Studio Nouveau

My husband and I were lucky enough to live in the same town as Studio Nouveau, so we stopped in after work one day and sat down with Lara, the owner. We werent interested in hiring a videographer for our wedding, which made picking the perfect photographer all that more important. When we sat down with her that hot/humid summer night, and she handed me an iced cold Narragansett summer shandy, I knew we would get along. Lara is easy to hang out with, she had us laughing from the moment we met her - which is very important! You are going to be spending several hours with your photographer, and it can get intense. We knew it wasnt just about talent - which let me clarify Lara is UNBELIEVABLY talented - but there also had to be a level of comfort. Lara is the ultimate professional, she answered all of my technical, what-if and sometimes ridiculous questions without hesitation. She never caused any excess stress and her speedy & thoughtful replies always helped put this Type-A bride at ease. It was never difficult to get in touch with her & she was always positive & upbeat. We had a great engagement session by the Charles River, we built a beautiful guestbook together, and leading up to the big day she helped us create a timeline that worked with her and our other vendors. It was actually all quite easy. Lara brought Jaime as her 2nd shooter, and together they were a joy to work with on our wedding day. We got all the photos we wanted and she kept us on schedule without being too intrusive. She gives just enough direction without forcing it. My favorite photos are always the candids, and she knows how to capture those moments beautifully. Weve received many compliments from our wedding party about how much they enjoyed our photographers. Lara is a true talent & a wonderful human being. We felt lucky to work with her!

Lara and her team are just amazing. If you want your big day captured beautifully, stop looking and hire Studio Nouveau! After we locked down our venue, we knew that choosing a photographer would be an important decision. After finding Studio Nouveau, we were impressed immediately by Lara's responsiveness and friendly demeanor over email; when we met her in her studio we were sold! One of the things we were looking for in all vendors were people who we'd enjoy working with through the planning process and who we knew we could trust to make everything happen on our wedding day (we wanted to dance the night away without worrying about details!). We thought Lara fit that bill 100% and she totally delivered. Oh, and she's really, truly, incredibly talented. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, she made us feel at ease being photographed (not a usual occurrence for either of us!) and captured some truly amazing, fun, loving, beautiful moments that we never would have imagined. We love our photos...and also know that we're biased :) But, as we've shared them with friends and family, we've gotten so many compliments about how amazing the photos are! We knew that the photographer we chose would be really important: the photos would turn into the memories we had of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier that we chose Lara and Studio Nouveau!

I am at a loss for words at how perfect and beautiful the entire experience of working with Lara and Val was before the big day and during the wedding. From the very beginning during our engagement photo shoot, (which I suggest to every engaged couple in order to get used to the camera always being there during your big day) Lara made my husband and I feel completely comfortable and made it seem like we were just taking a walk in the woods. Lara and Val are professional, creative, and genuinely fun women that it was like having a couple more girl friends around while getting ready. They also were able to think on their toes when the bus coming to pick the entire bridal party up for the first look was rear-ended. In order to stay on schedule they suggested an even more wonderful place to do the first look instead. I'm so happy they were there to help in that moment! After each photo of family and friends Lara would say, "A+++", well, Studio Nouveau we give you an, A++++ for your hard work, creativity, fun attitudes and for just being awesome! We will be looking at our pictures in 50 years from now thinking of how glamorous and special you made us feel that day. Thank you!
