Elegant Newport Mansion Wedding

The Newport Mansions in Rhode Island are among our favorite venues for weddings. With their breathtaking architecture and stunning gardens, these iconic locations rank among the most beautiful wedding venues in New England. For A + J's wedding, we captured portraits at two of the Newport Mansions, including one of my personal favorites—The Elms.

Inspired by the 18th-century Château d'Asnières in France, The Elms boasts classical design, intricate details, and expansive, lush grounds. The marble hallways, crystal chandeliers, and serene gardens create a romantic ambiance that's ideal for timeless wedding photos. One of the best aspects of Newport Mansions is their beauty—they require minimal decoration, as their historic elegance speaks for itself.

Photographing weddings in Newport is always a joy. The sun-kissed gardens, complete with statues and fountains, provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor wedding portraits. Indoors, the jaw droppung rooms with lavish furnishings and woodwork make for a majestic setting. When you pair the beauty of the venue with elements like stunning florals, New England-style lobster rolls, and a raw bar, you’ve got the perfect wedding day!

Newport Mansions combine history, beauty, and elegance, making them one of our top choice for luxury wedding photography in Rhode Island. Check out some of my favorite moments from this recent Newport Mansions wedding below!
