Carolyn and Jeff’s wedding was everything a Newport wedding can be; a beautiful day, a heartfelt ceremony at Jesus Savior Church, portraits on the beach, and a reception at the Atlantic Beach Club! I mean, who could ask for more?! We had the pleasure of shooting their engagement session in Providence during the winter which may have been the coldest session we’ve ever done at around 20 degrees so spending time with them on a warm October day was such a pleasure. Not only were Carolyn and Jeff wonderful to work with but we were surrounded by a dream team of vendors who together created a magical, beautiful, and inspiring day which fully reflected the love between this sweet couple. Aline Sarkis Beauty and Erica LaSorsa provided stunning makeup and hairstyling respectively, Greenlion Designs created stunning bouquets and tabletop floral displays, and Felicia’s Perfect Setting provided gorgeous linens which pulled everything together in a super sparkly way! You can view the rest of the wonderful vendors below this beautiful gallery of images!

Beautiful Lakeview Pavilion in Foxborough, Massachusetts was where THE New Year’s Eve party was last year! Gina and Adam started their wedding day with Adam getting ready in their newly purchased home and Gina getting beautiful in her parents’ home. It was such a sweet start to a day steeped in Greek tradition, love, and celebration. After the Orthodox Greek ceremony guests made their way to Lakeview Pavilion for dinner and dancing and some major NYE partying! Gina and Adam chose the perfect venue for a winter wedding, the early sunset makes for challenging lighting situations but Lakeview is bathed in white walls, curtains, and ceilings which made it a photographer’s dream! Just before midnight the champagne came out along with fun glasses, headpieces, and noisemakers. When the clock struck midnight the new year was rung in with our bride (in another fabulous dress) and groom on the center of the dance floor surrounded by their families and dearest friends.  The food never stopped, the drinks kept flowing, and the dancing went on way past midnight. It was a perfect beginning to the new year and Gina and Adam’s life together!

When Chris and Courtney look back on their wedding day they will be moved to tears. The day was filled with beauty and love and sunshine. Castle Hill Inn was at its summertime finest and bathed in light. The sailcloth tent was glowing in shades of white and pink, lit candles and twinkling lights.  At the center of it all were our bide and groom who chose to do a first look in the magnificent garden by the fountain. Courtney covered Chris’ eyes and when he turned around he saw his bride clad in a lacy Casablanca Bridal gown, diamond drop earrings & sparkly silver heels. Courtney’s flawless make-up by Aline Sarkis Beauty, side swept hair and fingertip veil highlighted her award winning smile; she was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect match for her handsome groom. After a stroll around the garden we met the wedding party for pretty portraits among the hydrangeas. Castle Hill Inn lies on a peninsula on the western-most tip of Newport. Once the summer Cottage of a wealthy marine biologist, it is now a luxurious hotel and event venue. During the summer of 1956 Grace Kelly retreated to Castle Hill while filming High Society with Frank Sinatra. She would climb down the steep rocks and sunbathe and swim in the cove away from prying eyes. The climb back up was very difficult so the staff built a stairway for her that we still use to this day. The cove is now named Grace Kelly Beach and this is where we took Chris and Courtney right before their “I do’s” by the water’s edge. After the heartfelt ceremony the wonderful staff drove us by golf cart to the historic lighthouse which was built in 1890. It’s somewhat harrowing to shoot over here but well worth it for the stunning views. It’s breathtaking! Cocktail hour on the lawn was followed by dinner and dancing under the tent. The reception was filled with a sit-down dinner, a memory filled slide show, incredible cake by Scrumptions, and their parents were each surprised with their own dance to their wedding songs. This was a magical day for Chris and Courtney and the perfect first day of the rest of their lives together!
