Julie + Brendan: Married at the Chanler in Newport, RI

This Labor Day Weekend wedding at  The Chanler at Cliff Walk was beyond dreamy. Our lovely Southern bride Julie, her handsome groom Brendan and their very closest family and friends traveled to Newport for this intimate and lovely event.  This glorious historic boutique hotel felt like a private hideaway for the weekend, though this hideaway might have the best ocean views in all of Newport. It is certainly one of the best spots in New England for a waterfront wedding ceremony!

The Chanler is just steps away from Newport’s Cliff Walk and has gorgeous ocean views, but somehow manages to feel like a completely private enclave.

Julie’s natural beauty was breathtaking–she is so graceful and lovely, and her wedding attire was the perfect choice for her.003TheChanler_CliffWalk_Newport_Wedding_AnnaSawinPhotography
