It seems only right that I start this blog with one of my absolute FAVORITE wedding venues, Castle Hill Inn at Newport Rhode Island.

I have grown so much as a photographer since 2015 (its a little nerve wracking to go back this far into the vault!) – but there’s no denying how incredibly stunning this oceanside venue truly is with it’s luxurious space and romantic feel.

At Claire and Justin’s wedding I was assisting Lindsey Rae Photography, I remember the day vividly. Although it was October, there was still a warm summer breeze coming off the ocean. Claire was preparing while gazing out at the grounds of her reception in a spacious suite, Justin relaxed with his groomsmen on the third floor terret with panoramic views of Narragansett Bay. Both were SO excited, eager to just be together again. Claire was glowing as the sun dazzled and Justin looked smitten to be by her side. The day unfolded seamlessly.
