As spring began to tease us with its warmer weather, we were thrilled to capture Grace and Patrick’s March nuptials! The bride, radiant in her sophisticated and chic strapless sweetheart gown, truly stole the show. Her hair was elegantly styled in a sleek bun, complemented by stunning teardrop diamond earrings that sparkled with every movement. But it was her emerald green shoes that added a delightful pop of color, perfectly accentuating her timeless look!
The day began with one of the most cherished moments — the first look. Watching the bride share this emotional experience with her dad was heartwarming. Their joyous laughter filled the air, embodying the love shared between father and daughter as they prepared for the big day. Meanwhile, the groom took a few candid moments for himself, reflecting on the day and enjoying a cold drink while his groomsmen helped him with his Villanova cuff links, adding a touch of camaraderie to the excitement.
The ceremony at St. Rose’s Church was a moving experience, transforming laughter into tears of joy as the couple exchanged their vows among family and friends. It was a moment of pure emotion, crowned with applause and celebration after they said their “I do’s.”
With the weather warming, we made our way to the stunning Belmar Beach for some portrait time. Despite the slight breeze, it worked to our advantage, creating a beautiful scene as the bride’s veil billowed gracefully in the wind!
Back at Clarks Landing, the emerald and ivory color scheme continued to shine in the beautifully decorated ballroom. The couple shared their first dance, surrounded by loved ones as they swayed to their favorite songs. As the sun began to set, they stepped out onto the venue’s balcony for evening portraits, soaking in the moment and the stunning view.
As the night progressed, the bride changed into a sparkly mini dress—a perfect choice for the intimate setting of the venue’s bar. Here, we captured some more editorial shots of the couple, encapsulating their joy and excitement as they celebrated with friends and family, dancing and laughing well into the night.
