For Ali and Ian, their journey to the altar was always destined to lead them to one special place—Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island. From the very beginning of their relationship, they knew that this beautiful property, steeped in memories and magic, would be the perfect backdrop for their wedding.

Wentworth by the SeaCountry Club Summer Wedding
The culmination of a weekend filled with love, laughter, connection, and a lifetime of memories in the making.
Stephanie and Jake’s wedding day was the epitome of classic, romantic, and timeless. The design incorporated soft linen & velvet textures, handmade paper, a cream, white and blush color palette, elegant fonts with touches of gold, and romantic draping and ribbon detail.
"From the start of the planning process to their execution on our wedding day, Lia went above and beyond to ensure our tented, seacoast wedding was exactly what we envisioned! Lia listened to what was important to us and incorporated personal details that did not go unnoticed. My husband’s love for golf, my love for guest hospitality, and design elements like frosted glass signage and heirloom matte china that looked and felt like it was graced by the salt of the sea."

Imagine being THIS happy on your wedding day!?
This is it.
This is the goal.
This is why we do what we do.
So you can be fully present — not managing, not worrying, not thinking ten steps ahead.
Just living it.
Immersed in the moment.
Surrounded by the people you love most.
Making memories you’ll carry forever.
In that once-in-a-lifetime kind of bliss.
Yes, it’s one day. But it’s a day that lives on — in your photographs, your stories, your family’s laughter, and the way you’ll remember how it felt.
A celebration of your love, your next chapter, the beginning of your little family of two (!), and the beautiful uniting of two families into one.
The meaning of this day is immeasurable, and we never take it for granted to be invited into a moment this significant. It is an honor, always, to tell your story, bring your people together, and build a space that feels like you… for one of the most monumental days of your lives.
We love our clients — truly. And we’ll never stop saying it!
