Glen Manor House

Quiet estate elegance

Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island is one of the estate venues where I regularly photograph weddings. The gardens, terraces, and more private atmosphere give the day a calm and elegant feel. A fun bit of history: Paul and I tied the knot here in 2013.

Photographing Weddings at Glen Manor House

Glen Manor House has a quieter rhythm than many Newport venues. The gardens, stone terraces, and waterfront lawn all feel close together, so the day tends to move naturally from one part of the property to another.

When I photograph weddings here, I often find myself working in the smaller spaces between the larger moments. Those transitions are part of what makes Glen Manor feel so personal.
