Oh, what a day it was for this Mount Hope Farm wedding in Bristol, RI! The day was perfect for Courtney and Evan and the entire event was nothing short of spectacular! There’s something magical about the way this couple light up a room, and their Mount Hope Farm wedding was no exception.

The day started with the sweetest “first look” – a moment that had us laughing because we had to remind Courtney and Evan to stop chatting and focus on the photos. You’d think they hadn’t seen each other in years, not just a few hours! Their joy and connection made our job so effortless and fun.

Surrounded by wonderful people, Courtney and Evan truly have a village of love and support. When we first walked into the getting ready rooms we felt like we were amongst old friends. A special shoutout to Auntie Paula, who became my instant bestie despite the minor hiccup of telling her to move her phone out of my shot during the processional (a moment every photographer dreads, but she handled it like a champ!). It’s always a gamble whether someone will be annoyed by that request, but Paula took it in stride and kept the positive vibes flowing all day.

The flowers were nothing short of spectacular, adding a burst of color and beauty to every photo. And that tent – wow! Greenery draped elegantly from every corner, creating a dreamy, enchanting atmosphere. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, turning the venue into a perfect backdrop for such a memorable day.

Courtney and Evan, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be a part of your wedding. It was an absolute honor to capture each precious moment. Your love, laughter, and the wonderful people around you made the day truly unforgettable. We wish you all the happiness and best of luck in your journey together!

We work with a lot of couples who live out of state and come to Rhode Island to get married because why wouldn’t you travel to get married in beautiful Rhode Island?! Amina and Evan are one of those couples. They live in Washington, DC, and came to Little Rhody to have a beautiful Mount Hope Farm wedding! We were so lucky to meet these two before their big day! That doesn’t always happen but at the engagement session we were able to get to know this sweet couple in a low pressure, private setting.

Evan and Amina are so in love, and you can feel the emotion between them and their families. They gave us a lot of sweet moments to catch on camera, both during their engagement session and on their wedding day. Those pictures are some of our faves to this day!

One of the most touching parts of this wedding was Amina’s 1950s dress. She was the third generation of women in her family to wear it. Both her grandmother and mother, who wore the dress before her, were in attendance at the wedding, and we can’t imagine what they felt seeing her walk down the aisle in it. Amina’s mother and two sisters helped her get into the dress before the wedding and there was a lot of hugging and smiles.

After the cocktail hour, Amina changed into another dress because let’s face it… It’s not easy to dance in a hoop skirt! Maybe for a fourth generation?? The lace bodice and open back of her second dress was perfect for the garden vibe of her reception.

Amina, Evan and their whole families are such warm and kind people, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with them. We can’t imagine anything but a beautiful future for them, full of meaningful glances, sweet smiles and lots of love.

Chloe and Jess are world travelers who just don’t stop. They’re so on the move that we didn’t even meet them until their wedding at Cove Cabin at Mount Hope Farm!

The ceremony was beautiful, and the two of them looked stunning in a dress and tuxedo they had tailor made on one of their trips abroad. One of our favorite parts of the ceremony was Chloe’s bouquet by Newport’s Fig & Squill Floral Design. It looked like she gathered it from a field of flowers as she walked to marry her love. It had a romantic, undone look to it that suited her perfectly. And the dancing! There were only about 50 attendees at the wedding, but the way they danced, it felt like 500. The music from Fine Tune Entertainment sure kept the party going!

A lot of their guests were people Chloe and Jess met on their world travels, and a wedding highlight for them was riding a yellow school bus to the wedding venue. It was so fun to see their excited faces as they pulled up to the venue!

Chloe and Jess, we loved spending your wedding day with you and wish we could have spent even more time with you, but you were off on your next grand adventure! May your marriage to each other be the best adventure of your lives.
