I thought I had been to all of the charming little beaches Rhode Island had to offer over the last 7+ years of living here – and then I went to Bailey’s Beach Club (aka Spouting Rock Beach) for Nina + Dave’s wedding…and the whole game changed. No wonder this is a private club – it is stunning! Everything about this wedding was just so perfect.
Our day started with the ladies getting ready just up the road off Ocean Drive with one of our favorite beauty teams – Allison Barbera Beauty. Nina is a talented jewelry designer (check our her shop Nina Ames – here!) so most of the jewelry that the bridesmaids + bride made were custom pieces. Meanwhile, just down the street at Newport Country Club, Dave and his groomsmen (and Best Woman – his sister Danielle) prepared for the ceremony.
The ceremony was during that sweet time in the afternoon just before sunset – which was SO dreamy. We shot portraits right through sunset, making for an absolutely gorgeous backdrop as the colors of the sky popped off the water. We loved the soft pink tones and pastels that Nina + Dave chose for their wedding colors, it almost felt like the sunset was in perfect sync with us!
The day flowed effortlessly, thanks to Victoria + her team at Everlasting Affairs. (if you’re looking for a wedding planner local to RI/MA/CT – I would highly suggest them!). One of our favorite details was the speciality cocktail that the couple created – a Del’s Lemonade cocktail! Is it even a RI wedding if there isn’t Del’s Lemonade?!
The night finished off with a sparkler exit, one last kiss, and driving off in an antique Rolls Royce. Touche, you two! ;)
Congratulations, Nina + Dave!
