Massart Photographers capture a Providence G Wedding

Wedding photography in RI, CT, MA

 

Mariely and Mike’s wedding at The Providence G was nothing short of spectacular! With a cocktail hour on the rooftop and an elegant reception in the ballroom, this was one event that won’t be forgotten!

The bride and groom are so so so sweet and down to earth (although most of our couples are, which makes us feel so lucky!) Mariely, who could pass for Miss USA, and Mike, the quiet but warm and fuzzy groom, made us feel like we were walking around Providence with celebrities! But even better than their stunning looks? These two are some of the kindest and most easy going people we’ve had the pleasure of shooting.

Love an elegant, glitzy wedding? Look no further than this one. The elegant yet trendy, rooftop cocktail hour started with a photographer’s dream – a red carpet with a step-and-repeat photowall (which I so wanted to steal for our studio) which was the perfect backdrop for more fun and gorgeous photos of the bride and groom. Add in a exquisite, beaded wedding dress and glamorous ,vintage details, and it all makes for some stunning wedding photos (if I do say so myself!)

But, beyond the physical details, what really stood out in all of their pictures was the love. Not just between the bride and groom (which you can obviously tell), but between all the guests as well. During all the speeches everyone spoke so highly of them, and the glowing faces of the wedding party and guests just say it all!

Not only was Mariely and Mike’s Day amazing, but recently Seth and I have been so amazed at the outpouring of love and positivity each time we showcase someone’s special day. Not only were Mike and Mariely referred to us, but since shooting their wedding, we have met with one of the groomsmen and his fiancee and they have booked us for their wedding. There is no better feeling than knowing that years from now these two lovebirds (and their families and friends) will enjoy looking back on their absolutely stunning wedding day!

 

Completely obsessed with this wedding dress!!!!

Oh and the veil too! So dramatic!

I love this photo that seth got of the boutonniere! And another shot of the shoes because I couldn’t choose between direct light and side light!

Some getting ready action before the ceremony!

Such a moving moment as Mariely opens her gift from her groom to be!

Those suspenders are so dope! Oh and so are Mike’s initials! ?

Loving these getting ready moments with his best man!

Ok he is just as elegant! Wait, is that not manly? Anyway, you get the point! #dontmindtheESLgirl

I don’t know who was more excited to see this wedding gown on! Me or Mariely!?

Something about bridesmaids and mothers helping the bride ?

A photo of the bouquet which by the way, was photographed on the bathroom floor like the rest of the details! Sometimes, beautiful light and texture are found in strange places!

These two…. I can’t!

Meanwhile….

He should be smiling because….

He got a Little Black Book!!!!!! Best. Gift. Ever ladies!

Dashing!

Groom and his mama 🙂

Slightly obsessed with the groom portraits Seth took I have to admit!

Something about this portrait screams elegance to me? Maybe it’s the bride?!

Ok maybe this one too….

Classic window portrait!

I’m in love with this photo and it has nothing to do with any technical aspects, in fact the light is less than ideal but boy, the way she is looking at her dad as he is putting all of his focus into helping her melts my heart.

The anticipation before the ceremony is always palpable.

I love that everyone is helping her somehow!

These were taken at the same time by Seth and I; I love that it shows them both radiating!

Mariely, her dad and the ring bearer are ready for the ceremony!

LOVE when people agree to leave the church doors open!

I get chills just thinking about these two and this moment.

I love that this shows not only her fun loving personality but her giddiness in seeing her groom!

Seriously… My favorite pictures from their whole wedding day are these sweet glances they give each other.

I think that close up photos are so important during vows, I mean isn’t that what the whole wedding day is about?

And also photographs of their loved ones glancing adoringly!

It’s always scary running backwards in a church, hoping I don’t trip over anyone and sharing the aisle with the videographer LOLOL but it’s so worth it!

Yay!

Just standing in the doorway, taking advantage of that gorgeous light! Some things ya just can’t plan!

This beautiful church, that stunning veil… Great job kids!

A couple of quick portraits in the beautiful light!

You will be seeing more of grandma!!!

So many photographers who like the more natural moments dread the posed formals. I actually have learned to love them because in between them is when I get my favorite photographs. These were not posed yet they are so similar, you two were meant to be!

I always love seeing what bridal parties come up with when asked for their best pose!

Can I please take this tree home?! It was perfect for bride and groom portraits!

I think they like their video sneak peek from Mike Picard!

The Providence G was completely amazing!

GAH those details! I love that they managed that much glitz and glam but remained classy and timeless in their decor!

We always love catching the bride and groom as they see their wedding reception site and take it all in. We also love when they agree to take a few moments to not only get some more portraits but to take it all in!

This photo and the next were taken seconds after the previous one which was playful and felt best suited with some crisp, white, natural light. For this one and the next, we wanted something a little more moody and passionate. This is what keeps photography exciting in my opinion, the possibilities are endless! There is always something new to learn! When I started, I was strictly natural light. Now, I love being able to manipulate an environment to look however I want to so that it can match the feel I’m looking for. Enough technical stuff 🙂 How glamorous are these two?!

Wow was this a cool cocktail hour! The rooftop at the Providence G was so fun and trendy!

This is Lauren, she is the reason we had the honor of capturing Mariely and Mike’s wedding! Lauren, we can’t thank you enough!!!

Seriously, can I PLEASE have that wall?!?!? As if they weren’t glamorous enough, now they are on a step and repeat!!!!

OK, that’s an entrance!

Mr. and Mrs. Siravo!

They are happy 🙂

We love when the bride and groom dip in an ideal spot! You guys are seriously right out of a movie…Did I say that yet?

So proud of Seth for stepping outside the box and working his butt off to get our couples some creative but still romantic photographs!

The tears

And Mike is just too cute with his mom. He sure knows how to treat the women in his life!

what a gentleman!

Can I make a confession? Cake cutting photos are not my favorite, they feel staged, but then sometimes they don’t! c

Those were quite the speeches! You guys are seriously so loved.

I told you you would see more of grandma! I have so much respect for her energy and genuine love for Mike and Mariely!

We are so glad that they were willing to be stolen away from the party for a few minutes so we could get some cool downtown photos old Hollywood style!

Romantic night time twinkle light portraits make me giddy! You guys are too cute!
