Weddings

Congratulations, Samantha and Brian! These Providence College sweethearts came into Newport, RI for their big day and celebrated with a stunning day at Gurney’s Newport Resort. Like so many couples these days, this super sweet duo had to postpone their original celebration thanks to COVID. But they planned a day that made up for it after a long wait. Samantha and Brian decided to have their ceremony at Providence College since so much of their love story and relationship took place there. From the start, Samantha and Brian knew that they loved the bridge and the water around Gurney’s. They wanted those views in their photos, so booking this spot for their reception was a no brainer! Congratulations again Samantha and Brian! Your day was stunning.

Behind The Camera

Sara Zarrella

Owner & lead photo novelist

Nice to meet you! I’m a pint-sized (frequently caffeinated) fireball of energy, and building genuine connections is at the heart of everything I do. One of the most meaningful parts of what we do is watching our couples go from “I do” to starting families, then returning for newborn and family photography, and even branding sessions as their lives and businesses grow. Being part of every season of your story is truly the heart of what we do.
