Lili and Matt held a lovely intimate wedding at the Chapel by the Sea in Colt State Park. Despite a brief rain shower, the happiness and love between the couple shone brightly on their special day in Bristol, RI. Family and friends collaborated to create a beautiful ceremony in the park for the newlyweds. Lili and Matt exchanged vows at the Chapel by the Sea, surrounded by a stunning arbor adorned with white and burgundy flowers that contrasted beautifully with the lush greenery. Following the ceremony, we captured their newlywed portraits throughout the park, creatively incorporating umbrellas and shelter when the rain arrived. It was a delightful challenge!
The evening concluded with a joyful celebration at Jacky’s Galaxie, a local restaurant in Bristol, where Lili and Matt savored a delicious meal and danced the night away with their loved ones in an intimate setting. It was a perfect conclusion to their small and exquisite wedding! Congratulations, Lili and Matt. We are thrilled for you!
