Elizabeth + Andrew: Classic & Romantic Winter Oceancliff Wedding, Newport RI

Although we are SO CLOSE to spring, and I’m sure absolutely everyone is ready to not be bundled up and breathing in cold air anymore – I could not let this winter season slip totally away without sharing this wonderland wedding from last December!! One downside of being so behind with blogging is the fact that I am sharing images from colder months, BUTTTT I promise, it is worth it!! Once you see all of the gorgeous and cozy details, you just may be longing for snuggly cold weather for just a little bit longer ;)

Liz and Andrew were a total dream to work with, and I am continuously thankful for couples like them that come bouncing into my world. I first met them at Christie + Bill’s wedding in 2017 (see that HERE) when Liz was a bridesmaid. She was such a fun ray of light on C+B’s day, as she helped Christie navigate the excitement! I clearly remember photographing her and Andrew on the dance floor, and thinking that the two lovebirds were not far behind to hop on the fiancé train :) Needless to say…I was SO excited a few months later when I received an enthusiastic call from Liz the very next morning after Andrews proposal!

The two decided a winter wedding in Newport would be perfect to bring together both families and celebrate the occasion. Amidst all of the planning excitement, at the core of it all was just the simple reality of having ALL of their loved ones together in one place, and Andrew’s family to experience the quaint New England corner of the world that Liz grew up in. Oceancliff was the perfect venue to showcase Newport and it’s stunner views – ESPECIALLY when you go all ‘pro’ status and plan your ceremony around the PERFECT sunset backdrop! (Seriously, just WAIT until you see the photos!). With a rehearsal dinner at Clarke Cooke House and a few wedding day couples portraits out near Castle Hill, these two really embodied a classic, elegant Newport wedding weekend.

Liz and Andrew, your day was so full of love, laughter, happy tears, and blissful hearts. It’s been such a warm and fuzzy feeling getting to know you and being with you on your big day to celebrate your love. You two are perfect!! Wishing you all the love and laughter a lifetime can bring.
