With its sweeping marble staircase, oceanfront lawn, and architecture inspired by Versailles, Rosecliff is Newport at its most iconic. A wedding here carries a sense of occasion — a setting that invites elegance while leaving room for deeply personal moments.
Whether you're exchanging vows under the chandeliers or dancing beneath the stars on the terrace, Rosecliff offers a backdrop worthy of the love you're celebrating. I’ve photographed weddings at Rosecliff that feel like something out of a novel — full of emotion, tradition, and a touch of grandeur. It’s a place where every detail seems to hold weight, and every moment is worth remembering.
Newport, RI.
Photographing a wedding at Rosecliff is about more than just capturing a beautiful venue — it’s about honoring the balance between architecture and emotion, formality and feeling. I photograph with both film and digital to reflect that balance, blending softness with clarity, grandeur with intimacy.
My approach is calm, observant, and quietly present. I look for those in-between moments — a glance on the grand staircase, the way your dress moves through the marble halls — and let the story unfold naturally. Your Rosecliff wedding photographs will reflect not just the beauty of where you are, but the meaning behind why you’re there.

"Nicole was amazing to work with! She captured our small Cape Cod wedding so beautifully. The photos were better than I could have imagined. She was very communicative and professional, and she got our photos to us quickly! I will definitely be recommending her to others.”

Nicole has more than a decade of experience using film and digital imagery to document celebrations along the coastlines. She starts nearly every day sitting at the table with three generations — herself, her mother and her grandmother — sharing coffee and Italian cookies. (Four generations if you count her dog, Killian.)
Personally trained by the industry’s best, her work carries the weight of a legacy, refined with dedication to the artistry and the personalization required for an iconic wedding.
