Marianne and Billy met one summer in Newport, Rhode Island. Newport is home to some of the most incredible mansions in the world, such as the Breakers, Marble House, and Rosecliff, as well as breathtaking views of the ocean. It holds so many special memories for the couple, who currently live in Connecticut, that they decided to do both their engagement shoot and their wedding there. Unfortunately, the day we picked for their shoot was during a late season Noreaster! But Marianne said she wasn’t afraid of doing the shoot with an umbrella. I told her that hopefully with the help of the wonderful architecture found in the many fabulous mansions in Newport, we would find enough covered spaces that we could be umbrella free. And sure enough we were! Not to mention Marianne and Billy’s wonderful sunny dispositions made up for any remaining gloominess the weather provided.
