Abby and Ryan started their Newport Rhode Island wedding day off at their venue New York Yacht Club. Abby got ready with all her girls around her, enjoying mimosa after mimosa and little snacks throughout the morning. We showed up early to look around the property and how amazing it was! The yacht club had an ivy covered building that looked like it came straight out of Europe. The gardens mirrored that old world look with the sweetest master gardener who took us on a tour of their greenhouses.
We then drove out about an hour away to Ryan’s hometown to watch A&R get married in a Maronite Catholic church. The priest explained a little bit behind the Maronite branch of the Catholic church and how they not only practice the western tradition of exchanging rings but also practice the eastern tradition of crowning. It was so beautiful and now I have on my bucket list to photograph another crowning ceremony in the East!
We all made our way back to Newport for the reception that was ocean front with a beautiful sailcloth tent hung above us. Delicate details were made by the awesome team at Exquisite Events and lovely florals throughout the day were by Stoneblossom. Check out all of A&R’s vendors below.
Also, Abby and her veil were show stoppers! So lovely!
