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!

Lidina & Hamilton

Lidina and Hamilton's story is one that's sure to make your heart melt. Hamilton was a US Army solider, currently stationed in Iraq. After their engagement, Hamilton was deployed back to Iraq quickly and didn't have a chance to plan anything with his sweet new bride. However, that didn't stop Lidina. She quickly jumped on board, and planned everything out while keeping in touch with Hamilton each week. A story of true love. "Distance isn't a problem" Lidina told me. I then told her that distance makes the heart grow fonder anyway and that anytime she'll get to spend with Hamilton will be cherished forever. I was so excited to be apart of this couples story. Who wouldn't want to be apart of a "Dear John" love story? When Lidina found a photographer for their big day, Hamilton was stoked. He knew the importance of photographs of your life being a solider. I knew instantly that this was a couple I couldn't wait to get to know more.

Their wedding was beautiful. From the beautiful ceremony at St. Mary's Cathedral to photos in Newport, RI and then finally ending at their amazing reception at Independence Harbor (which was also the venue my aunt got married at when I was super young! I still remember it though!) I'm not sure who could ever top how much fun we had and how beautiful these photos are.

Congratulations you two! 

A big special thank you to all those vendors and people who made this beautiful day come true! Personally, I have to thank my second shooter and best friend, Casey Wright for helping me out on this one. I love the way her and I captured this day in a documentary style feeling.

This past weekend I got to photograph a wedding that I've pretty much been excited about all year. I met Khrystal & Roger almost a year and a half ago when they booked me. These two were perfect: they were fun to be around, always happy, always joking, and super caring. Their lovebird session photos were some of my favorite from this past autumn and I can't believe that just this past Saturday they officially tied the knot. The day couldn't have come together more beautifully. Special shoutout to Khrystal & Roger, their families and their friends who made the night extremely enjoyable for me! I had a blast and couldn't thank you all enough for inviting me there!

With love,
Ryan

Almost a week after I moved into my new place in RI, I received my first inquiry from someone in Pawtucket. Technically Tanna lives in East Providence and works in Pawtucket, but I'll still count it as a win :). She contacted me with a request I've never thought about before...Anniversary sessions. 

Tanna and her husband Louie, got married a year ago on April 12, 2014. They decided that they wanted to do an anniversary session every year to celebrate their love together. I was honestly super excited when she first called me and immediately loved all of her ideas. I couldn't wait to get to know her more. 

After meeting her in person, we instantly clicked! I had a blast with these two. They were so much fun and their session came out absolutely incredible. Below are some highlights from our time together. To view their full session, click here.

Cheers to the years ahead! 

With love,
Ryan
