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!

When you plan a wedding by the sea you wish and hope for a beautiful day. Maybe you hang rosary beads on the clothesline or perhaps you send the intention out to the universe. Either way you want that day to be sunny and warm and that’s exactly what Jeniimarie and Peter got! The ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Hyatt Regency on Goat Island in Newport. Jeniimarie was the happiest bride with hardly any nerves. She was just so excited to marry her love and it showed in every way especially her pretty smile. Absolutely gorgeous in her strapless Allure Bridals gown and and blue kitten heels, Jeniimarie wowed everyone, especially Peter. When he saw her walk down the isle you could read the happiness in his heart on his face. The heartfelt ceremony was followed by some formal portraits on the grounds including by the lighthouse which was constructed in 1842! An indoor/outdoor cocktail hour was highlighted by a stellar sunset while guests mingled. Once inside the the party got started after a nice sit-down meal. A delightful ice cram bar added to the desert menu and guests were able to make their own sundaes! DJ Luke Renchan mixed great tunes including some Puerto Rican favorites that had everyone dancing and celebrating this beloved couple (as well as burning off those ice cream calories). It was a truly beautiful day!

Alyssa and Marc tied the knot on a beautiful summer Sunday. The Hyatt Recency in Newport was the perfect venue for their seaside themed, daytime celebration. Alyssa had been counting down the days to the wedding even before our super fun engagement session the previous spring. So when the day finally arrived she was beyond excited! A private first look eased the nerves of the bride and groom and kicked off the formals with the wedding party. Alyssa and Marc shared a unique ceremony with a surprising butterfly release that wowed guests. The little guys seemed to fancy Alyssa’s gown and some even decided to stay put for the remainder of the ceremony!  The ballroom welcomed guests with fun seaside centerpieces, a delicious meal and tunes that got the crowd up and dancing. The day was a fun filled, lighthearted celebration that we are so thankful to have been a part of. Cheers to all the future has to hold, Alyssa and Marc!
