Step into the world of timeless elegance as we delve into the unforgettable wedding celebration of Katie and Eric at the exquisite Belle Mer Island House in Newport, Rhode Island. From picturesque waterfront vistas to heartfelt moments shared with loved ones, this classic affair was a true testament to the power of love and celebration.

We had the pleasure of witnessing every moment, from the fun and intimate preparation stages to the epic dance party that rocked the night away. Let us take you on a journey through this remarkable event, where every detail and emotion melded seamlessly together.


Katie and Eric began their wedding day in separate locations, with the bride getting ready at her parents' house, perfectly positioned along the glistening Newport waterfront. The groom and his groomsmen got ready at the Wyndham Hotel.


After exchanging heartfelt letters they had written to each other during the early stages of wedding planning, Katie and Eric shared a special first look outside. The stunning Belle Mer Island House provided a breathtaking backdrop for the bridal party and family photos.


Nestled beside the Island House, Katie and Eric's outdoor ceremony was a sight to behold. Surrounded by loved ones, they exchanged vows and heartfelt promises, symbolizing the beginning of their journey as husband and wife. The presence of an adorable ring bearer added a touch of sweet charm to the event, making it a truly heartwarming moment. Both Katie and Eric's mothers had the honor of delivering readings during the ceremony, adding an extra layer of warmth and significance to the occasion.


With enthusiastic cheers and applause, Katie and Eric were pronounced husband and wife. Their infectious joy was palpable, as Katie exclaimed "woohoo" and they sealed their marriage with a kiss.


The lawn of Belle Mer Island House transformed into a vibrant hub of laughter and conversation during cocktail hour. Friends and family mingled, sipping on delicious themed drinks and savoring delectable appetizers.


The reception was a true highlight of the evening, made all the more extraordinary by the sensational live band, Nightshift. Nightshift had guests on their feet, dancing the night away. Katie and Eric's first dance to the upbeat tune of "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Toploader set the tone for a night of fun and celebration.


Heartfelt toasts from friends and family added laughter and tears of joy to the festivities. The love and support surrounding Katie and Eric were evident as their loved ones shared cherished memories and well wishes. As the night progressed, the energy reached its peak when Eric was lifted above the crowd, symbolizing the unparalleled joy of this incredible celebration.


Katie and Eric's wedding at Belle Mer Island House was a true testament to the power of love, family, and celebration.

It's crazy to think that Brit and Joe recently celebrated their SECOND wedding anniversary! Lucky for us, their celebration was timeless and I still think back on how they paid attention to every small detail to create a ceremony and reception that was totally personal and reflected all the tiny ways they really love each other. I love the way their entire wedding was centered around the "story of them", from their touching vows to all of the guests tearing up the dance floor -- this is one film we're especially excited to share! 

The Must-See Moments:

• Right out of the gate, Joe has us swooning and getting teary-eyed with his promises to Brittany during this "chapter" of their story, and Brit does not disappoint in following with her vows. 
  
  
• Guarantee your own heart does a little flutter around the 1:37 mark when their officiant says, "Do you know what this means....?" Whether you're already married or planning your day, you can FEEL the excitement of this moment through the screen. 
  
  
• The sweetness between Brittany and her father when he sees her for the first time that day, followed by his toast. It's just too pure -- "Joe, you're a true mensch."
  
  
• Before we hit the dance floor, hear Brit's sister and Maid of Honor spill the beans on which family is getting the better end of the deal in these nuptials. We love pairing moments like this with other footage throughout the day to help tell the story on film. Especially for this couple, we were thrilled to bring their day, and more importantly - their story, to life through film!
