This historic ship lives in Newport and hosts all sort of events from weddings to business meeting cocktail hours and sunset sails. At 101 feet it holds 68 passengers (not including crew) which is perfect for an intimate gathering or celebration.
Photographing events on the Aurora does have its challenges - like moving around! - but as a lover of the sea and Rhode Island it's always a special treat to photograph on this historic vessel. Don't forget to add pretty blankets or ponchos for guests and of course a variety of beverages to make your trip extra special! Contact the Newport Experience or visit their FAQ page for more information.
**This image was taken at a business meeting cocktail hour. I love that it gives the vibe of the evening with guests in silhouette and reflection to represent the party.
