If you’re planning in April, Newport has a bunch of areas covered in daffodils that make for some really beautiful pictures. There’s Dunlap Wheeler park next to first beach that ends up as a beautiful daffodil-covered park that would be really pretty.

Rocky point park has the big hill overlooking the water, or two beach areas.

The topiary garden in Newport is really pretty too but costs some admission to get in. Lovely gardens/grounds though.

Winterhawk vineyard in Kingston is tucked way back in the woods and is rustic and pretty. I went on a wine tasting there and the guy who runs it was so incredibly, earnestly nice and accommodating I’m betting he’d work with whatever budget you have to make an elopement special.

A little unconventional/out of the box but for the ceremony, the pier/gazebos at Gorton Pond in Warwick would be pretty I think. It’s really picturesque. You’d want to go somewhere separate for a reception. Depending on your party size and budget, Vanda is just down the road from there and the food is delicious.
