It was one of those perfect March days at Oceancliff Resort and Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island.  The kind of day with blue skies hinting at the warm days to come and the brisk wind of the winter that has passed. Downtown Newport was bustling with tourists wishing for spring and Missy and Jamie were getting married!  Oceancliff proved to be the perfect backdrop for Missy & Jamie’s vintage hollywood inspired wedding.  As a young girl Missy and her sister were fascinated by their grandmother’s antique hatpin collection.  Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to travel to the wedding, Missy wanted to incorporate some of these hatpins into her bouquet and the wedding theme then blossomed. The reception area at Oceancliff was transformed from their usual set up.  Instead it was cut in half – one side a fine dining room and the other a dance floor and lounge area.  The room was littered with mercury glass, candles and gorgeous flower arrangements by Toni Chandler (who stayed all night making sure the hydrangeas kept drinking!).  From the first look to the last dance Missy and Jamie were a wonderful reminder of why we love photography.
