From their casual backyard rehearsal dinner at a friend’s house to their Regatta Place nuptials, Alli + Nick exuded absolute joy. As Bristol RI natives, Newport made a great destination for all their friends traveling from CA + the East Bay. Regatta Place was the perfect waterfront backdrop for this wedding as well as choosing to have a RI Lobster Boil. It is a quintessential summer experience that captures the spirit of coastal living. RI Lobster Boils are a true embodiment of summer on the coast, a cherished tradition that captures the essence of this vibrant and picturesque state. They had so many other cool touches as well like Nick arriving with his guys via a boat + Alli sporting some Stevie Nicks sleeves at the end of the reception but really these two could make a party anywhere. I am still waiting for my invitation to a CA wine tour with them [hint, hint] They are just that type of fun-loving down-to-earth people that create this atmosphere of excitement + enjoyment. Their dance floor was jumping + the love throughout the entire day was palpable. here is their wedding story
what an absolutely beautiful June day we had for this intimate wedding at shelter harbor inn in westerly ri. well, beautiful but also blazing hot. we headed out to the beach at high noon with the blaring sun but who cares because the way these two looked at each other…eh gads I would sweat + go blind all over again to document it. Megan just oozes this confidence, beauty, grace, + style. hello, do you see her mix-matched earrings, those shoes, + clutch…HELL YES!! + don’t even get me started on Jonathan + his easy-going sweet demeanor. Their vows! The honey walnut feeding ceremony!! Megan’s dad performing the ceremony!!! HELL YES!!!! Having 3Gregg’s cakes… makes me want to swear I love it so much! Oh wait, I guess I already did. You get the point + I know y’all are here for the images + not for my writing eloquence [no AI for this post obviously] so without further adieu here is their wedding story.
June is the perfect month for a Rhode Island wedding, as the weather starts to warm up, and nature displays its full beauty. I had the pleasure of capturing this stunning June wedding in Rhode Island at Fort Getty in Jamestown. The couple chose a picturesque waterfront venue, where the gentle breeze and the sound of nature provided a romantic backdrop. The bride looked radiant and the groom couldn't hide his excitement as he awaited his bride's arrival. Surrounded by their loved ones, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows under a sunflower-adorned arbor. From the joyful laughter during the outdoor cocktail hour to the heartfelt speeches during the reception, it was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The golden hour provided a breathtaking backdrop for the couple's romantic portraits, as the sky was painted hues of dark blue with dramatic storm clouds. As the night drew to a close, the dance floor was filled with energy and celebration, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Overall, this June wedding in Rhode Island was a testament to the beauty of love and the magic that can happen when nature and romance intertwine. Here is their wedding story.
