Lauren & James | OceanCliff Hotel Brunch Wedding | Newport, RI

Weddings

Congratulations, Lauren and James! Their intimate morning OceanCliff Hotel brunch wedding was simply stunning. Lauren and James envisioned a wedding day that was more like a casual get together with their family and friends. That’s exactly what they had. They planned an elegant brunch wedding that kicked off early in the morning. Because of the early wedding time, they actually had the chance to have a tented celebration in a space usually reserved for rehearsal dinners. We loved the chance to experience this venue in a whole new way. It gave their entire day a unique feel in a very popular space. We loved capturing their brunch wedding at one of our favorite Newport RI wedding venues! 

OceanCliff Hotel Weddings

If you’re looking for a waterfront wedding day with the feeling of a classic and historic estate, OceanCliff is your dream venue! This location has one of the best views in all of Newport. Not to mention, the ballroom gives you an almost 180 degree view of the ocean. We love that you get such a unique backdrop for your wedding day while still keeping that ocean view this area is known for. 

A Tip for Our Couples…

When you’ve found the perfect venue for your wedding day, talk with the staff about options that could save you money. Usually that means you’d have your celebration earlier in the day or on a non-weekend day of the week, but these money saving options can provide unique opportunities, like Lauren and James found! Sometimes these one-of-a-kind celebrations can really make you feel like a popular spot is all your own. As an added bonus, if you wind up planning a morning wedding, your celebration can truly be ALL day, instead of just a few hours in the evening!

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.
