A Timeless Coastal Wedding at Regatta Place

John + Julia

Regatta Place - Newport, RI

Looking back on John and Julia's wedding at Regatta Place reminds us why we love Newport weddings so much. Their day was the perfect mix of coastal elegance and laid back summer charm, with beautiful harbor views, sunshine, and a celebration that felt effortless from start to finish.

From portraits along the marina to a waterfront ceremony surrounded by family and friends, every part of the day reflected everything we love about photographing weddings by the coast. The soft summer light made for some of our favorite portraits, and the reception was the perfect way to end a beautiful day on the water.

One of our favorite things about this wedding was how naturally everything came together. Nothing felt overdone, the setting spoke for itself, and John and Julia were simply focused on enjoying each moment with the people they love. Those genuine interactions, paired with the beauty of the Newport waterfront, made for a gallery that feels both elegant and authentic.

Even though this wedding was last summer, it still feels just as timeless. We're so excited to share a few of our favorite moments from John and Julia's unforgettable summer wedding at Regatta Place.
