An editorial at Glen Manor House

Glen Manor House · Portsmouth, Rhode Island · Editorial

In May 2025 I photographed an editorial designed by Sarah Brehant Events at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island: a garden-party wedding on the water, from a ceremony under draped stone arches to dinner in the tent and candlelight in the manor’s dining room. It is a styled shoot with models rather than a real wedding, made to show what this house and this kind of day can look like. Every frame is in natural light, the way I photograph a wedding.
