Real Wedding
The Chanler at Cliff Walk · Newport, Rhode Island · October 18, 2025
An oceanfront autumn wedding at The Chanler — a first look, a ceremony with the Atlantic as a backdrop, golden-hour portraits along the Cliff Walk, and an elegant evening of live music in black, white, and sage.
On Saturday, October 18, 2025, Ashley and John were married at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island — the oceanfront boutique hotel perched at the head of Newport's famed Cliff Walk, overlooking the Atlantic. In a palette of black, white, and sage green, the day began with a first look before an autumn ceremony with the sea as a backdrop.
Around 130 guests moved from cocktails to a four-course dinner with live music — three bands across the night, including a baby grand at dinner — while the Cliff Walk glowed gold at sunset for portraits. The dance floor stayed full to the last song before Ashley and John left for a honeymoon in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, closing one of the most elegant Newport weddings of the season.
