Providence Wedding Photographers | Newport Wedding Photographers | Rhode Island Wedding Photographers – Mark Andrew Photography

These images were made at a local wedding in Providence, RI. I love dancing at every reception because it really shows the emotion of all the couples who get caught up in the emotion of the wedding day. People really let their guard down and some intimate moments present themselves. I step back and use my long lens so I’m not intrusive and people tend to forget I’m there and that’s when I’m happiest because as a wedding photojournalist I want to be invisible for ninety percent of the day.

Pawtucket and Providence Wedding of John and Vanessa- The couple had a rainy Saturday wedding this past weekend. The weather may have been a little gloomy, but everyone at the wedding and reception was blowing it out and having a great time. I love it when things may go astray with things like the weather, but no one cares. They just make it a unique part of their day. It was a privilege to shoot their big day and to see the love that they have for one another and their family and friends. The carousel and botanical gardens at Roger Williams Park in Providence were a nice touch for the couple of hours between the ceremony at St. Mary’s in Pawtucket and their reception in North Providence.

The Interlaken Inn was a wonderful location for a very memorable wedding day. Monica was a dream to work with and was an open book the entire day. Her Mom passed away so this was a bitter-sweet day for everyone involved. When Monica’s dad was coming by the room to see her for the first time in her dress she wanted a few minutes alone before her dad saw her and those first few moments together. I stood back and thought that even though these would be great shots, everyone has a limit so I was going to stay in the room and continue to shoot the rest of the bridal party.

Monica asked me to go with her on the back patio and I stood off in the corner trying to be as discreet as possible and these are my favorite hosts of that time. In the first you see Monica with her eyes shut composing herself before her dad walks out and in the second image you can see the happiness and some of the sorrow mixed in one emotion. Thanks you for trusting me Monica and I hope these photographs reveal the true moment.

I loved this wedding and hope I get to shoot again at the Interlaken Inn very soon!

The Five Bridge Inn in Rehobeth, MA was the site of a great wedding of Cailyn and Nick. Itwas a gorgeous day until the ceremony and then storm clouds came in during the ceremony, but luckily it did not rain, but added a little drama to the ceremony. It was a touching ceremony with Nick’s brother acting as the officiant. There were some touching stories and  the ceremony notes were even in the childhood book that was a favorite for Nick.

Cailyn and Nick’s wedding was Saturday the 27th in Rehobeth, Massachusetts at the Five Bridge Inn. It was a location close to home, but unknown to me so it was a real treat to shoot there. The Inn and grounds are beautiful and Cailyn and Nick really took the time to take care of the small details that make each wedding unique.

At each wedding I like to get a few shots behind the bride and groom, Times like before entering the church or as the enter the reception when being announced. I like to do this as it brings them back to a few sepcial moments in the day and hopefully they will recall things after seeing a photograph from their point of view.

Just a quick post. I was working on some images and found this image that was made in front of a window that had to be 12 feet in height. I took a spot meter reading off the window so it would throw here in shadow and did a quick black and white conversion in Photoshop and viola! I love images with silhouettes. I always feel like ti tends to lead the viewer into the mystery of the image.

The Stonehill College and the Milton Hoosic Club were the sites of Julie and Pete’s wedding and reception. The Stonehill College Chapel was appropriate as Pete and Julie met as undergrads and where there romance began. The Milton Hoosic Club is a beautiful reception site and is located on the South Shore. This was my first time shooting there and I look forward to many returns! They have a wonderfully helpful staff  they really made it a special evening for the couple and all their family and friends.
