Newport Beach House sits at 3 Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown, right on the sand at what its owner, Longwood Venues, calls Newport's most famous beach. Couples say their vows on the southwest-facing beach, then celebrate in Surfside, with its beachside terrace, or upstairs in Eventide, with a wall of windows and a floating staircase down to the sand. Capturing that beach-house setting in Newport Beach House wedding photos and cinema is why we love working here as a Newport Beach House wedding photographer and videographer team.
From beach vows to the last dance at Newport Beach House, we offer Newport wedding photography and Newport wedding films across Middletown, Newport and the rest of Rhode Island, separately or together as one coordinated team.

We have filmed at Newport Beach House more than once, and 3 of those Newport Beach House wedding films are on this page. What follows is our behind-the-camera guide to the Middletown venue: how the beach, the terraces, Surfside and Eventide shape Newport Beach House wedding photos and films.
Newport Beach House Wedding Venue: the Beach, Surfside, Eventide & What the Space Demands
Surfside, Eventide, and Newport Beach House wedding capacity
When planning around Newport Beach House wedding capacity, the venue lists Eventide, Deck + Terrace II at 5,158 square feet for up to 370 guests for dinner and dancing, and Surfside + Terrace I at 3,947 square feet for up to 200. The Oyster Lounge, at 2,000 square feet, takes up to 80 for dinner and dancing and works for an intimate dinner by the fire. Each room opens to a terrace, so the party can move between indoors and the beach.
Newport Beach House wedding photos: the beach and the waterline
For Newport Beach House wedding photos, the beach is the anchor of the day. The venue describes its beach as southwest-facing and ideal for ceremonies, which puts the afternoon sun over the water for portraits. We plan a walk along the waterline before the reception and come back to the sand for a few frames at sunset, so your gallery and film feel like a day at the shore.
Inside the rooms: windows, terraces, and a floating staircase
Eventide sits above beach level with a wall of windows and dramatic views of the coastline, and its grand floating staircase leads down to the beachside terrace and the sand, which makes a natural spot for a grand entrance. Surfside, on the beach level, blends straight into its terrace and the sand. Natural textures and big windows give us soft daylight indoors well into the evening.
Getting ready and planning around the wind
The light on this stretch of coast is bright and changeable, and beach ceremonies mean wind, so we use wireless audio on the officiant and the couple, and we plan portrait timing around the tide line and the sunset instead of the clock.
Why Hire One Newport Beach House Wedding Photographer and Videographer Team
At Newport Beach House, the day moves from bright sun on the sand to sunset on the terraces and then a reception behind a wall of windows, so the light changes completely in a few hours. A photography team and a separate video team that have never worked together can easily step into each other's frames on a beach aisle.
Hiring one studio for both your Newport Beach House wedding photos and your wedding film means one shared walk along the waterline, wireless audio planned for a windy beach ceremony, and one consistent visual story from getting ready through the last dance.

Is Newport Beach House in Newport or Middletown?
The venue's address is 3 Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island, on the beach just outside downtown Newport. Longwood Venues markets it as a Newport venue, and most couples plan their wedding weekend around Newport hotels and restaurants.
Where does a Newport Beach House wedding ceremony take place?
Most ceremonies are on the beach, which the venue describes as southwest-facing and ideal for beachside weddings. The venue also says guests can celebrate indoors in rain or snow, so ask the Longwood team which indoor space backs up your beach ceremony.
How much does a Newport Beach House wedding cost?
Newport Beach House does not publish wedding pricing on its venue page, so contact Longwood Venues directly for current rates and minimums. For our photography and filmmaking collections, reach out with your wedding date.
What is the light like for Newport Beach House wedding photos and video?
With a southwest-facing beach, the afternoon and evening sun sits over the water, which gives warm, low light for portraits near sunset. Inside, the windows bring in daylight, and after dark we add directional off-camera lighting so toasts and dances stay bright and natural.
Can we have our whole wedding at Newport Beach House?
Yes. Couples can have the ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour on a terrace and the reception in Surfside or Eventide without leaving the property, and the venue offers complimentary parking on site. That keeps the day on one timeline and means no shuttle between ceremony and reception.
Can one studio handle both Newport Beach House wedding photography and wedding film?
Yes. Hiring one Newport Beach House wedding photographer and videographer team means your getting ready, a beach ceremony, sunset portraits on the sand and your reception in Surfside or Eventide run on a single coordinated timeline with one unified editorial look.
