For the biggest day of your life, you can't look anything less than brilliant. The morning of your wedding, we bring our team to sharpen up the gents. With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots. We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

I was honestly feeling pretty stressed leading up to the big day, but the moment Christian and his team arrived, everything shifted. The setup was immaculate—the products were top-shelf, the presentation was elevated, and the full-body massage? Next level. I actually fell asleep on the table. Getting a deep, professional massage on the morning of your wedding should be the gold standard for every groom—it completely centered me and set the tone for the day. The shaves were perfect, the haircuts were crisp, and every single one of my guys looked 10/10. It turned what could’ve been a chaotic morning into an unforgettable experience. No exaggeration—after my wedding, every one of my engaged friends booked Doorbell Barbers for their own.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,900

Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly can’t say enough about Maddie and the incredible experience we had working with her. From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, creative, and deeply passionate she is about photography. Maddie went above and beyond—traveling from Rhode Island to Upstate New York for our wedding, and photographing us beforehand in Rhode Island, where she brought us to stunning, thoughtfully chosen locations. On our wedding day, Maddie captured everything with an artistic, intuitive eye. She noticed and preserved the quiet, meaningful details of our farm venue—those small, fleeting moments we would have missed in the rush of the day. Because of her, we now have timeless images that bring us right back to the feeling of being there. One of our absolute favorite memories (and the photos everyone raves about) is the sunset session in a wide open field while our guest we're eating their dinner. With the soft dreamlike tones—she created pure magic, effortlessly. Maddie just knew what to capture and how to tell our story without needing a word of direction. We are endlessly grateful for Maddie’s talent, care, and heart. Her photos are a gift we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Within my professional career, I have had the privilege to travel to some amazing places and have had the opportunity to plan and work with a variety of events. Even going way back to college I helped organize an unlimited amount of events and even helped the years below be on their proms! I can easily say it has always been such a fun hobby that I truly enjoyed. Now, with many different jobs tried out I can confidently say, I have found my niche.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Sea Breeze Events, we knew we were in good hands. We hired Cliona to help with day of coordination on our wedding day. Cliona’s communication style and overall vibe fit us so well, being very easy-going yet also unafraid to take charge, keeping a calm demeanor that helped us feel the same way throughout the entire day. She and her assistant were incredibly organized, ready to tackle any issue, and thoroughly professional. They kept all of our vendors and ourselves informed and on track, handling any problems that came up without causing us any added stress. Everything went so smoothly and Cliona even took care of things day-of that we had forgotten to discuss with her. She truly just took care of it all and we are so grateful we were able to work with her! Thank you, Cliona!!

From the first moment I sent Abby an inquiry and she wrote back so promptly and sweet I just knew she’s who I wanted to go with. I am NOT a planner so without her my wedding would’ve been absolute chaos with no one knowing what to do, I’m honestly not sure how she had everything run so smoothly because I gave her the bare minimum to work with just saying (I don’t know) to half her questions and she always came back with “no problem we can go back to it or I can come up with a plan”.. so basically 95% of the timeline was all of her suggestions and her and I am SO THANKFUL for that because our day was seriously the most magical, amazing, so much love, if there were any mishaps which I’m sure there were .. (I still don’t know.. because ABBY was on top of everything and smiling through it all and always checking in on Nick and I) my vendors LOVED her , our families couldn’t stop talking about her, & we still keep telling people who tell us it was the greatest wedding of all time that we owe so much to Abby.. because we do! SOOOOO if you debating on going with her stop debating and just do it I promise you she will listen to what you want, check in on time always before and during, and if you don’t know what to do like me.. she will help guide you through the process of building your timeline and best day of your life! I can keep writting about her and all the extra little things that made our hearts explode on the day of BUT I’ll stop and just say… book with Abby and it will be your best investment 110%

OceanCliff Hotel is a premier waterfront estate in Newport, offering a seamless blend of historic 19th-century charm and coastal elegance. Set on 10 acres of rolling lawns overlooking Narragansett Bay, this iconic venue provides a breathtaking backdrop for everything from romantic summer sunset ceremonies to cozy winter weddings. Beyond its stunning Atlantic views, OceanCliff is renowned for world-class cuisine and a legacy of social excellence. Whether you’re hosting an intimate rehearsal dinner or a grand reception, it remains Newport's most enchanting destination.

OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset!

Hedi Field Photography 

5.0

Newport, RI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

My love for art and photography began 10 years ago. That's when I bought my first camera. It was love at first sight! My job is way more than just to create beautiful imagery. It is to help you have fun and feel like a rockstar in front of the camera!

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

Detail meetings ensured everyone was on the same page and no questions were left unanswered. They run a tight ship and ensured our timeline was followed to a tee, not even rain could stop us!

Pamela took the time to get to know us and crafted a ceremony that felt deeply personal and true to our love story, which was so special.

She also guided us through the marriage license process and made it very easy and stress-free.

Ready to Plan Your Dream Wedding? Ariana is originally from Cranston, Rhode Island and has always been a natural born leader. With her meticulous organizational skills and commitment to creativity, she founded AMC Weddings in 2018. Along with Ariana, the AMC Weddings team consists of two lead event assistants as well as multiple event team members to achieve a flawless wedding day for the couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision we made while planning our September 2022 wedding was hiring Ariana and the AMC Weddings team. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning and designing process was astounding. Ariana was there to make us feel confident in each decision we were making for our wedding day whether the decision big or small. Ariana was our contact person for all of our vendors to alleviate the stress and burden of many, many emails which made the wedding planning process for us that much more enjoyable. Her immaculately-detailed timelines, design plans, itineraries, and expertise were truly unmatched and made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. The AMC Weddings Team (thank you also to Pascale, Lauren, and Macey!) blended in during our wedding day so seamlessly. There was even an issue with the person that was supposed to bring our dog Luna to our first look location. We, as the bride and groom, didn’t even realize it was an issue until the following day that Luna was not going to be able to be brought back to our home nearby by the dog company we hired. AMC Weddings didn’t even think twice and drove over 40 minutes one-way to ensure she was brought back safely, without even a hiccup in the day. Our friends and family could not stop telling us how wonderful, professional, and helpful Ariana and her team were throughout the entire day. We could not have made it through this process without her. If you are on the fence about hiring Ariana and AMC Weddings, it will be the best investment you make for a stress-free wedding day! We cannot thank Ariana and her team enough!

The Bohlin was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We got married in a nearby church and had the cocktail hour and reception at the Bohlin. The planning team was so professional and easy to work with from day one. I had multiple phone calls before signing the contract essentially going line-by-line to make sure I fully knew and understood what was and was not included (would recommend doing this with any venue). Although the minimums are pretty steep, the high-quality inclusions and mostly all-in-one package made it completely worth it. The venue can speak for itself! It is a gorgeous waterfront hidden in the heart of downtown Newport. One of our priorities was easy logistics for our guests and this was a perfect location for that. Our other priority was good food and let me tell you, Newport Restaurant Group is top notch. Our guests raved for weeks about the quality of the food. The last thing I'll highlight is how personalized it felt throughout the wedding planning process. The whole time it felt like ours was the only wedding they were planning during a peak month of June. We are thrilled we chose The Bohlin for our special day.

Having my wedding at the Newport Marriott exceeded my expectations from start to finish. You can't beat the scenic location, unmatched convenience of having accommodations under the same roof to the staff that went above and beyond with every request big or small. I can't express enough how at ease I felt leading up to my wedding working with Rachel who was my events coordinator. Throughout my entire planning process, I could always count on her for a prompt response with answers to any questions I had or resolutions to any new requests and concerns I'd throw her way. Being able to have full trust in Rachel was really the greatest gift I could ask for. She made the process so stress-free and it's worth mentioning she's super sweet and a joy to be around! When I think back on my wedding, I'll always remember how helpful she was and how much that positively impacted the entire experience. Every staff member I worked with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. My guests rang their praises after the big day too. The food and bar service was top notch. I used the house centerpieces that were gorgeous. I hadn't a single worry about everything coming together the way I planned and pictured all because of the staff here.

Recalling our wedding day, I can't help but smile at the memories crafted at Gardiner House. It quickly became evident that we had discovered something truly special. The venue's ambiance provided a picturesque backdrop for our celebration. With a friendly and attentive staff, the planning process unfolded seamlessly, ensuring that every detail received the care it deserved. Strolling down the aisle surrounded by loved ones, a wave of happiness washed over me. The gardens offered a serene setting for our ceremony, while the reception hall was both spacious and inviting.

Hi! I'm Meg! I LOVE what I do, and I enjoy sharing my vision with everyone! I got my first camera from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes mail in off the box when I was in the 3rd Grade and ever since then I've been HOOKED! Since I began photographing on Film, and learning the TRUE Process of Color Printing and Processing in a dark room, I have become a nit-pic for portraying the truth in a photograph. It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many Amazing people! I wouldn't be here today without the love and support of my Family, Friends & clients who are all over the globe. I am truly one of the luckiest gals around!

Meg was INCREDIBLE as our photographer for our October wedding in the Berkshires. She is so easy to work with, especially my husband who doesn’t typically like being photographed. She made us both feel so at ease, gave clear instructions for poses, and made everything feel really natural. We had large wedding parties and large families, and she was awesome at wrangling everyone. We are so excited to see how everything turns out!! Thanks, Meg!
