Congratulations to Chase and Ryan! Earlier this year, the couple celebrated their love with a stunning coastal-inspired wedding at Blithewold Mansion. Their special day captured the essence of classic New England charm, and we were thrilled to be part of it. Chase and Ryan, who met while working at Blackstone Catering, have seen countless weddings across Rhode Island. Choosing Blithewold Mansion as their venue was an easy decision, as it had always been a favorite of theirs. With breathtaking views of Narragansett Bay, the venue perfectly matched their coastal vision and made their wedding dreams a reality.

For their attire, Chase and Ryan opted for timeless, elegant looks. Chase wore her sister’s wedding veil (such a lovely touch!), while Ryan looked dapper in a white dinner jacket. The bridesmaids added to the day’s coastal palette with blue and white gowns, enhancing the overall theme. The ceremony took place on the mansion’s lawn, followed by a tented reception adorned with classic blue and white details. It was a magical evening celebrating Chase and Ryan!

Why We Love Blithewold Mansion Weddings

Blithewold Mansion offers a perfect combination of historical elegance and natural beauty, making it a dream venue for New England couples. Its stunning view of Narragansett Bay and the option for garden ceremonies and tented receptions allow couples to experience the best of both worlds.

A Tip for Our Couples…

Summer weddings in Rhode Island are beautiful, but the heat can be a challenge! If your ceremony is outdoors, consider providing simple white parasols for your guests or bridal party. They not only offer shade but also add an elegant touch. We also recommend visiting your ceremony site around the time of your wedding to get a sense of the weather and plan accordingly just like Chase and Ryan did!

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.
