“It was a dark and stormy night…” in Newport last Sunday for Robyn and Brian’s elegant wedding at The Astors’ Beechwood mansion…and actually the fog rolling in off the Atlantic added a lot of intimacy and atmosphere to the event.

Robyn and Brian had smiles on their faces throughout the entire day–so nice to see. While Robyn got ready at The Harborside Inn (where the classic restaurant Christie’s used to be), Brian got ready at the Pearls of Newport, just off Thames Street. Then we were off for a bridal party photo shoot around Newport—including stops at Castle Hill Inn, Ocean Avenue (for on-the-rocks pics), and the Elms mansion—before heading to Astors’ Beechwood for the ceremony and reception.

Russell Morin Fine Catering catered their wedding in great style. The ballroom tables were named for famous beaches with special significance to Robyn and Brian–including some of our favorites such as Elbow Beach in Bermuda and Menemsha Beach on Martha’s Vineyard.

Robyn and Brian, thank you very much for having us photograph your wedding!
