Cassidy and Justin’s wedding at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island, was nothing short of breathtaking. From the gorgeous ocean views to the elegant architecture and lush gardens, every detail of this venue felt timeless and intimate as if it were made just for them.


I had the honor of second shooting this wedding for the incredibly talented Steph Wahlig, and it was such a joy to help capture the beauty and emotion of the day. The Chanler offered the perfect backdrop for every moment, from soft, golden light during portraits to the stunning coastal views that added an extra layer of magic to the ceremony.


One of the most moving parts of the day came during the ceremony, when planes were arranged and flew overhead as a tribute to Cassidy’s late father, who had owned a plane museum. It was such a powerful, emotional moment. Both a beautiful surprise for guests and a heartfelt way to honor his memory.


The staff at The Chanler was equally amazing. warm, professional, and so attentive. They kept the day flowing smoothly and helped create an experience that felt luxurious yet relaxed for everyone involved.


It was truly a joy to be part of this day, and I’m so grateful to Steph for inviting me to shoot alongside her. Witnessing a love like Cassidy and Justin’s, in a place as stunning as Newport, was something I’ll always remember.
