Capturing the Coast: Top 10 Spots for Wedding Photos in Southern Rhode Island

When you live in a place as stunning as South County, you don’t have to travel far for world-class backdrops. At Postma Photography, we spend our days scouting the hidden gems and iconic landmarks that make Southern Rhode Island a premier destination for couples.

Whether you’re planning an intimate anniversary session or your "Big Day," here are the top 10 locations to capture your legacy.

1. The Towers (Narragansett)

Nothing says "Rhode Island Wedding" like the iconic stone arch of The Towers. Overlooking the Narragansett Town Beach, it offers a dramatic, historic vibe that feels both regal and coastal.

2. Watch Hill Lighthouse (Westerly)

For a quintessential New England feel, the Watch Hill Lighthouse is unmatched. The path leading down offers beautiful greenery, while the lighthouse itself provides a classic nautical silhouette against the Atlantic.

3. Beavertail State Park (Jamestown)

If you want rugged cliffs and crashing waves, this is the spot. The rocky shoreline and the panoramic views of the ocean make for high-drama, "epic" photography—especially during the golden hour.

4. Napatree Point (Watch Hill)

For couples who want a more secluded, natural beach look, Napatree Point offers sweeping dunes and long stretches of sand that feel a world away from the summer crowds.

5. Point Judith Lighthouse (Narragansett)

Located at the tip of the peninsula, this lighthouse is surrounded by a charming stone wall and offers incredible sunset views. It's a favorite for "first looks" and anniversary sessions.

6. Wilcox Park (Westerly)

Looking for something other than the beach? This Victorian strolling park in the heart of downtown Westerly features lush gardens, a majestic fountain, and stone bridges that add a touch of timeless romance.

7. Black Point (Narragansett)

A local favorite, Black Point features a scenic trail that opens up to unique rock formations and "the ruins"—a stone structure that provides a moody, architectural element to your coastal shots.

8. Arcadia Management Area (Exeter/Hopkinton)

If you’re a couple that loves the woods, Arcadia is our backyard gem. With its towering pines, hidden ponds, and rustic trails, it’s the perfect spot for a "warm and woodsy" engagement session.

9. Ocean House (Watch Hill)

Perched on a bluff, this yellow-hued luxury landmark offers meticulously manicured lawns and private beach access. It’s the height of coastal elegance for couples seeking a high-end editorial look.

10. Camp Cronin (Narragansett)

Tucked away at the end of Ocean Road, the breakwater wall here offers a unique perspective of the Harbor of Refuge. It’s a rugged, authentic spot that truly captures the spirit of Southern RI.
