Newport Yachting Center Wedding

I distinctly remember my phone consultation with Courtney and Bobby about their Newport Yachting Center Wedding. They were most excited about spending time with their friends and family. Documentary-style candid photography was something they wanted. They told me they just wanted to have lots of fun. And it was all going down at one of my favorite wedding venues, The Bohlin at the Newport Yachting Center in downtown Newport, RI. After hearing all of this, I knew we would be a great match!

Bride Getting Ready in Downtown Newport

The bridal party got ready in a house the bride and groom had rented for the wedding. It worked really well, as I was able to bounce back and forth to capture both parties getting ready. The bride was upstairs where her friends helped her put on her awesome bedazzled Keds wedding shoes.

Bridesmaids smiling and laughing

Groom Getting Ready in Newport, RI

Meanwhile downstairs, gifts were arriving from the bride as the guys were getting ready. Drinking accouterments for the groom, and a case of Bud Light for the groomsmen!

Roof Deck First Look in Newport

The next stop was the amazing roof deck on the top level of the house for the first look. Some couples like to keep their first looks private, but this couple opted to have all of their friends on hand to help them celebrate.

A bride and groom hold hands on a roof deck

Wedding Photos at Ochre Court in Newport

Next were formal wedding photos at Ochre Court mansion (part of the Salve Regina Campus) which is right along Cliff Walk . The first stop was the tree-lined walkway out front with the mansion in the background. Then we headed around to the back patio for backlit sun-kissed photos of the bride and groom and then their family and friends. We even had time for a quick football scrimmage!

A bride and groom exiting large iron gates to a tree lined driveway and a mansion

Wedding Ceremony at The Newport Yachting Center

After photos, the trolley took everyone to The Newport Yachting Center for the remainder of the wedding festivities. The ceremony took place out on the dock surrounded by sailboats and yachts. The bride and groom’s childhood friend officiated and had everyone in stitched laughing throughout the ceremony. Courtney and Bobby literally danced down the aisle after they were pronounced husband and wife.

A bride throwing her head back laughing as the groom and a row of groomsmen do the same

Tent Wedding Reception

Since we had done most of the group photos earlier, the bride and groom got to enjoy their cocktail hour before moving under the tent for the reception. Around sunset time, we snuck out for a few photos on the docks. There was a hilarious moment where the two of them were runway walking down the dock, and a sunset tour boat turned the corner with lots of cheers from people on the boat. Then we thought about sneaking onto one of the mega-yachts for photos but decided to keep things legal and head back to the reception instead.

The dance floor at the reception was instantly packed the second the band started playing. Some guests danced so hard they split their pants open!

One door closes, another opens. Newport's Scales & Shells gets a familiar face as new chef

newport yachting center

There's a new job in store for a chef who recently announced the closing of his restaurant.

Richard Allaire, chef and owner of Metacom Kitchen , said last week the restaurant would close their doors in Warren on April 22.

This week, Newport restaurant Scales & Shells announced Allaire as their new chef. The seafood restaurant is at 527 Thames St.

Scales & Shells also recently announced they are partnering with Crisp Restaurant Group, whose owners are former associates of Allaire.

Allaire and wife Sue opened Metacom Kitchen nine years ago at 322 Metacom Ave. They took over the space that was Tinker's Nest. Allaire took to social media last week to say he now has a desire to do new things. The job at Scales & Shells was that new thing apparently.

A Newport native, Allaire was at the helm in the Broadway kitchen of the former Tucker's Bistro in Newport. He was on the team at L'Epicureo at the Hotel Providence and was an investor and the chef when Providence Coal Fired Pizza opened in Providence in 2012.

His then partners at Providence Coal Fired Pizza, now operate as the Crisp Restaurant Group. They include Michael Santos, Dave Bertolini and Ed Restivo. They own not only the pizzerias in Providence and North Kingstown but also Union Station Brewery, Wes's Rib House and Barnaby's Public House, all in Providence.

Scales & Shells was founded in 1987 by Debra and Andrew Ackerman. They retired in 2022 and sold to the Peregrine Group who own the Newport Yachting Center.

A month ago on social media, the restaurant announced its partnering with the Crisp Restaurant Group. The restaurant has been closed for renovations and will reopen on May 1.

    13 reviews and 12 photos of Newport Yachting Center "We saw John Pinette here over the Summer with a couple of friends. The show was great! Located right on the water, it's a pretty nice spot because you do get the breeze coming off the water, however the stage area is located right behind Americas Cup Ave and the street noise can overtake whats going on inside, especially sirens.
