Astor's Beechwood Mansion has been a loved location of mine since 2004. Not only does is offer spectacular views, a great house with an amazing veranda, and a perfect bridal suite, it also has a superb staff that treats everyone (including us) with kindness, class, and genuine caring. It is refreshing and we appreciate any establishment that is sophisticated enough to respect everyone's participation in the day. I say that because I am beginning to believe that is why they attract such incredible couples and families! I have never, not once, had anything but perfection at this location.
This couple had planned the day to spend with their guests, no cramming in pictures here. There was plenty of time to get the images done BEFORE the cocktail hour, so they could relax, and just be with guests as much as possible. It also offered up tons of time to stop by the Cliff Walk in Newport for a little added view, and it allowed us to really get some amazing and comfortable images. Extra time, although is not required, certainly allows for a little extra creativity in images. Another added bonus for me was-once we were done with the planned photos- the candids were just as great, just as creative and even more fun. Happy.
The groom in this couple has a serious love and knowledge of photography. It is always the biggest compliment to have the opportunity to work with someone who "gets" it in pictures. A special thank you J.

Well, all I can say is WOW! We had an absolutely perfect day and we will never forget it due to the professionalism, creativity and vision of Krista Handfield!
There were so many great moments but the most fun I had during the whole wedding was taking the pictures! Seriously an awesome time and Krista made it fun for the whole wedding party while still keeping us knuckle heads in line and on schedule. -Pat Urban
