wanted to have their special day with a little coastal glamour and Newport was the perfect spot. I seriously had a blast photographing their day. From the getting ready, to the first look, to their portrait session - These two were up for anything. One of my favorite parts of their day was when Cayleigh (Amanda's MOH) made her speech. She spoke about how Amanda's dad, Richard (who unfortunately passed away) would be so happy that this day finally came so he could welcome DJ into the family. Although Richard couldn't be there, Cayleigh was and they had a special tradition in Amanda's family where new members would be sprayed in with Silly String - Cayleigh did the honors for Richard. It was a special moment in the room and almost had everyone in tears of joy. Richard was apart of the day just as much as anyone else. I spotted a photo of him and Amanda on a nearby table during the reception and immediately wanted to re-create that photo with DJ and Declan. You can see that below.
I apologize for the length of this post. It has to be the biggest blog post I've done in awhile. But these two are so gorgeous that I couldn't pass up sharing all of these with you. A special shout out and thank you to Shannon Matos, who joined us for the day and helped along the way! And to all of Amanda & DJ's family and friends: We hope you all enjoy these as much as we enjoyed capturing them.
With love,
Ryan

Earlier this month, on a stormy, cloudy day, Danielle & Jorge said "I do" and tied the knot at The Squantum Association in Riverside, RI. Luckily for us, the weather held out for the whole day! Danielle & Jorge couldn't have picked a better spot to get married at. Nestled in a little corner outside of Providence The Squantum Association is almost like having a wedding in Newport without actually heading to Newport.
Check out some of the highlights from their big day!
Danielle & Jorge's gallery will soon become available and will be accessible to family and friends using this link. Feel free to sign up now to receive a notification when it's live!
Maggie + Tyler are the sweetest couple ever. From the first time we spoke, all the way to their wedding day they were so kind and so loving. They both took time out of their busy lives to meet with me multiple times before their big day, and it soon started to feel like I was meeting up with friends rather than clients.
Their wedding in Weekapaug couldn't have turned out better. At the start of the day, we thought mother nature wasn't going to be so nice to us since it was pouring out. That didn't change Maggie & Tyler's attitude. They kept positive and it all worked out in the end! Just around the time Jenn and I arrived, the rain stopped and the skies cleared up (I maybe prayed a couple of times driving down to have the rain go away haha!) From the beautiful backyard her uncle provided, to the delicious food by A Thyme to Cook, and to end the night with the amazing band East Coast Soul (seriously, if you're getting married, check these guys out), the day turned out perfect.
We can't wait to share more photos from their big day but for now...Here are some highlights!
With love,

Last year I received an inquiry from Minneapolis. It's not very often I get inquiries from that area so I was eager to open it. From that day forward, a new friendship that formed over 1,300 miles away.
Colby & Erica met each other while going to school in Rhode Island. From dates at The Duck & Bunny (where they got their amazing cupcake tower from) to sushi dinners at Sakura, these two formed a bond that would eventually lead to marriage. When choosing a place to tie the knot, they had to come back to their roots. Bittersweet isn't in RI, but it's close by in beautiful Westport, MA. I photographed one of my all time favorite couples there: Alyce & Josh. Erica & Colby's photos, combined with their amazing families and friends, really made the day come together beautifully.
Congratulations!
PS. Please ship me more granola bars boo boo!
With love,
Ryan

I met up with Alisha & Joe just a few weeks ago in Newport, RI for their couples session. Although it was way colder and winder than we expected, they braved through it and we came out with some pretty amazing images :) Alisha & Joe met through some mutual friends 3 years ago on the 1st. Alisha was actually great friends with Joe's cousin and before you knew it, Joe and her met and the rest was history. I had a blast on their session and loved capturing their story.
Check out some of the highlights from their session!
