Heather & Austin’s classic Newport, RI wedding day was a coastal Rhode Island dream! A ceremony at Saint Mary’s, followed by a trolley ride for portraits on Ocean Drive, and an amazing dance party back at the Bohlin!

It was a perfect summer night for family photos at Barrington Beach. This little one was all smiles at the beach, having fun playing in the sand, waving at me, and even dipped her toes in the water for the first time.

This family session at the The Dunes Club in Narragansett was an instant favorite! There was such a gorgeous glow during golden hour on this summer evening, which was perfect for capturing this playful crew. I absolutely loved the seagulls scattered on the beach in the background!

I loved witnessing this happy couple soak in every moment of their Newport wedding with big smiles and a few happy tears, too. Pops of bright color from the beautiful florals mixed in with their classic wedding style created such an elegant yet fun vibe in their photos!

For this session, my friend Maria was inspired to capture her daughter’s love for bubbles and playing wiffle ball during this particular summer. We also explored their garden, played on the porch, roasted s’mores and let her little girl run free in the yard. It was so much fun and felt more like a playdate than a photoshoot!

We were lucky enough to have one of the prettiest sunsets of the summer on the evening of these family photos in Newport, RI. We started out with a glowing golden hour and by the end of the session, the sky put on a show of ever-changing colors. This little boy was all smiles and ready to be the star of the show!

Shannan & Alex’s intimate Ocean House wedding day is perfect inspiration for those who dream of a small yet elegant Rhode Island wedding.

I love the details of her tiny hands and feet, and the way she cuddles up with her parents. Her nursery was beautiful and I loved the soft pink details that carry throughout the photos.

As a Rhode Island wedding photographer who has photographed stunning weddings all over New England, this is my selection of some of the best Rhode Island wedding venues for a classic & coastal vibe.

Catherine & Kevin’s dream Newport wedding day on the water was stunning from start to finish. Elegant details accented each and every part of their Newport wedding day. Before officially joining the party, they snuck away on a private yacht and exchanged personal vows while out on the water (and continually waved back at all of the boats passing by cheering for them!).
