Sharon and Ben’s Wedding at Astors’ Beechwood in Newport, RI
Our second Newport wedding this year – both at Astors’ Beechwood – both great and completely different!
Sharon and Ben got ready at the The Carriage House Inn with family and friends:

The ceremony was at St. Mary’s in Bristol, RI.

We did the first part of the bridal party shots on Ocean Drive. This is a favorite cove of mine that I’ve noticed a million times and never shot at! What good sports to go out on the rocks!
I love the bare feet:
