Amanda and Matt's Windrift Beach Wedding - Windrift Hotel Wedding - South Jersey Wedding Photographer

Amanda and Matt had the most gorgeous wedding at the Windrift hotel in Avalon, NJ. The Windrift is a favorite of mine because it provides a stunning backdrop and they are awesome to work with. How can you go wrong with the stunning, blue reception room and a wedding on the beach?!

Matt and Amanda got ready at the hotel in their suites. It was a very relaxed morning full of laughs and some champagne! The weather was perfect for their ceremony on the beach and then portraits after. The sunlight on the beach was ah-ma-zing! The dunes behind the Windrift are always a favorite spot of mine for portraits. The sun just peaks over the top in a beautiful way that perfectly backlights the couple.

After we were done with the ceremony and portraits we headed inside for delicious food and the party! We love when the dance floor is packed and Amanda and Matt’s friend’s didn’t disappoint! They came ready to dance! It was such an amazing day from start to end!

Rustic Backyard Wedding in South Jersey

Wedding season this year has mostly been postponed so it felt so nice to get back to work last weekend! Lindsay and DeWayne’s rustic backyard wedding was my first wedding back since the corona virus shut New Jersey down. I met them for their first look outside Lindsay’s family home and then we explored the farm. I was in heaven with a Harley Davidson, a big tractor, a vintage truck and lots of beautiful land to work with! We had fun taking portraits around the farm then did bridal party pictures before their intimate ceremony. Their ceremony was filled with the perfect amount of touching moments and laughs over personal touches they added to their vows. Lindsay and DeWayne then made a grand entrance into their reception on DeWayne’s Harley! I finished up the evening capturing their first dances and the touching speeches their friends and family gave. It was such a wonderful day from start to finish and the perfect way to jump back into weddings!
