The Belle Mer Portrait Guide: Where to Take Your Wedding Photos

Take Advantage of Every Beautiful Backdrop

A Belle Mer wedding offers no shortage of beautiful places for portraits. From the gardens to the waterfront, each area of the property brings something different to your wedding gallery. One of the best ways to make the most of your Belle Mer wedding day is to not limit yourself to just one portrait location.

The Gardens Out Front

The gardens in front of Belle Mer create a classic and romantic setting for portraits. Surrounded by greenery and beautiful landscaping, this area is perfect for elegant portraits that highlight your dress, veil, and all the details of your wedding day.

The Grand Lawn

The open lawn gives your portraits a completely different feel. The space allows for wider photographs that showcase the scale of Belle Mer while keeping the focus on you. It's also a beautiful spot for movement, especially if you have a long veil or dramatic dress.

The Waterfront

Of course, you can't get married at Belle Mer without taking advantage of the waterfront. The open views and Newport coastline create an airy, coastal backdrop that instantly gives your gallery a different look. Walking along the water, standing together on the shoreline, or simply taking a quiet moment away from your guests can create some of the most natural portraits of the day.

Sunset Portraits

And then there's sunset. If your timeline allows, stepping outside for a few minutes during golden hour is absolutely worth it. The changing light creates a completely different atmosphere and gives you an opportunity to finish your portrait session with some of the most romantic images of the day.

Don't Just Choose One Location

One of the biggest advantages of a Belle Mer wedding is having so many beautiful backdrops all in one place. Instead of spending your entire portrait session in one location, take advantage of the variety the property offers. Start in the gardens, move across the lawn, head toward the waterfront, and if timing allows, step out again for sunset.

Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create your gallery, so make the most of it. A variety of locations means a variety of photographs, giving your final gallery different perspectives, moods, and moments while still telling the story of your Belle Mer wedding day.
