Congratulations Natalie and Ryan! They’re officially husband and wife after their summer Bohlin wedding day in Newport, RI. Natalie and Ryan’s Newport wedding day was elegant, with a light color palette and included many of their favorite things: the ocean, their dogs, and basketball! Their day began with a first touch and letter exchange for Natalie and Ryan. They saw each other for the first time during their church ceremony – and it was so special for them! Afterwards, we headed to the Bohlin for their portraits and reception. We had a blast with Natalie and Ryan, exploring the waterfront of Newport and finding the perfect spots around town for their portraits before heading to the Bohlin. They ended the night with their tented wedding reception, so they could continue to enjoy the ocean air all night long. It was an absolute blast celebrating with their friends and family. You could just feel the love in the tent!! Congrats again, Natalie and Ryan. We’re so happy for you!
The Bohlin Weddings
The Bohlin provides a stunning location for Newport, RI weddings with a nod to the nautical history of Newport itself. With harbor views that are second to none, the reception space for Bohlin wedding days is simply a dream! We love how easily the Bohlin allows for elegant or more casual events and feel it’s a space that can be easily customized for you. It’s one of our favorite spots in Newport, RI to see our couples tie the knot and celebrate. So if you’re looking for unparalleled views of the water, definitely don’t miss The Bohlin!
A Tip for Our Couples
We LOVE when our couples bring their interests, personalities, and unique tastes to their wedding day. It sounds cliche, but it’s the truth! Natalie and Ryan love their dogs and basketball, so it was important to them to include both in their celebration. It was fun to capture them with their pups and to watch them play a little pickup during their portraits. Those moments are what wedding days are all about – celebrating what makes you special, and what makes your relationship special. So, while you’re planning your wedding day, make sure to include something that makes you both smile – whether it’s a special food, your favorite sport, or your fur babies!
