Paige + Will | 10.12.19 | Newport Beach House
It’s now been a year since Paige & Will got married in Newport, Rhode Island. (Happy Anniversary, you two!) What an awesome day filled with amazing events! We wanted to share a recap of their wedding day with you.
The newlyweds chose Neilan Media to document their Special Day with both photo and video highlighting the day’s events. From a production point-of-view, choosing us to shoot both the video and photos of their big day allowed us full creative control which enabled us to produce the top-notch content we delivered to them. Read on to get a glimpse into their stunning special day!
We started the day getting ready with Paige and her bridesmaids at the East Island Reserve in Newport. Champagne bubbles tickled the bridesmaids’ noses while they sipped and prepped for their extravagant afternoon. Will and his groomsmen suited up at Gurneys Hotel on Goat Island. Both locations were absolutely beautiful and provided a picturesque setting for great photos of everyone getting ready.
Paige & Will rolled around Newport in an antique Rolls Royce for their big bay. It was definitely a unique sight for us, and we loved it!
The couple said their “I do’s” at the iconic St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Broadway in Newport. Did you know? – St. Mary’s is the same church where Jackie and President John F. Kennedy got married back in 1953!
After being pronounced husband and wife we followed the newlyweds to Newport Beach House to take photos with the bridal party and family outside on the lawn. We had a lot of fun with the whole party and got through these photos very efficiently!
We had a 4:30 reservation at Ochre Court – a mansion on Bellevue Avenue – for photos with Paige & Will. This imposing historic mansion on Salve Regina University’s campus is often used for photography for weddings and engagement sessions. We were lucky enough to have a chance to shoot inside the mansion as well as across the entire grounds outside! We got some amazing photos with these two before heading back to their celebration!
Once we arrived back at Newport Beach House, Paige & Will got to enjoy cocktail hour and party the night away with their friends and family. We know 2020 hasn’t been the easiest year for most, but we hope it was filled with happiness and love for these two! Happy Anniversary!

Lindsey + Tiger | 9.21.19 | Harrington Farm
Do you remember, the 21st night of September? Well Lindsey and Tiger sure do because it was the day they got married!
We had the pleasure of capturing Lindsey + Tiger’s special day at Harrington Farm in Princeton, MA. They started their day at the Beechwood Hotel in Worcester, MA where they got ready and did their first look. Tiger had a bet with his groomsmen that he wouldn’t cry at the first look, it’s still up in the air whether he won or lost that bet. The wedding party and family then went to a nearby park in Worcester for more photos, and then off to the venue for the ceremony and the reception!
The weather was great for their wedding; a little hot during the day but better than raining! They had a wonderful ceremony and a blast of a party after. We worked with some great vendors there which we will link to below. Take a look at their highlight video and let us know what you think!

Katie + Steve | 07.05.19 | Gibbet Hill Barn
The funny thing about this couple is that the bride Katie actually went to college with our founder, Mike Neilan! Very soon after Katie got engaged, she reached out about having us do her wedding video and we’re happy it all worked out! We were glad it didn’t rain on their wedding, but instead it was one of the hottest days all Summer and with an outside ceremony it wasn’t easy, but we all braved through it!
They started their day getting ready at an Inn around the corner and made the short trip to Gibbet Hill for the ceremony and reception. Their vows almost made us cry while editing this, so check those our for sure. Mike actually went to college with the photographer too! Her company is Freckled Mermaid Photography
The wedding was a blast; we had an awesome time with Katie + Steve. They had a few fun surprise dances at the reception as well as some glow sticks to throw around, which made for some cool video. Again, don’t miss their vows in this video! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Vicki + Adam | 06.29.19 | Roseland Park
Vicki + Adam had a beautiful wedding on June 29, 2019 at Roseland Park in Woodstock, CT. They turned up the heat for their wedding….literally. It was about 100 degrees that day but it didn’t stop these two! Their love was clear and the day was amazing. They had an intimate wedding with close friends and family and we were honored to capture their day. Vicki got ready at her parents house about a half hour from the venue. They got married at Roseland Park under some shade and the party happened over in the barn. It was such a cool venue and we hope you enjoy their video!

Brittany + Duncan | 06.01.19 | Indian Pond Country Club
Brittany and Duncan actually booked us for their wedding almost 2 years ago so we had plenty of time to prepare with them! It was a slightly cloudy day on June 1, but the weather held up for their ceremony and it was an amazing day. They both got ready at hotels nearby and made their way to Indian Pond Country Club for the ceremony and the party. Surrounded by over 200 guests, Brittany and Duncan said I do and the party began. Baltazar Entertainment kept the crowd moving all night with a great selection of music. The couple even ended the night with a firework show!
