Together with their families, Amy and Trent said โ€˜I doโ€™ in a quaint little chapel, then celebrated the occasion with a lavish cocktail party at the Wentworth by the Sea. ย It was warm, wonderful and a Wicked Good time!!

***Hey, this is Will.ย  Iโ€™m adding this paragraph in 2020 โ€“ almost 10 years after shooting this wedding!ย  I was looking through old posts and saw this, and thought, this is some really good wedding photography, and there are some really great images of the couple as well as of the bride (Amy) herself!ย  Trent, sorry, it seems like Lucia and I paid a little more attention to your bride to be than to you ๐Ÿ™‚

Anyway, I hopeย  you enjoy these images.ย  Iโ€™m very proud of the images Lucia and I created, and considering we shot it in 2011, thrilled they donโ€™t look dated.ย ย Be sure to scroll far enough to see the ballroom!ย ย Thanks for looking โ€“ Will

The Wentworth by the Sea Hotel on Amy and Trent’s Wedding Day

A Stunning Wedding at the Wentworth by the Sea

Thereโ€™s something magical about weddings at the Wentworth by the Sea. Nestled in the charming coastal town of Newcastle, NH, this venue is a dream for any couple looking to tie the knot with a touch of timeless elegance. Amy and Trentโ€™s wedding was no exception, as their special day was a perfect blend of heartfelt moments, joyful celebration, and picturesque backdrops.

Before diving into the story, a heartfelt thank you to the incredible vendors who helped bring Amy and Trentโ€™s vision to life. From Amyโ€™s effortlessly chic J. Crew wedding dress to the breathtaking arrangements by Jardiniere Florals, every detail was flawless. Abby Stevens and the team at the Wentworth by the Sea ensured the day ran smoothly, while Jeff Irwin from the Music Man DJ Service kept the dance floor alive all night long. And letโ€™s not forget the exquisite cake by Diane Adams, which was almost too beautiful to cutโ€”almost!

Getting Ready: A Morning of Anticipation

Amy began her day in a luxurious suite at the Wentworth by the Sea. The suiteโ€™s bright and airy design provided the perfect setting for capturing those intimate pre-ceremony moments. Amyโ€™s J. Crew dress hung elegantly by the window, while the florals by Jardiniere added a pop of color and romance to the scene.

First Look on the Front Lawn

The front lawn of the Wentworth by the Sea set the stage for Amy and Trentโ€™s first look. As Trent turned to see his bride for the first time, the emotion in his eyes was palpable. This moment was both tender and joyful, as the couple shared a private exchange filled with love and excitement for the day ahead. With the hotelโ€™s stunning architecture and manicured grounds as a backdrop, the photos from this moment are nothing short of breathtaking.

A Heartfelt Ceremony at Little Harbor Chapel

Amy and Trentโ€™s ceremony took place at the charming Little Harbor Chapel in New Hampshire. This intimate and picturesque chapel was the perfect setting for their heartfelt vows. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the coupleโ€™s love story unfolded beautifully as they exchanged promises to one another. The soft light streaming through the chapelโ€™s windows added a serene glow, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

I might be the only person who loves this shot, but I do! Obviously, I didn’t stay outside, but I wanted an image of the church where you could still see Amy and Trent. In photography lingo, we call this a ‘keyhole’ shot.

From the grand staircase inside the hotel to the sweeping views of the ocean, every corner of the property exuded elegance. Amy and Trentโ€™s natural chemistry made every shot feel effortless, and their joy was contagious.
