Earlier this month we had the absolute pleasure to document Heather & Chris’s intimate wedding at the beautiful Eisenhower House in Newport Rhode Island. Heather & Chris’s wedding ended up being on a cold, cloudy day but it made for some incredible photos! One thing we always tell brides is that as long as it’s not downpouring we’ll be good! Even if it is, as long as they’re up for it, we’ll go outside and take some incredible rain photos! Luckily, the rain held off and Heather & Chris were able to celebrate their day without worrying about anything! We’re so thankful for our couple’s who have a laid-back attitude and plan their wedding day with zero stress. Even if Heather was stressed, it sure didn’t seem it. She and Chris were the most welcoming, kind-hearted people we’ve ever met. We’re beyond thankful for them, their family and their incredible friends! Heather’s dad even mentioned us during his speech for saving Heather’s dress on the day of from getting attacked by a big pitbull (we ran in front and protected it at all costs). I cannot wait to share a sneak peek of theirs from the incredible day!

Last week, we had a blast documenting Olivia & Andrew’s wedding day at Newport Vineyards. It was a warm, beautiful summer day and honestly, everything turned out perfectly for these two and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We had the opportunity to not only photograph the next chapter for Olivia & Andrew but also to film their entire day. We cannot wait to show you the highlight film that’ll be out soon! For now, we hope you all enjoy this sneak peek into their beautiful day…

Planning a wedding is hard work. Now imagine doing it across the country 3,000 miles away. That’s what Megan & Robbie had to do. Plan a Newport wedding while live and work across the country in CA. Luckily they had their incredible parents to rely on to help find vendors, choose last-minute details and more. We were so happy that Megan’s mom, Wendy contacted us. It feels like just yesterday when we were all meeting at the Starbucks in Newport in December of 2018. Gosh! I can’t believe it’s been a year and we’re here already.

Megan & Robbie celebrated at the incredible Newport Vineyards, surrounded by their closest family and friends. We got to experience their weekend first hand. Wendy invited us to their rehearsal dinner hosted at their amazing Newport home, and we were quickly welcomed in like family. After getting to know Megan, Wendy, Robbie and Gordon over the past year we felt so connected to this group of people that when it came time to actually photograph them all, it was like photographing our best friends we’ve known our whole life.

I cannot wait to share this sneak peek with you. From Megan’s getting ready and Wendy crying to Wendy’s speech and me balling my eyes out (not pictured haha)…this wedding was filled with tears, love, and happiness. We’re so excited to share a sneak peek into their special day.

Congratulations Megan & Robbie

Everyone knows that our absolute favorite venue to head to is Newport Vineyards. And no, it’s not because their wine is ABSOLUTELY our favoriter (we’re actually having their wine exclusively at our wedding) but it’s because of the incredible team, paired with the absolutely gorgeous vineyard views. You feel like you’re up in the mountains in Southern California yet you’re seconds from Newport Beach. I am so excited to share with you Alisa & Andrea’s day and our first wedding at the vineyard for 2018! We had an absolute incredible time with them and their insanely funny wedding party. In all seriousness, I don’t think I’ve laughed and had this much fun at a wedding in AWHILE! These guys seriously knew how to throw a party. Pooping faces included ;)

It’s not everyday we get to go into a full on navy base to photograph a wedding but if there was a spot for that to happen, it would obviously be in Newport, RI. Samantha & Mike’s wedding was absolutely stunning last month at The Newport Officers Club. The rain held off for a day and gave us a beautiful backdrop of the Newport Bridge and an incredible reception. We’re so excited to share a couple of sneak peeks while we get to work on the rest of their gallery!

Here it is! The first “official” wedding of 2019. However, Heather and Chris did things totally different for their day and instead of throwing a big, huge extravagant wedding, they threw an incredible intimate dinner party with their closest friends and family. If we’re being honest, that’s some of our favorite days to photograph. We had an incredible night with these two and cannot thank them enough for allowing us to photograph such an important day.

When we get contacted to photograph an elopement, we get so excited. It combines all the things we love about a wedding in a more intimate setting with just a handful of the couple’s closest family and friends. While we’ve only done a couple of these, they’re turning out to be some of our favorites to photograph.

Allie & Dan’s love story is remarkable. They met while in León, Nicaragua in early 2014. . Allie was staying on a friend’s couch in a house where Dan sometimes used the refrigerator (it’s a long story). Soon after meeting, they began finding any opportunity to see each other. Both spending their days volunteering, they passed weekends traveling on hot, crowded buses to meet up at the beach, climb volcanoes, cycle on dirt roads, and talk for hours over tostones con queso.

Three short months after meeting, they parted ways in Nicaragua, not sure of what the future held but certain they would remain in one another’s lives. While Allie finished university in Boston and Dan pursued his qualifications in rock climbing in England, little by little they met each other’s worlds through visits with family and loved ones. It wasn’t all tearful Skype calls, though of those there were some — they continued to find adventures wherever life took them, whether to the southwest coast of England, Boston’s culture-clashing Freedom Trail, or the highest peak in the rainforests of Rwanda. 

After two years of long distance, they found that new and more long-term opportunities in Nicaragua were calling them back to the place where they first met. Dan set to work starting a sustainable adventure tour company and photography business, and Allie worked for a cooperative loan fund.

But most importantly, they were able to start a life and build a community together. Over those two years they welcomed family and friends to visit our home in León, and made so many more. They decided to spend the rest of our lives together after taking a look into their future and agreeing that they couldn’t imagine it any other way but learning and growing by each others’ sides. 

Allie & Dan tied the knot at a local park in Narragansett, RI. Although it was POURING out, they braved the weather and made it such an incredibly fun time. Nothing stopped these two. They ditched the umbrellas and even took a dip in the pool. We are SO HONORED to have captured their love story and this next chapter in their lives.

Aubrey & Luke's wedding was absolutely fantastic. Set in the absolutely stunning Newport Vineyards (and maybe one of our favorite venues) we couldn't have asked for a better couple, venue, and wedding day! The weather was a blazing 95 degrees, the sun was out and you know what? I was just happy it didn't rain! I had so much fun getting to know these two over the past year. I remember when we photographed their Lovebird session at 5am in Newport. Seeing them smiling all day from ear to ear and really taking in every single moment was one of my favorite parts of the day. We walked away with some amazing images and in all honestly, there's so much more I wanted to show off! But for now we have a little sneak peek into their vineyard wedding below. I hope you all enjoy :)

Meet: Aubrey & Luke
