Oceancliff I Do’s: Bita & Daren’s Seaside Soirée – Captured by Alex Gordias, Newport Wedding Photographer
In the heart of Newport, a day dawned, destined to be more than just another date on the calendar. It was the day Bita and Daren chose to intertwine their lives at the Oceancliff Hotel, and as a local wedding photographer, I had the privilege to capture each moment.
Morning Mirth at the Viking Hotel
The day kicked off at Newport’s iconic Viking Hotel. The vibe? Pure excitement with a sprinkle of nerves. Bita and Daren, surrounded by their closest, prepped for the day. The Viking’s charm added a touch of historical elegance, setting a splendid stage for the start of their journey.
The Elms: A First Look to Remember
Then came the moment at The Elms. This wasn’t just any first look; it was a pause in time, a moment so poignant that even the lush gardens of the mansion seemed to hold their breath. Bita and Daren’s first glance at each other here wasn’t just an exchange of looks; it was a silent promise, a preview of the beautiful commitment about to unfold.
Oceancliff Hotel: Where Vows Meet the Sea
As we moved to the Oceancliff Hotel, the main venue, the day unfurled its magic. The outdoor ceremony was a picturesque dream, set against the backdrop of the harbor and boats. The vows, the gentle sea breeze, the sound of the waves – everything conspired to make their “I do’s” unforgettable.
