The Guild Pawtucket Wedding

A couple walks around the beer kegs at their wedding at The Guild Pawtucket in Rhode Island

Camilla and Cameron met over craft beer so getting married at The Guild in Pawtucket, Rhode Island made complete sense. Industrial space, exposed brick, beer barrels everywhere, the actual hum of brewing equipment in the background. It felt completely like them from the moment you walked in.

The details were soooo good. Custom beer labels with their faces on them (yes, really!). Beer-themed centerpieces. Camilla in a vintage-inspired lace dress that was genuinely stunning, Cameron in a retro suit that matched the whole vibe perfectly. The contrast of classic and industrial worked incredibly well and I had so much to shoot in every direction.

The Guild as a space is just fun to photograph. High ceilings, big windows, brick walls, the barrels — you’re never short of interesting backdrops. And Camilla and Cameron were completely easy and natural in front of the camera, which made everything feel effortless. Their people were fully there for it too. The dance floor was packed and loud and exactly what you’d want at a wedding like this.

BBQ from The Smoke Shop for catering, which, if you’ve ever had it, you already know. Guests were very happy.

As a Rhode Island wedding photographer I’d shoot at The Guild again without hesitation. It’s one of those venues that has genuine personality. It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is, and that makes for really authentic photos.
