Maddie & Ryan’s Newport Engagement: Coastal Magic Meets Real-Life Love Story


Okay, picture this: You’re on an Amtrak from Philly to Rhode Island, and the person who ends up sitting next to you… is your forever person.

Like, actual rom-com energy. Coincidence? Destiny? Whatever you want to call it—this love story hits different. We're loving it!

Fast forward to today, and these two are calling Newport home. So naturally, when it came time to capture their engagement session, we kept it local (and iconic).

Their shoot was a tour of their favorite spots—each one part of their story. Think:

Bowen’s Wharf

Bailey’s Beach

Castle Hill Inn Lighthouse

And the top-tier, can’t-beat-it Ledge Road

Why Ledge Road? That’s where Ryan popped the question. Talk about dreamy: ocean views, golden hour glow, just the right breeze—not the usual gusty Newport chaos. Literal perfection.

We even pushed the session a day because the wind was wild. Let’s be real—posing in 40mph gusts? Not the vibe. So we waited it out and got perfect conditions.

Natural, fun, totally them. Scroll through to see the magic.
