Newport Rhode Island has so much to offer, including incredible beaches! This one, Second Beach, is just a mile outside of town in Middletown, RI. It's an incredibly popular destination for locals and visitors alike, but after hours is where the magic really happens.
Walking the beach at sunset, when low tide is showing the smooth-as-glass blow water line sand, the sky lights up and it is truly beautiful. This is when portraits here are the absolute best!
This image is from a series where I asked the couple to walk down the beach towards me, and then wrap their arms around each other. I kept photographing through this extremely sweet exchange where she put her hands around his face and the wind blew her hair just right.
For the best newport engagement photographs, hire someone who knows the area, knows the beach, and how the light works here. It really is a special place!
