What an epic adventure it was joining Jen and John's for their three-day celebration in Newport, RI. It was a destination wedding for everyone involved, kicking-off with a good ol' fashioned clam bake rehearsal dinner, followed by the wedding day at Belle Mer and then brunch on the seas in a beautiful sailboat.
It was so wonderful to see all of the guests enjoy a three-day escape from reality to celebrate the lovely couple. The clam bake rehearsal dinner on the coast was filled with so many special moments between the couple and the guests. There aren’t words to describe the beauty of the wedding day itself. And with the wind in our hair and endless views to take in, brunch on the sea was the perfect ending to this dreamy weekend. The entire weekend was filled with experiences I will never forget, and I’m sure the wedding guests would agree.
I am still so in love with their spectacular #chanautical theme. It was timeless and modern with all the charm of the local Newport vibe. The thoughtful planning and details of Jen and John’s special day was unmatched. From the customized umbrellas, which never got their moment to shine, to the map of Goat Island that doubled as a stylish photo backdrop, they combined all the best elements of the nautical and classical styles and it was magical.
They are so loved by their family and friends and it’s easy to see why. Jen and John’s day was filled with so much joy and laughter. They undoubtedly make each other extraordinarily happy and anyone could see it. Their smiles are contagious. I love these two and wish I could go back in time to re-live every moment! This destination wedding was such a dream. I will never forget those joyous moments.
