Warwick Wedding: Carla and Brian

Some couples turn their weddings into an exercise in self-indulgence, but Carla and Brian made their special day a celebration for their family and friends at the Warwick Country Club in Warwick Rhode Island.

The couple started as co-workers in Attleboro, a community between Boston and Providence, and romance soon blossomed between them. The couple not only shared a profession, but a sense of humor and a love of life and spirit of adventure that brings them closer together with each passing day.

Norwood Wedding: Alex and Amanda

You can tell a lot about a couple by the company they keep. If I didn't know what a great couple Alex and Amanda were when I met them the first few times, I did at their wedding rehearsal.

I slipped in the back of St. Catherine's in Norwood, Massachusetts a few days before the wedding. I heard quiet laughter and conversation as the wedding party and family members repeated the steps of the wedding processional again and again. They were such an open and welcoming group that it was easy to step in and feel like more than just a professional photographer but a special guest (albeit one that was getting paid).

Love and Marriage: Our Policy on Same-Sex Weddings

Marriage isn't a piece of paper, or even just a celebration. Marriage is a path through life, a promise to take those steps with your partner through the good times and the bad.

Last week, the president took a step toward opening that path to all couples. At Ryan Richardson Photography, we'd like to reaffirm our support for all couples that want to share the rest of their lives together - whether their wedding has a bride and groom, two brides or two grooms.
