We met Rebecca and Jonathan on Goat Island in Newport for their summertime engagement session. Jonathan loves boats so it was the perfect setting for us to get to know each other and make some pretty images. Their wedding was coming up pretty quickly and it was very clear how excited they were! After exploring the docks by Regatta Place we headed over to The Hyatt where you get the most breathtaking view of the Newport Bridge. Plus, we had the added bonus of shooting by the lighthouse. If that’s not Rhode Island enough for ya, we then went to the beach for some of that sandy goodness. Stay tuned for their gorgeous Linden Place wedding!

Sometimes our couples make our job so very easy…picking a beautiful location, wearing the perfect outfits, and being incredibly good looking! Combine all these factors and you have yourself an awesome engagement session. We met Courtney and Chris for the first time outside the gates of Ochre Court, one of our most favorite places in the state to shoot. We found them to be as lovely on the inside as they are on the outside. We had a nice time getting to know them as we explored the grounds and then headed over to a secret spot also in Newport. Courtney and Chris were naturals in front of the camera and we are so excited to see them again for their Castle Hill wedding this August!

When we first met Jennifer and Dan via Skype we asked them what they were most looking forward to at their wedding and Dan replied “A dance off”! How great is that?! While there wasn’t any dancing at their Newport engagement session there were plenty of smiles and lots of love. We wandered around by Trinity Church, down to the water, and ended up on Lower Thames St; a perfect walking tour of some prime spots in Newport, especially since Dan proposed to Jennifer in this area. Plus, dodging the tourists has become one of our favorite pastimes. Maybe that will change if we get to see an actual dance off at The Biltmore next month!
