THE VILLA Wedding
EAST BRIDGEWATER, MA
We did Josh + Alexandria’s engagement photos (pre-pandemic) at Beavertail in Jamestown, RI - a great spot for engagement pics. Getting the opportunity to work with the couple prior to the wedding is a game changer. You already have a rapport and it’s like seeing an old friend, vs. just showing up having never met, I think this is really important.
If you ever wonder what it’s like to work with us, we have a very specific process on how we go about shooting the day. When we first arrive - we will check in on hair and make up, h/mu is something that we shoot very briefly once make up is complete. While the bride and her bridesmaids are getting ready we look for places to shoot the dress and all the details and Alexandria had a lot of them! This is a good thing, especially when it comes to video as it really adds a creative element.
Once we wrap with details we will go shoot groom prep (as long as it at the same location, if it’s not we recommend a separate photo/video team in order to capture it). For groom prep we have a very specific shot list that we want to capture and then we will get some of those candids of the boys ;)
The light for this day was magical, as you can see from the photos below. You don’t always get a perfect lighting scenario and overcast is always better than a bright sunny day, but Alexandria timed her ceremony to be just a few hours before sunset which allowed the sun to be going down while they said “I Do” but enough time after to get all their group shots, family photos and portraits.
There was never one point in the day where we felt rushed for time! Everything was accounted for as far as timing which really helps the day feel seamless. The couple chose to go with our Classic look, MMC1 - if you want something like this please reach out!
