Newport, RI Engagement Sessions at Ochre Court and Cliff Walk

I love shooting weddings and engagement sessions in Newport in the colder months! Obviously Newport is a fantastic seaside wedding destination in the summer, but colder seasons give me the opportunity to use the fantastic architecture and history of Newport RI more. Ochre court is on the Cliff Walk and right off Bellevue Avenue, so it’s convenient to lots of fantastic additional photo-worthy vistas. Within walking distance you can take advantage of beautifully landscaped gardens, cliffs stretching high over the ocean, winding stone pathways, then of course the stunning building and stone terrace at Ochre Court. It is possible to get inside of the building as well, but it requires advanced planning and permission from Salve Regina (the university that owns Ochre Court)’s permission. I can’t tell you how many past clients assume they will be able to pop into any of the Newport mansions for their sessions!

I loved this client’s funky sparkly dress and her fur coats! Such a fun and different choice of attire, and also perfect for Ochre Court, like a nod to Newport’s long black tie history!

It was freezing out, but these two didn't flinch! Their charisma and natural laughter made posing a breeze, I barely had to do anything!
