McLoone's Pier House Wedding | Danielle + Matt

Danielle and Matt’s wedding was incredible! We had the most GORGEOUS day of the year and their entire wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful. We started off the morning with the girls at the Sheraton in Eatontown which has some amazing window light coming in for detail photos. Danielle’s details were all so uniquely beautiful from her jewelry down to her shoes. Danielle’s dress was a stunning blush pink that really complemented her and the florals. Speaking of florals, Amber and Earth knocked it out of the park! Literally every floral from the bouquets to the center pieces, to the boutonnieres were absolutely gorgeous. So vibrant and summery! We did an adorable first look on the grand stair case and then hopped on the trolly for some bridal portraits at the Asbury Park Boardwalk. We had a blast finding different murals to use as a backdrop as well as the convention hall and the old casino there. Danielle incorporated her love for stars in almost every aspect of her wedding so it was totally meant to be when we found this huge lit up star on the boardwalk! We were all so excited! These two are just too stinkin’ cute together! They are so comfortable with each other and were just melting right into each pose. We then headed over to our final destination for the night, McLoone’s Pier House where we glided through bridal party and family photos. We had a good amount of time to spare before the ceremony. Danielle & Matt were able to enjoy cocktail hour with their friends and family while we captured the gorgeous details of the reception! The ceremony was simple and sweet and before you knew we were heading down to the beach for the sunset. Sneaking out for sunset photos is always one of my favorite things to do at Mcloones, even when it’s a little cloudy it’s always SO worth it! The rest of the night was filled with lots of smiles and dancing. Danielle and Matt are such a fun couple and their music choices fit them so perfectly. They brought it back with some 90’s music which is always the best. Everyone had an amazing time on the dance floor! I am SO excited for these two and it was such an honor to capture their most special day!

Thank you so much Danille & Matt!

Enjoy the photos!

McLoone's Pier House Wedding | Jamie + Dan | NJ Wedding Photography

What a year it has been! I have had the honor of photographing 12 gorgeous couples and Jamie and Dan’s wedding was such a WONDERFUL way to end my wedding season. These two are so cute and I have been looking forward to this wedding all year! It was a cold and super windy day but that didn’t stop these two from fully enjoying their day AND taking photos outside on the beach! They were both such good sports about being out there and the photos make it all worth it! Jamie got ready with her mom and girls in an awesome Airbnb in Ocean Grove. It was just a 2 minute walk to the beach where Jamie and Dan shared their first look. After quickly snapping some photos on the beach and board walk we booked it back to the house to warm up. I loved taking some fun bridal party photos on the porch there! The party all headed over on the trolley to a little park in Asbury Park for more portraits. The trees and leaves on the ground were gorgeous and the colors of the girls dresses were perfect for this Fall/Beach wedding! One of my favorite photos of the day is everyone throwing leaves up into the air. When that many people throw leaves at the same time, it makes for an epic photo haha. I don’t know how these two were able to stay out in the cold for so long but I’m so thankful they did because it was such a pretty location! The ceremony at McLoone’s was performed by one of the groomsmen and it was so beautiful. The rest of the night seemed to fly by! Cocktail hour was amazing as always and there were a lot of laughs and a few tears shed during the speeches. Jeff from SCE Event Group did a fantastic job keeping the guests dancing all night long! Their Photo Booth was also a hit with guests popping in and out throughout the whole night. This wedding was so much fun and I loved working with this sweet couple so much! Thank you guys for being amazing and for choosing me and my team to capture your special day!

Congratulations Jamie + Dan

Enjoy the photos!!!

McLoone's Pier House Wedding | Maura + Chris

I don’t even know where to begin with this one! Maura + Chris’ Fall wedding at McLoone’s Pier house was absolutely incredible. It was such a joy-filled day from beginning to end. Maura and her bridesmaids got ready at her parents house. The girls had the CUTEST pajamas to get ready in and they made for adorable photos! Maura looked breathtaking in her gown from Belle Bridal. I literally couldn’t stop taking photos of her! Chris and Maura had a beautiful ceremony at Our Lady Star of the Sea, which is one of my favorite churches in the area, and also happens to be walking distance to their reception at McLoone’s! This was a really fun bunch to work with and we had a lot of fun on the beach taking bridal party photos. Once it was time for bride and groom portraits these dark clouds started to roll in and made the sky look dramatically beautiful. The florals by Amber & Earth were incredible and the decor Marua + Chris chose was just perfect for their beach wedding. The way these two looked at each other throughout the day was truly beautiful to witness. Their love and excitement to be married and be surrounded with their family and friends was so evident. The reception was a ton of fun and the dancing never stopped. I feel so blessed to have such amazing couples to work with. It was such an honor to capture Chris and Maura’s wedding day! 

Congratulations you two! Enjoy the photos :)
