As the ceremony ended, the rain started pouring down on us.  Not to worry – the reception was held at the gorgeous Castle Hill Inn on Ocean Drive in Newport, RI, and even in the rain it looks beautiful.  During the occasional breaks in the rain, we grabbed some portraits outside:

The flowers by The Secret Garden were beautiful; the coordination by Rebecca White at Castle Hill Inn was perfection (and she was also really nice to work with – always a huge plus for me!)

The girls looked so pretty in their gowns in different colors. Love this!

Champagne being poured for the head table:

The first dance was filled with smiles and cute glances:

Some candids from the reception:

The rain just kept on coming … but who cares when there are sorbets this pretty waiting to be eaten?!

Some wonderful toasts … including what may have been the shortest best man’s toast in the history of weddings!

The parent dances are always a favorite part of the evening for me:

Thank you all for a wonderful evening, and for being so cheerful despite the rain. I hope you’ve enjoyed the teasers – the full gallery will be available soon!
