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.

Why a Late Night Food Truck is the Ultimate Wedding Surprise

Pat + Nicole

Not only is a late night food truck a fun wedding surprise, but it’s also a thoughtful way to keep the celebration going. Whether it’s burgers, tacos, wieners, pizza, ice cream, or your favorite comfort food, serving a late night snack gives everyone a chance to refuel before heading back to the dance floor.

A food cart also adds so much personality to your wedding day. It’s a chance to incorporate your favorite local vendor, share a food you love as a couple, or simply create an experience your guests won’t expect.

From a photography perspective, food carts create a relaxed, candid atmosphere that leads to some of the sweetest photos. Whether you’re sharing a late night bite together, laughing with friends in line, or grabbing one last snack before the night ends, these moments are authentic and full of joy.

If you’re looking for a reception idea that’s equal parts practical, memorable, and photogenic, a late night food cart is hard to beat. It’s a small detail that leaves a lasting impression. After the wedding, your guests (and photo gallery) will thank you for it.
