Coastal Elegance Meets Garden Whimsy | Castle Hill Inn Wedding | Rhode Island Wedding Photographer
Leena & Taylor’s wedding at the stunning Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, was the perfect blend of coastal charm and whimsical elegance. Their love story began in 2018, when they met through a mutual friend—who also happened to be the officiant on their wedding day. Though Taylor had always had his eye on Leena, it wasn’t until 2021, when she invited him to her birthday party, that their relationship truly began. Taylor proposed in Newport, a place dear to their hearts, and it only made sense to say “I do” where their journey had come full circle.
Their vision for the day was “elevated garden party with a formal touch,” and with the help of AMC Weddings, that dream came to life. The florals by Stone Blossom were a colorful, undone mix that felt both organic and artful—perfectly complementing the oceanfront setting. Leena’s gown, with its muted floral overlay and romantic silhouette, added to the whimsical aesthetic while tying into the garden-inspired theme.
Guests were welcomed with thoughtful personal touches—from Polaroid escort cards to a Newport coffee table book serving as a guest book. Their monogram was subtly woven into signage by Something Borrowed Event Decor, and a custom bar sign added a personal flair to cocktail hour.
The celebration continued under a sailcloth tent with live music by Wilson Stevens Band, where laughter and dancing filled the ocean air. With glam by Simply Gorgeous by Erin, Leena looked radiant as she celebrated alongside Taylor with family and friends in a place that held so much meaning to them both.
Castle Hill Inn provided the dream backdrop & we couldn’t be happier for this couple! Truly some of the most fun-loving, gracious, and humble people. Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Hartwright!
