Weddings

Victoria and Erik have tied the knot! To commemorate their union, the newlyweds orchestrated a magnificent fall Newport Harbor Island Resort wedding, complemented by a traditional Catholic ceremony in Newport, RI. From Victoria’s timeless lace-adorned wedding attire to the opulent reception adorned with ivory blooms, every detail exuded grandeur and elegance. Adding to the enchantment, they chose the picturesque Elms mansion as the backdrop for their portraits, captivated by its grounds and elegance.

A standout feature of Victoria and Erik’s special day was Victoria’s gown. It epitomized the essence of a classic bride with its lace long-sleeved bodice. With a sophisticated ponytail, she showcased the gown’s intricate back, transitioning into a stylish draped ensemble for the reception—a delightful and stunning transformation.

Congratulations once again to Victoria and Erik! Your fall wedding day was truly breathtaking, and we couldn’t be happier for both of you.
