Photographing Weddings at Providence Public Library

Providence Public Library is defined by its architecture. The columns, staircases, and high ceilings give the space a sense of scale that you do not find in many Rhode Island venues.

When I photograph weddings here, I try to let the architecture do the framing. The building creates strong visual structure on its own, so the photographs often feel dramatic without needing anything forced.
