Weddings

Mariah and Patrick’s wedding day was the perfect blend of elegance and fun, celebrated at the Wyndham Newport Hotel, in Newport RI on a rainy fall Saturday. Their vision was clear: a classic yet lively celebration, and they brought it to life beautifully. With a color palette of sage green, pale pink, and ivory accents, they set the stage for a romantic yet playful atmosphere. Every detail reflected Mariah and Patrick’s desire to keep the mood joyful and full of surprises.

Before heading to the Wyndham for their ceremony, Mariah, Patrick, and their bridal party stopped by The Elms in Newport, Rhode Island. We love when couples take portraits at one of Newport’s stunning and historic locations. It’s a beautiful way to add charm and character to their wedding day.

The ceremony was held inside the hotel due to the weather. But it was beautiful and romantic, bringing Mariah and Patrick together alongside their loved ones. One of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony was a heartfelt gift from Mariah’s aunt—a keepsake jewelry piece featuring a photo of Mariah’s late father, whom she lost earlier that year. The piece was wrapped around her bouquet, allowing her father to “walk her down the aisle” in spirit.

The rest of the night was spent celebrating under twinkling lights in the ballroom at the Wyndham Newport Hotel. Mariah and Patrick kept the energy high with fun heart-shaped sunglasses and danced the night away with their guests!

A Tip for Our Couples…

New England weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always important to have a backup plan for your wedding day. While we can almost always capture stunning outdoor shots, don’t let the thought of rain or overcast skies dampen your mood.

In fact, cloudy weather often leads to some of the best photos! The soft light and cloud cover reduce harsh shadows, and you won’t have to worry about squinting in bright sunlight. So, don’t stress if the forecast isn’t perfect—sometimes, the most unexpected weather creates the most magical moments!
