Lauren and Mason get married: The Bohlin: Newport, Rhode Island
I first met Lauren and Mason at their engagement session this past summer, from the moment I met them I knew they were going to be so much fun to work with. They were just so natural together and laid back and up for pretty much anything.
The day of their wedding, I met Lauren and her bridesmaid where they were getting ready, at the Viking Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. Lauren was so calm and all smiles, soaking it all in as the girls had their hair and make-up done. While we had been planning on doing a first look for quite some time, and tossed around different location ideas, ultimately Lauren and Mason left it up to me to choose their first look location. I am so grateful for their trust as I am certain we chose the most perfect location based on the weather and more importantly ‘light’ that day. Just a short a short trolley ride from the hotel we met Mason for their first look. It was absolutely perfect. We strolled around the streets and found quinitessentional Newport architecture and charm to compliment their timeless style. Then it was off to the ceremony. The ceremony was held at Kay Chapel, a quaint historic chapel that is now part of the Viking Hotel. After Lauren and Mason exchanged their vows in front of their family and friends, it was off the to celebrate at The Bohlin. Lauren and Mason joined the seaside cocktail hour as guests enjoyed perfect Newport views, warm breezes and quintessential new england food fare, such as lobster rolls, shrimp and DEL’S lemonade, a Rhode Island favorite. As the sun began to dip behind the Newport Bridge, I knew we had to take full advantage of sun the drenched pier. The Bohlin ( formerly the Newport Yachting Center) gets some of the most dramatic and downright breathtaking sunset in Rhode Island. Luckily, Lauren and Mason were both up for more photos. After a romantic stroll on the docks at dusk, they were back to enjoy dinner and lots of dancing for an unforgettable evening.
Lauren and Mason, thank you fo trusting me to capture your most perfect day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together.
