Joe and Bailey’s ceremony was held at the First Unitarian Church of Providence, just across the street from their reception venue, the Hope Club.  I like having a little time to snap away as friends and family congregate before the ceremony.  The final photo in this set is of the two moms … look how excited they both are!

When couples choose not to see each other before the ceremony, I try to get a good shot of the groom seeing his bride for the first time when the doors of the church open.  Joe was beaming.  🙂

The balcony running all around the church was really neat; it afforded me a great view and helped to minimize my presence during the service.

There were some great moments during the ring exchange … happy days!  Some final shots from the service:

After the ceremony, everyone gathered outside the church.  It was cute watching Bailey and Joe show off their new rings.

Next up are Bailey and Joe’s couples portraits – and we got some really awesome nice stuff.
