Weddings in Newport, Rhode Island

Newport, Rhode Island, is a gorgeous place to visit. The first time I ever photographed a wedding here, I was blown away by how beautiful the entire area is!

I always love coming back, and not just for work! Newport is an amazing vacation destination, and way up on my list of favorite places to travel to.

Newport is located on Aquidneck Island in Newport County. If you're traveling in from Providence, it's just a bit less than forty miles.

It's only about twenty miles south of nearby Falls River, and about an hour and a half (or even less) south of Boston, Massachusetts.
