A few weeks ago I photographed Jessica and Matt at their home in the West End of Providence. I also live in Providence, but I don’t get to photograph too much here. Most people I work with live in Boston, which is where my business is based. Or they live in New York, or California, or just somewhere other than Rhode Island. So when I initially talked with Jessica on the phone — thinking she was out of state — I said “Where are you?” and she said “We live in Providence. On the West Side.” I said “Providence people! I’m in Providence too!” It was fun to just drive over to their side of town and photograph them on a Sunday. Rain was threatening so we photographed a bit indoors, but then we went for a walk and saw…. well you’ll see. That thing in the sky with the castle? It was real.
