love these shots of sara + jarrid’s first look from their September wedding day ✨ sara is one of the kindest souls & when she reached out to me to help tie together the details for her tented wedding on their family farm, I immediately said yes!

with a lot of hard work, they transformed their property + barn over the course of many months and the result was the perfect spot for them to say I Do in front of their loved ones—— despite a storm that roared through earlier in the day but immediately cleared up seconds before Sara walked down the aisle ☀️

the sweetest engagement photos of kat + anthony by ✨ can’t wait for the magic of their 2024 wedding day 🥂

just a few more shots of all of the detail involved in Lisa + RJ’s colorful wedding day. Their wedding graphic design was created by friend of the bride & was inspired by the iconic movie poster as well as the couple’s roots.
the vellum printed menu cards mixed in with the citrus-y table florals, cabana stripe linen details and the seating chart coasters (all named after old school Belmar spots) all came together in such a cool way 🌊

Cheers to Monday (can that be a thing? 🥂) and the brand new, promising week ahead 🍾 ✨
