We’ve done a ton of proposals, but this is one we’ll remember for a lifetime.

At Jamal & Lashana Photography, shaping moments with intention and then giving them room to unfold naturally has always been part of how we approach a wedding day. This time, we had the privilege of taking that philosophy a little further.

We designed the setting AND photographed the story.

When Greg first reached out, he already had a clear vision for how he wanted this moment to feel. He had also done extensive research before deciding who he trusted to bring it to life. That alone meant so much to us.

Together, we found a setting that could carry the experience and designed with what was already there in mind. Soft colored florals, candlelight, and an open view of the coast. Every detail was intentional, while leaving room for the property and, eventually, the two of them to be at the center of it all. 🤍

The biggest compliment we can receive as wedding photographers is having a couple return for future sessions. Knowing we left such a positive impact on their wedding experience fills our hearts with so much joy.

When Danielle reached out to celebrate their anniversary back here in Newport, we were so excited. Their connection and energy were just as alive as the day they said, "I do." That's the kind of marital bliss we hope every one of our couples experiences, and it was an honor to capture another chapter of their story.

I was scrolling the other day when I came across a post from Visit Newport RI of Forty Steps from over 100 years ago. It immediately caught my attention because, without even realizing it, I'd photographed this exact viewpoint.

Growing up in Newport, I never imagined I'd one day be documenting love stories in the same places that have been part of the city's story for generations. Seeing those old photographs made me appreciate the place I've always called home in a whole new way.

Long before engagement sessions and wedding portraits, people came here to gather, to fish, to celebrate, and to create memories of their own. While the landscape has changed over the decades, one thing hasn't. People are still drawn here to mark the moments that matter most.
Every couple we photograph here becomes part of a story that began long before us and will continue long after.

A proposal where the setting spoke just as loudly as the moment itself.

Congratulations to Aidan & Jamie.

Thanks to the resilience of our ancestors, we have opportunities they could have only dreamed of.

Today we honor the abolition of slavery in America and reflect on the freedoms they fought for.

As a husband and wife team, we don't take for granted the ability to build a business together, support our family through it, and walk through doors our ancestors could have only imagined.

Happy Juneteenth.

Some love stories leave clues in the details.

For these two, travel has always been part of their story, so a wedding filled with destination inspired touches, luggage tag seating assignments, and nods to the places that shaped them felt exactly right.

Their engagement started in Australia.

Their wedding story picked up at OceanCliff.

And while the details said one thing, their first look said the rest.

Playful all day, completely themselves, then suddenly still for a moment that reminded everyone what this day was really about.

As wedding photographers, this is what always stays with us.

The celebrations that feel the most personal are the ones where beauty actually means something.

Some moms send a sweet speech.
Some change into sequins and put on a full seventies performance for their daughter at Glen Manor.
Honestly? Icon behavior.
