Belle Mer – Katelyn & Connor’s Dreamy Summer Wedding
My first connection with this amazing family was with Katelyn’s mom, Linda. She just picked up the phone and called me—I always appreciate that kind of old-school, heartfelt reach-out.
We talked through all the details, and I always recommend FaceTime or Zoom—there’s nothing like putting a face to the voice and feeling that instant connection.
When I met Katelyn and Connor virtually, I could tell this wedding was going to be something special. They’re a stunning couple, and with Katelyn’s sisters and close friends cheering her on, plus Connor’s hilarious, sports-loving groomsmen (yes, they brought a football to the lawn at Belle Mer)—it was the perfect mix of beauty and fun.
Everything about the day was peak Newport charm. The wedding prep at the iconic Hotel Viking, the ceremony at the gorgeous St. Joseph’s Church, and an unforgettable celebration at Belle Mer on Goat Island. Picture-perfect views of the harbor, a sunset to remember, and dancing all night under the glow of the Pell Bridge.
Total success.
