Now on to our second wedding held in Newport, RI – all in the same weekend! Michelle and Scott are going to look familiar as well since we posted about their engagement session just a couple of months ago!
Michelle and Scott have been telling us for months about all of the very cool features of their wedding and it’s been torture waiting for their day to finally arrive! Their ceremony and their reception were held at the breathtaking Belle Mer in Newport, RI. We have a lot of images to share from their wedding, because to be honest… TELLING you about how beautiful everything is just won’t do any of it justice!
Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? With some great getting ready photos… Michelle and Scott book rooms at two local inns in Newport, RI to get ready and they were literally just a couple of houses away from each other the entire time! Here’s Scott putting the finishing touches on his outfit:
Scott helping his best man with that tie. One unique detail from their wedding? Scott’s best man was his dad!
Another VERY cool and unique detail was Michelle’s stunning gown. And it was pink!!! It was so beautiful, fitted through the bodice and dotted with hand sewn flower details. It was just absolutely amazing. And it was pink!!
Michelle and Scott wanted to see each other before the start of the ceremony and also have a private portrait session by themselves as well as with their wedding party. We would take their family portraits after the ceremony, but they wanted a little extra time by themselves and with their closest friends in the wedding party so we all headed over to Belle Mer for a little bit of fun. For some privacy, we had Michelle and Scott’s session in the gorgeous bridal suite above the ballroom. It was absolutely perfect! Here are just a couple of our favorites:
This was Rene’s first time seeing Michelle’s dress, too, and understandably he couldn’t wait to take a few details of his own!
Soon it was time to get ready for the ceremony and the men made their way down to the ceremony location on the back lawn of Belle Mer. While Michelle and her girls spent a few last quiet moments in the bridal suite. It was just such a beautiful, peaceful way to soak it all in!

Meanwhile, Scott and his dad enjoyed that time before the ceremony in their own way… playing baseball!
The ceremony itself was just gorgeous. Their closest friends had gathered with the most breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Newport bridge and everyone was there to celebrate Michelle and Scott’s wedding.

After the ceremony we headed to the edge of the lawn overlooking the ocean for some family portraits and we couldn’t resist a few more of Michelle and Scott, too:
The reception began and the timing was just perfect as Michelle and Scott enjoyed their first dance against a spectacular sunset:
Another cool detail from their wedding? The outdoor fire pit where some of their guests could enjoy the warm summer evening and enjoy a chat:
Michelle and Scott have worked so hard to organize a beautiful and personal event that all of the friends and family could enjoy with them. I know it had to be so much work, but it was completely worth it and made for a day that they’ll never forget!
