Shruti and Ernie's two-day affair began with a welcome dinner at the Tennis Hall of Fame in downtown Newport, RI. The welcomed their guests with traditional henna and Indian cuisine.

The following day, after getting ready photos, we met on Bellevue Avenue, amongst Newport, RI's historic mansions for their first look. The bride and groom asked for wedding portraits around Newport, so we also made a stop at a scenic spot on Ocean Drive before heading to Belle Mer for more wedding photos.

Their Belle Mer wedding was full of magical moments, including an oceanside wedding ceremony and beautiful Indian wedding traditions, such as dancing while the groom rode into the ceremony on an elephant and running over a coconut in a car.

The bride changed into a breathtaking second dress for sun set photos and the reception. They danced long into the night after a perfect wedding day. This Belle Mer wedding celebration was a delight to photograph.

eva & carl

This couple's sophisticated, classic style was the perfect match to my wedding photography. From classic black and white wedding invitations to the bride's simple, classic dress and updo, to the lovely florals, each piece of this wedding was designed in perfect taste.

We started the wedding day with getting ready pictures at the Newport Marriott, just down the street. I loved the clean, neutral design of Eva's suite to set the tone for the rest of the day.

Eva and Carl's lively affair included a first look on Belle Mer's grounds. Eva's parents surprised the couple by bringing their beloved dog for a few quick wedding photos. After a beautiful and emotional first look, we took family wedding photos on the ocean lawn.

This couple opted to host both their ceremony and reception at Belle Mer, which made for the most beautiful pictures. They were married in front of their guests on the stunning property, overlooking the ocean.

From start to finish, their entire wedding day was a party. The energy on the dance floor was second to none. I've since had the pleasure of photographing more weddings for this group of friends, and the party never disappoints.
