A Dreamy Newport Wedding At OceanCliff Hotel
We had the privilege of capturing Melissa and Russell’s enchanting wedding day at the OceanCliff Hotel in Newport, RI. The day began with Melissa, radiant and excited, getting ready in a luxurious suite at OceanCliff. Her beautiful gown from Alexandra’s Boutique was a work of art! It was such a joy photographing her genuine smile as she prepared for her wedding day.
Later, she made her way outside for a first look with Russell. The OceanCliff’s sprawling grounds, with elegant architecture and lush gardens, provided the perfect setting for the couple’s and bridal party portraits. The backdrop of Newport’s stunning scenery is like no other! As the sun began to set, it cast a golden glow over the cliffs. Melissa and Russell exchanged vows in the outdoor ceremony space overlooking the water. The ceremony was breathtaking, with a beautiful backdrop and heartfelt emotions, making it an absolute dream for any Newport, RI wedding photographer.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds shared a romantic dance on the cliffs, basking in the glow of the sunset. The photos are incredible! It was such a dreamy moment. The celebration then moved inside to the elegant ballroom of OceanCliff for the reception. The night was filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments, perfectly encapsulating the joy of their special day.
It was such a dream to photograph this gorgeous day. Scroll to see all of the magic of Melissa & Russel’s wedding day. M+R, thank you for having us!
