A Colorful Fort Adams Wedding

Connor + Kayla

Fort Adams - Newport, RI

Connor and Kayla’s September wedding at Fort Adams in Newport, RI, was a vibrant and heartfelt celebration that perfectly blended personal touches with timeless elegance. The sage, light terracotta, and ivory wedding colors brought a warm and inviting feel to the historic coastal venue. Kayla created unforgettable moments by sharing a series of emotional first looks—with her bridesmaids, her father, and Connor—each filled with tears and joy. These intimate moments set the tone for a day full of love and connection.

Adding to the classic charm, the couple rented a vintage car that made for striking portraits against the scenic backdrop of Fort Adams. One of the most touching highlights was Kayla’s mid-reception outfit change into her mother’s wedding dress, thoughtfully altered and shortened to reflect her modern style while honoring family tradition. This meaningful gesture was a beautiful nod to the past and a memorable moment that perfectly captured the blend of old and new throughout their day.
