A Newport Love Story Begins
Newport, Rhode Island, is a dream destination for couples looking to celebrate their love. Its scenic coastline, rich maritime history, and undeniable charm make it ideal for engagements and weddings alike. Ally and Rachel chose Newport not only for its beauty but also for the serene yet adventurous atmosphere it offers.
Their session began at Newport Harbor, where Captain Dave welcomed us aboard one of McCurdy Sailing’s stunning yachts. The classic New England design of the boat set the tone for an unforgettable experience. As we sailed into the calm waters of Narragansett Bay, the scenery and soft breeze created the perfect backdrop for Ally and Rachel’s story to unfold.
Romance on the Open Water
Ally and Rachel’s love took center stage as we set sail. They stood together at the bow, holding hands and sharing quiet laughter. The gentle rhythm of the waves added to the intimacy of the moment.
Captain Dave skillfully navigated the yacht, offering stunning views of Newport’s coastline, Jamestown’s peaceful shores, and the Castle Hill Lighthouse. The natural beauty of Narragansett Bay surrounded them, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere.
The calm waters made every interaction feel even more special. Ally and Rachel’s joy and love for each other shone throughout the session. Each moment felt effortless yet deeply meaningful, a perfect reflection of their connection.
Candid Moments and True Connection
Some of the most beautiful images from the session came from the candid moments that happened naturally. Whether Rachel was adjusting Ally’s hair as the wind picked up or Ally instinctively reached for Rachel’s hand during a quiet moment, their gestures told a story of love and care.
The yacht provided a unique and dynamic environment for these moments to unfold. The motion of the water, shifting light, and open horizon made every frame feel alive with emotion. Captain Dave’s expertise ensured that we always had the best angles and lighting, whether we were near Newport’s bustling harbor or surrounded by the stillness of Narragansett Bay.
Sailing: An Adventure for the Heart
Sailing isn’t just an activity—it’s an adventure that blends excitement, serenity, and timeless romance. The open water offers freedom unlike any other experience. With the wind filling the sails and waves gently rocking the boat, every moment feels calming and invigorating.
Ally and Rachel’s engagement session beautifully captured this sense of adventure. As the boat glided across Narragansett Bay, they embraced the quiet and beauty surrounding them. The horizon stretched endlessly. Sunlight danced on the water. Coastal views provided a breathtaking, ever-changing backdrop.
Sailing feels special because it allows time to slow down and connect. There’s no rush on the water, just space to take it all in. The movement of the boat adds energy, while the stillness of the bay invites reflection.
For couples, sailing offers an escape from the everyday. Quiet conversations at the bow, laughter carried on the breeze, or watching the sun set together—it’s a collection of small but meaningful moments. Sailing offers a perfect balance of peace and intimacy. It’s an experience where nature’s beauty and shared joy create memories you’ll treasure forever.
