Indian & Chinese multicultural Newport wedding in Belle Mer

Chinese and Indian wedding at Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island by Nicole Chan Photography

When I see amazing light, I always ask my couples if they want to sneak out for a few minutes. My heart sings when it works out.

When I want a kiss of light on my couple’s faces and bodies, while also trying to preserve the color details of the background, it’s MagMod lighting modifiers to the rescue! It’s all about being fast, nimble, and efficient on a wedding day when time is precious!

I love these colors. I could go on and on about these colors!!

Those bangles are always tough to put on. Thank goodness for soap, water, baby oil, and aquaphor!

We facetimed in relatives from India to make sure we were doing everything correctly!

This adorably illustrated guide helped the guests understand the traditions during the Indian ceremony

One of my favorite parts of the day is the high energy baraat! The groom’s entrance into the ceremony

on a horse named Lenny!

This wedding photo was taken at The Gurney’s in Newport. I spotted it as they were walking from The Gurney’s to Belle Mer.

Love these flowers!

Esseim and his guys looking very dapper at their Belle Mer wedding in Newport, RI.

Some couples are scared of the wind, but I love it. Dress in the wind? Veil in the wind? Hair in the wind? Yes please.

I remember walking into the Belle Mer ballroom and even with my mask on, the entire room smelled beautiful.

Esseim and the wedding party threw together an INCREDIBLE choreographed dance at their wedding reception in the Belle Mer Ballroom. It was a big topic of conversation all day, and I was so excited to see it. It did not disappoint.
