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

Sandra and Chris picked a wonderful day to celebrate their wedding. The chose Old Sturbridge Village and the setting was unique and inviting. When Sandra was getting ready she mentioned that she has a hard time getting Chris out on the dance floor and that she was excited because today he’s HAVE to dance with her. I try to be on my toes the entire wedding day, but I knew that theses pictures would be one of the special moments that Sandra would like to look back and remember.

Newport RI Engagement Session of Beth and Chris - Beth and Chis are a local couple and during the process of getting to know one another we really hit it off. They have many of the same tastes and are just fun vibrant people to be around. They really love one another and it shows within one minute of spending time with them. The engagement session was shot on Saturday the 18th in December in Newport, RI and we beat out the big Nor’easter by a couple of hours. Newport is a special place for both as Chris loves sailing and Beth is a graduate of Salve Regina. Even though it was cold and windy they smiled through jittering and had a lot of fun while playing around in front of the camera that afternoon.

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 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.

Krista at Krista Photo was nice enough to have me shoot as her second on June 13th for a wedding in a private home in Marion that was absolutely spectacular. I just sent the DVD to her yesterday and promised no wedding shots, but I thought I’d throw one up showing her hard at work! I was off to the side shooting the bridal party on the pier and the Nikon 200 f2 lens from LensProToGo was a huge advantage over my 70-200VR 2.8.  Be prepared to use a monopod or having your left arm ballon up twice the size of the other form all the weight lifting!

In making an image I almost always try to get in right when I put my eve to the viewfinder. Sometimes there are images that are meant to be shot with a square format such as you would find on classic images made with a Hassleblad. I came across two of these images here when I was doing some design work for a studio album and thought I’d share them.

Just a quick post about Jen and Brian. What a wonderful couple who love each other dearly. Brian and jen chose to get married in Maine and their wedding was absolutely gorgeous. This was a great gig for me as I’ll take any excuse to go home to Maine. I grew up in Maine and any excuse to go up there in August I’ll grab. Heck, to be paid to hang out with this couple and their family and friends was icing on the cake. This group knew how to let their hair down and party. I’d like to give a shout out to Jen at Jenifer Lynn Photography as I shot this wedding as her second. She couldn’t be a more down to earth and friendly person to work with and a great photographer to boot!
