Your wedding day isn’t just a timeline of moments; it’s the beginning of your legacy.
We believe in documenting it with intention — blending artistry, emotion, and elegance to create imagery that feels as timeless as your love story.
We specialize in refined, coastal, and estate weddings across Newport, Connecticut, and New England, crafting heirloom imagery with a cinematic touch that stands the test of time.
Because your wedding deserves more than documentation — it deserves artistry.
Capturing genuine, cherished moments that reflect your unique love story with a touch of timeless elegance.
You value a personalized experience where your photographer truly understands you and brings out your personality in every image.
And of course, you appreciate a smooth, seamless journey that lets you relax and fully enjoy your day.
Hi, we’re Catherine and Oscar Cortes!
With 14 years of marriage and hundreds of weddings captured across Newport, Rhode Island and Connecticut, we’re passionate about helping couples begin their own journey with confidence, joy, and unforgettable imagery.
Not only do we pour our heart and soul into our craft, we also care deeply about building relationships with clients and providing an exceptional experience from first DM to final delivery. We can’t wait to witness and capture the depth and breadth of your commitment to one another—and have some fun in the process!
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and it deserves to be remembered in more than just still images.
While photographs capture individual moments, film brings it all to life: the sound of your vows, the music of your first dance, the emotion in your voices. As Connecticut-based wedding videographers serving Newport and beyond, we create cinematic films that preserve the atmosphere, emotion, and energy of your day in a way nothing else can.
This is more than a video — it’s a timeless heirloom you’ll revisit for years to come, and one your family will cherish for generations.

set up A CALL

In the weeks and months leading up to your big day, we’ll work with you (and any coordinators) to make sure all logistical details such as day-of timelines are prepared. We’ll also send a questionnaire for you to fill out to give us more insight and to plan for your Love Story session.
YOUR DATE secured
02
This is a time for the four of us to get to know each other, connect, and hear more about your unique love story (how you met, your proposal, etc.). We’ll conduct a 10-15 minute low-pressure interview to capture audio which we’ll use in your films.Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
ENGAGEMENT SESSION

We check in about four months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
