On June 7th, my faithful friend walked down the aisle into the arms of the man who eyes light up when she enters the room.
The setting was mystical. Ingrid and Eric's ceremony took place inside St. Micheal's the Archangel in South Providence. This church has been part of our families for generations. It is a work of art with dark mahogany pews, stain glass windows that tell intricate stories and marbled columns framing the aisles.
Melissa Robotti beautifully captured the ceremony in her self described photojournalism-style.
The photos you see here are some of my favorite taken at Temple Downtown in Providence. Temple is a hotel where a classic elements meets street art. The photo with the graffiti is also in downtown Providence. Together these pictures brilliantly showcase Ingrid's own classic style mixed in with inner city art.
Photography has emerged as art in weddings. Many years back we hired photographers to capture the day. Most brides in the late nineties had perfectly staged photos of the wedding parties, families and newlyweds.
Today we have photos with an edge. Photographers are not just capturing the day, they are helping tell the story. And in my opinion, Melissa Robotti of Boston is among the best in telling the story of people uniting in love with family and friends.
I must admit I often visit her website to see what's new, but mainly to relive the excitement of watching my best friend marry her love. I invite you to visit her website and see the story of Ingrid and Eric's wedding day unfold.
