We had the incredible pleasure of documenting the unforgettable union of Alex and Tommy at Castle Hill Inn in Newport, RI. As you know we love a Castle Hill Wedding, but an Italian wedding AT Castle Hill? I’m happy to say this one truly lived up to our expectations. Hailing from New Jersey, this couple brought a taste of their vibrant heritage, making their wedding a feast for the senses.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Castle Hill Inn, every detail was meticulously curated with the help of Wanderlust Events, elevating the guest experience to unparalleled heights. Greenlion Designs worked their magic, transforming the tent into a radiant space. The hanging floral display above the head table was nothing short of extraordinary. We were in awe!

Now, let’s dive into the heart of it all—the couple. Alex and Tommy, lifelong besties since high school, embarked on a love story that began in those early days. Tommy, a true romantic, wore his heart on his sleeve, shedding tears and showcasing the depth of their emotional connection.

This Castle Hill wedding was a testament to love, joy, and the richness of Italian traditions. These two italian girls were so happy to be there to document all that beauty!

Every once in a while, we meet a family so welcoming and generous with their love that we feel like we’re part of their event rather than outsiders looking in. Jared and Tyler’s rehearsal dinner at Bowen’s Wharf was one of those nights.

Jared’s mom, Sherri Klein, is a Newport wedding planner, which is perfect because Jared and Tyler live in Florida and needed some long-distance help. We were so flattered that out of all her industry contacts, Sherri trusted us to photograph the most important wedding she’ll ever plan!

We didn’t meet Jared and Tyler until the night of the rehearsal dinner, but when we finally met, it was love at first sight! And not only toward them, but toward their entire families. And they had a beautiful night for their rehearsal dinner — perfect for a few shots on the Wharf. We got so caught up in capturing the couple’s happy smiles that Marisa almost fell off the dock, camera and all! Now that’s dedication.

That beautiful night was the start of a beautiful relationship, and we can’t to show off the photos from the main event!

This wasn’t our first time to visit Blithewold Mansion with Jacquee and Matt. We were there with them once before for their engagement session. One of our favorite parts of our job is documenting the growth of a family — from engagement shoots to wedding shoots to maternity shoots to family portraits! And this maternity session was particularly exciting because Jacquee and Matt have been waiting for six long years to welcome a baby.

It’s so much fun to photograph this couple; not only because they are incredibly sweet and thoughtful, but because Jacquee has incredible style! She picked the perfect outfit for the setting and looked equal parts fairy princess and earth mother with just a dash of boho babe in the woods. Gorgeous!

The couple sent us a note after our session that made us cry, thanking us for documenting their life’s fleeting moments and making the experience “magic.” Jacquee and Matt — the magic is in you! And especially in that new little life you brought into the world.
