Wedding films at Blithewold Mansion.
Blithewold sits on 33 acres above Narragansett Bay in Bristol, with a stone mansion, formal gardens and a Great Lawn that opens to the water. I've filmed here six times, and everything on this page comes from those real weddings.

Questions
Blithewold Mansion wedding FAQs.
Where is Blithewold Mansion?
Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum is at 101 Ferry Road (Route 114) in Bristol, Rhode Island. The venue describes 33 acres of historic gardens overlooking Narragansett Bay.
Where are ceremonies and receptions at Blithewold?
The venue says ceremonies are held in the North Garden next to the Mansion. Cocktails are in the Mansion, on the terraces and on two covered porches, and dinner and dancing are in the white 40 by 100 foot wedding tent on the Great Lawn.
Which way does Blithewold face, and how are the sunsets?
The venue's tent sits on the 10-acre Great Lawn facing west over the bay, and the venue calls its sunsets spectacular. You can see that golden light in the portraits in my films.
Can more than one wedding happen at Blithewold on the same day?
No. The venue says it allows only one wedding per day, so you have the property to yourselves.
Have you filmed at Blithewold before?
Yes, six times. Five of those films are on this page: Emily & Colton, Victoria & Andrew, Alexis & Joshua, Britney & Michael and Kimberley & Ethan. Caitlin & David are also a Blithewold wedding I've filmed.
What does a wedding day at Blithewold look like in your films?
In my films the day moves from getting ready to a first look on the terrace, a ceremony on the lawn with the bay behind it, portraits through the gardens and a reception in the tent. Every couple shapes it differently.
Can you film with a drone at Blithewold?
I have filmed aerials here, and you can see some in the films above. Drone use depends on venue rules, weather and your date, so I confirm it with you and the venue ahead of time.
Is my Blithewold date still open with you?
Send me your date and I will let you know if I am available. Popular dates book early, so it is worth reaching out sooner rather than later.
