belle mer wedding

Katie & Eric knew that a Belle Mer Wedding would be the perfect way to immortalize their love story, along the coast of Newport, Rhode Island. But before all of that, Katie and Eric’s paths crossed, thanks to a shared friend in the heart of Boston. Their blossoming romance was filled with dinners under the city lights, with laughter spilling over the rim of their cocktail glasses. Yet, as the world began to retreat within itself during the pandemic, their love took a new shape. The bond between them deepened in the quiet corners of their homes, in shared solitude during home workouts, and in the whispered secrets on their evening city runs.

As the months slipped into years, their love story unfolded like a beautiful bloom. They spent week-long retreats in Gorham, NH, and Newport, RI, the picturesque settings becoming the canvas of their deepening love. Amid these idyllic locations, they found themselves falling more profoundly in love. Their unique love story, written in quiet moments and shared laughter, reached a beautiful crescendo with a memorable Belle Mer wedding.
