We had such a wonderful experience with East Coast Capture for our Fall Picture Day!…read moreAfter working with them for our graduation photos last year, we were excited to have them back, and once again they went above and beyond. From the planning beforehand to the actual photo day, they made every accommodation possible to ensure the process was smooth, organized, and stress-free. Kayla, Sarah, Darlene, and Jaylin were our photographers, and they were absolutely fantastic. They were patient, professional, friendly, and especially great with our students. You could tell that a lot of thought and attention to detail went into every part of the photo shoot. They arrived with three separate photography setups, which allowed us to move students through quickly and efficiently without making the experience feel rushed. For a busy school picture day, that made a huge difference. Heather, the photo manager, also came out personally to make sure everything was running according to plan and that our school had everything we needed. That extra level of care and attention really stood out to us. One of the biggest compliments I can give is that multiple staff members came to me afterward specifically to tell me what a great experience they had and how impressed they were with the entire team. That says a lot, especially on a day that can easily become hectic in a school setting. We truly appreciate the entire East Coast Capture team for making our Fall Picture Day such a positive experience. They were professional, organized, accommodating, and wonderful with our students from beginning to end. We are now really looking forward to seeing the final photos and the results of all the care and attention they put into the day. We highly recommend East Coast Capture and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of our school!

Escape RI is really an adventure for those who take part of it.... The staff sends you into a themed, immersive game space filled with puzzles, and you have to solve them all in order to "escape" within the hour. Now after the pandemic, all games are private, so you only go in with people you know. The are several room and several types of experiences! While you play, the venue is being constantly monitored by a trained Game Operator, and an emergency exit is always available in case of discomfort or actual emergency. You are never locked in a room. The lights may get dim at some points, but there's no (intentionally) spooky music or sounds, no frightening pictures, and certainly no one is going to jump out at you. All surfaces are sanitized regularly by the staff. The base price to rent one of the rooms is $79 which includes two admission tickets, which is also the minimum number of players needed to play our games. Each additional ticket is an additional $29 per person. Each room has individual capacity limits. The smallest game room can hold up to 4 players, two of the game rooms can hold up to 6 players each, and the largest game can hold up to 10. Our group needed some help in some of the rooms with the puzzles and clues, so you can ask for help and the operator will help you with hints. At the end of the game, we did not Escape, but it was a fun experience about teamwork, leadership, puzzle solving, and much more.... LOL...

I came in to do photos for my Instagram account that focuses on iced coffee and cocktails. Stephanie (Espy) is absolutely amazing! She put together vision boards for me for both the coffee and cocktails and I ran with those visions. I've never done professions photos before, but she made it stress free. She helped me pick out outfits to use, helped guide me through shot ideas (I'm usually taking photos of drinks, not being the main piece of a shoot), and coached me through each section of the experience. She captures various looks and went above and beyond with everything. We tried cool ideas like balancing coffees on my sneakers or cocktails on high heels---things I never would have thought of or dared trying had it not been for her! She sent over a Timelapse of our time working together and then sent over dozens of photos for me to pick from. Narrowing down so many amazing photos that she took was hard! She is so talented. I love how she has special pricing options for ordering more. It allowed me the chance to pick many photos that I loved from the gallery she put together. The shoot was such a fun experience, unlike anything else I've ever done before! She made it feel like a fun hangout with a friend rather than something that normally might stress me out. She's the best! If you're looking for stuff to build a brand, headshots, social shots or more, she's your girl! She is creative, innovative and oh so talented.

They captured every moment so beautifully and naturally -- nothing felt forced or overly staged. Watching our video back felt like reliving the day all over again, down to the smallest details we didn't even realize were happening at the time. The editing, the timing, the music... everything was just perfect. Beyond the talent, what really stood out was their energy and presence. They made everyone feel comfortable, kept things running smoothly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was captured. If you're even thinking about booking them -- do it. You will not regret it. This is something we'll cherish forever, and I'm so grateful we chose them!

I participated in Gallery Night Providence on August 15th for the first time. There were 5…read moredifferent guided tours visiting different art spaces in Providence leaving from the Graduate Hotel at 11 Dorrance Street and the WaterFire Arts Center at 475 Valley Street at different times. I chose the 5:00 pm tour leaving from the Graduate Hotel with a friend. I registered through Eventbrite and made a donation to guarantee our spot on the tour. Half of the seats on the trolley or mini coach will always be available (first-come, first-served), completely free, to anyone who shows up on Gallery Night. The other half of the seats are available to those that reserve in advance via Eventbrite by making a donation. If you are reserving multiple tickets like I did, Eventbrite requires a separate reservation for each ticket since each order is only for one ticket. Eventbrite also charges a small fee ($0.03). A confirmation email was sent on the day of reservation and reminder email was sent earlier in the week about the event. On August 15th, my friend and I checked in at the podium with a Gallery Night banner near the main entrance. We were handed a pamphlet with a list of the different tours and all the galleries on view. Around 5:00pm, we met our Gallery Night Guide Jenn Wilson and walked to the mini coach. I'm glad we chose the trolley/mini coach tour instead of the walking tour, because there was torrential downpour of rain for pretty much the whole duration of our tour. Our first stop was at Galerie le Domaine at Domain Properties (a real estate office). At this gallery, we saw the works of Neal Walsh. Walsh's work is primarily abstract, inspired by seasonal shifts of light, the elemental forces of nature, and an everlasting faith in the elegance of ferns and the song of the wood thrush. This exhibit title "Our days are weatherworn" is from the poem, "The Goneness of Lost Things" by Don Domanski. Walsh hopes the paintings evoke invisible threads, a bit of mystery, a spark of recognition, and perhaps a lost memory of connection in the viewer. The pieces were interesting to see and definitely gave me feels. It was also cool to see artwork on a mantle and on top of a couch compared to the usual art studio or gallery. Second stop was Anahid Ypres Art Studio located on the 3rd floor of 118 N Main St. At the studio, we saw pieces by artist Anahid Ypres and guest artist Fior De La Cruz. There were big pieces with vibrant colors and even pieces using fluorescent paint. These pieces were beautiful. There were also cups of wine, mini bottles of water, and snacks (peanuts and pistachios). The third and final stop was Providence Art Club. We spent time looking at pieces by young artists affiliated with Riverzedge Arts of Woonsocket. The young artists are so talented! There was a reception with cheese and we had the opportunity to meet some of the artists and talk about their work. Around 7:00pm, we arrived back at the Graduate. Time went by so quickly and I had such a great evening. Jenn was a great guide and very personable and friendly. In between stops, she would talk about RISD, Brown, downtown Providence, and encourage us to think about the art setting and the artwork we were looking at. Each of the galleries we visited were different and stunning in their own way. I am definitely interested in participating in another Gallery Night Providence. It'll always be a unique experience since there are different galleries and different works displayed.

I have had the great pleasure of working at the Meeting House numerous times throughout the past few years, photographing weddings on the property. The venue is incredibly unique and beautiful, with its expansive green lawn great for ceremonies, lawn games, and photographs. Also the simple yet elegant exposed beam design inside the building has so much character yet leaves room for couples to add to the space to integrate their own personal style into their wedding day. The weddings I have been able to photograph here seem to all have a comfortable relaxed atmosphere as couples and their wedding guests feel immediately at home at the Meeting House. The Meeting House staff is always pleasant and eager to help both vendors navigate throughout the space as well as couples to ensure the day runs soothly and effortlessly on the newlyweds part. I am eager to work here again in the 2015 wedding season. The photography opportunities are endless with the Meeting House being surrounded by the historic village of Tiverton Four Corners and all the historic buildings and beautiful stone walls throughout the area.

This makes her an exceptional art instructor and you can see it in the work of her students! My daughter just started taking lessons from Ms. Venditto and I can already see a HUGE improvement in her techniques. There's a showcase at the end of the winter sessions (8 weeks total, 2 hours a week), but was able to take a sneak peak. I got the chance to introduce myself to the teacher today and talk to her a bit. She's warm, welcoming, and very easy to talk to. I also love the high level of professionalism of her business--very important to me. Online registration and payment are available online and confirmation is sent via email, which makes enrollment very convenient. FYI, she's currently a high school teacher in a different town and has to commute. Gotta admire her dedication! Luckily, we live close by. Students who get the chance to study under her are fortunate.
