Fourth of July Wedding Bash at Clarks Landing

Samantha & Louis 7.4.21

Samantha & Louis’s Fourth of July wedding bash at Clarks Landing was an absolute blast! They are one of our couples whose wedding plans were affected by COVID. They chose to have a small backyard ceremony last October and to have their big wedding this year. The fact that it was the 4th of July made it even more special. We were so excited when the day finally arrived! We started the morning with our couple getting ready with their bridal party. Samantha looked incredible in her gorgeous Morilee dress. We spent some time with our bride and groom individually before heading to Monmouth University for our first look.

Although they had already done this last year, their first look was still incredibly special and emotional. Monmouth made for the perfect elegant backdrop for tons of gorgeous shots of our couple. Our bridal party came out too and we had fun capturing photos of them as well. The architecture and brightly shining sun gave us some really dramatic editorial photos, which we love!

After that, we made our way to Clarks Landing for some amazing photos outside before heading in for cocktail hour and reception. Of course we stopped at the dock for golden hour and then again at sunset for some epic photos. Samantha and Louis danced the night away, celebrating their marriage and having a blast with their friends and family. We are so glad we were there to celebrate with them in a grand fashion and wish them the very best together!
