Whitney & Tom got married on probably a day when the weather and lighting changed the most times during an 8-hour day! From moody cloudy skies in the morning to beautiful bright sunshine during their ceremony, and then back to rainy clouds in the evening, it was like having all of New England weather in one day! But we were up for the challenge.

Whitney & Tom live in NJ and got engaged in Hoboken where they met. We had the privilege to actually go out there with them and explore their neighborhood before the wedding. It was absolutely perfect. From every cuisine imaginable to a small little Italian festival happening right near the park Tom proposed. We got to experience Hoboken and its vibe perfectly before their big day back in Newport.

Newport Vineyards set the scene for the day with beautiful florals from the incredible Leslie Lee. Hair & Makeup by The Traveler Beauty Co. and entertainment by Unique Sounds! Literally, everything came together perfectly and we can’t wait to share a sneak peek of their day with you all.

This is a blog post we’ve been waiting to write up for years!! Literally years in the making! Courtney invested in us and had her high school senior portrait taken by us all the way back in the early years of Willow (back when we were still called Ryan DeVoll Photography) and since then, we’ve followed her, and her family every step of the way leading to this moment: her wedding. Back when we started Willow, we started it with 2 ideas in mind. One: that we get to know each and every client on a personal level so that way we’re more like friends rather than family and two: that we don’t treat every wedding like a cookie cutter wedding. This couldn’t have come more full circle for us when it came to Courtney & Rigoberto’s day. Over the last 10ish years we’ve gotten to know Courtney, and she quickly became more of a friend than a “client” and meeting Rigoberto made us smile from ear-to-ear like a family member meeting him for the first time. We could tell from the first meeting with him that he just wanted to make sure his bride got the wedding day she deserves, and on the day of, they were both giggling and smiling all night long. You can tell Courtney definitely brings out the best of Rigoberto and vise versa.

All of this to say that it was an absolute pleasure to document yet another important part to Courtney’s story. We can’t wait to see these two grow and their story to now become one and continue to unfold.

Meet: Courtney & Rigoberto

Rainer & Carson threw the best 4th of july party you can go to - a wedding! Honestly, we love holiday weddings because it gives the chance for everyone to come together and family and friends to gather on a day they might not usually have plans. I know for us, 4th of July is either a hit or a miss, so when Rainer & Carson told us they’d be getting married that day, we jumped with excitement! We couldn’t wait.

Rainer always dreamed of having fireworks on her big day, and honestly, name a better day to get married where fireworks are literally in the sky all night long!

We had such a blast, and can’t wait to show you more from their big day. But for now, check out their sneak peek!

Meghan + Nick’s June wedding was absolutely beautiful. The Codman Estate set the backdrop for the most beautiful summer weddings anyone would ask for. Gorgeous weather for this incredible couple made the day complete! Megan’s attention to detail made everything go by seamlessly. We had a blast documenting the photo & video for this classy couple. It’s not every day you get to be on a property that was the hottest place to be in 1799. The grounds were absolutely stunning. The one thing that stuck out to us the most from this day was the wedding party. When folks ask us what the biggest party we’ve documented is…this definitely tops the cake. They were all so supportive of Meghan + Nick and so loving. Everyone close to them was involved from the get-go. We can’t wait to share more images from their big day, and their incredible wedding video but for now, here’s a sneak peek into their day:

Can you imagine meeting your partner at school and then years later, marrying them right back where it all began? Well for Alex and Ted, it was a dream come true a few weeks ago.

It was a beautiful spring day, warm, and barely a cloud in the sky. The backdrop: Providence College and Eisenhower House in Newport, RI. It seriously couldn’t get any better than that. Providence College’s campus is filled with beautiful lush greens, and the Eisenhower house is right on Newport’s coastline. Making it perfect for photos & video!

Micaela + Andy weren’t just clients for us. They felt like family.

Last year we photographed Andy’s sister’s wedding…and even before that, we knew Andy’s brother Will from years back when he taught Ryan in high school! Crazy right?! Photographing Andy & Micaela felt like we were just at one of our best friends wedding. We knew everyone and everyone knew us. We had a bunch of laughs, endless inside jokes, and so much fun we seriously didn’t want to leave at the end of the night. To top it all off, they were at our favorite venue @newportvines.

Although the day was a little misty, that just meant we had the entire beach to ourselves and it was so dreamy 😍. A lot of folks don’t realize that cloudy days are sometimes better than bright sunny ones. And you know what they say, if it 🌧 on your wedding day, it’s good luck, right?

Either way, these two don’t need any luck. They’re already so perfect, so “sweet” (inside joke) and I have no doubt that their love is endless for one another.

Micaela + Andy’s full wedding will be available soon, but we couldn’t help ourselves. Here’s a little sneak peek into their day !

Happy 2022 everyone! Jeeze it’s weird to say that. I still feel like we’re in a cloud of 2020 but man, has it already been two years since? I am SO happy to finally be posting some new content with a bunch of weddings planned for 2022! First up, Samantha & Kevin who kicked off the season with us last month at Hotel Viking in Newport!

Did you know Hotel Viking is one of the only hotel’s in the area who do weddings in house? Not only that, but they’re the ONLY hotel with a rooftop bar & restaurant which makes for some awesome photos.

Samantha & Kevin we’re the best clients to kick off the season. They were so relaxed, trusted us 100% and were up to anything we threw at them! We headed off site from the hotel to grab some classic Newport vibes, and they didn’t question anything, even when we totally trespassed on a dock we weren’t supposed to be at haha!

We had an incredible time capturing their day and cannot wait to show you more!

We’ve been photographing pretty close to home lately. One place we absolutely love is Westminster Street in Providence. Not only is it home to some incredible restaraunts and small businesses, but it’s Hotel Providence & Grace church, which we visit frequently.

Kryslin & Larry became good friends of ours when we bought our home in February of last year. Larry does landscaping and we were in a total backyard makeover. Who would’ve thought that over the spring and summer of 2020 we’d become so close to one of our clients during a crazy world wide pandemic? We we’re so excited about it, and are so happy we did choose someone like Larry to help us with this transformation. Now, a year later, we finally got to celebrate with him and Kryslin. Their day was absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be happier to show you a little sneak peek.
