Newport, RI Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Coastal estates, historic ballrooms, and four true seasons — Newport sets a formal stage and we love it.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Newport

From harbor light to foliage season, Newport weddings carry a classic register — historic venues, formal timelines, family traditions. We know how to run an efficient formals session and still disappear into the candid moments.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Newport surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Newport

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Newport than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:20 PM and golden hour opens around 7:38 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:04 PM — a swing of 2 hours 16 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Newport ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Newport

These are the Newport venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Newport ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Newport, RI?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Newport wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Newport as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Newport before?

Not every venue in Newport, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Photography

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
