Newport Nuptials: Where It All Began :  wedding newport pictures pro pics recap 15 1

My absolute favorite photos from the day were our college campus pictures. One of our wedding requirements was having photos taken at Salve. We chose to get married in Newport because of all of our history there. We really wanted to make the college photos happen. We paid $150 to reserve the site and it was well worth it.

We got to take photos at our campus admissions building. The building has special meaning for us since it was where many campus events are hosted, including the Halloween Dance which was one of the first times we went out together. We didn’t even dance together at it. But, we did have our first dance there a few months later at the Winter Sno-Ball, the school’s semi-formal.

The admissions building has amazing architecture.

The building is right on the cliffwalk and has gorgeous ocean views.

There were multiple photo options between the gorgeous mansion, the sprawling lawn, the ocean views and the campus’ beautiful trees.

It was the perfect place for photos because there were so many locations within one area.

Mr. Starfish and I wanted to make sure we had the opportunity to get lots of photos of just the two of us. I’m a bit camera shy, especially when others are around, so we asked our second shooter to take photos of the wedding party, while we were off with the photographer and videographer. We kind of just walked around the mansion grounds and took photos.

These are beautiful! No wonder you paid to reserve the space!

We’re taking pictures on the beach in our hometown… the location of many high school dates, bbqs with our friends, and romantic walks!

I wish we had some nice outdoors places for pics, but there are powerlines very close to the church that would likely be in most pics, and the outside of our reception venue.. well, leaves something to be desired. sad face. But the interior of the reception hall has an awesome staircase and huge chandelier that should work.

Oops–”unfurling” that is. This is what happens when you try to quickly read and comment on wedding bee posts while at work.

The swirling, twirling pics at the end are sooooo much fun! I HAD to show these to Mr. PaC since he’s been on the cliffwalk (way back in ‘07 for a sailing trip)
