Today, I’m taking you behind the lens to share the enchanting story of Samantha and Benjamin, a couple whose love story is as captivating as the luxurious setting of their wedding at Belle Mer. From college acquaintances to soulmates, their journey to the altar is a testament to the unexpected twists and turns of love.
A Fateful Reconnection
Imagine this: two college students, immersed in their worlds at Wentworth in Boston. Benjamin, the computer science whiz and hockey player, and Samantha, the construction management guru and lacrosse star, shared mutual friends but never really connected. That is until the Patriots clinched their fifth Super Bowl win, and Boston was abuzz with celebrations. Amidst the cold, snowy backdrop of New England, Ben reached out to Sam, sparking a conversation that would lead them to their first date. It’s funny how a simple message can set the stage for a lifetime together, isn’t it?
Choosing Belle Mer: A Dream Venue
When it came to their wedding, Samantha and Benjamin wanted a venue that mirrored the elegance and depth of their journey. Enter Belle Mer: a venue that exudes modern luxury with its sleek lines, stunning ocean views, and manicured gardens. Nestled in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island, Belle Mer was the perfect canvas for their summer wedding, blending the natural beauty of the coast with the sophistication they envisioned for their big day.
Why Belle Mer?
Choosing Belle Mer wasn’t just about the breathtaking scenery; it was about finding a place that felt like them. The venue’s blend of contemporary elegance and waterfront serenity spoke to their hearts, promising a celebration that would be as memorable as their love story.
