Congratulations to Carly and Derek! Their stunning wedding at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch, NJ was a true seaside fairytale.

From a heartfelt beach ceremony framed by ocean waves to a cozy cocktail hour on the porch and a breathtaking ballroom reception, every moment reflected their love and joy. The elegant details—black and gold vow books, pearl jewelry, and a “Lover” vinyl nod to Taylor Swift—set the tone for a celebration full of personality and heart.

Carly shared not only a touching father-daughter dance but also an emotional mother-daughter dance that left everyone teary-eyed. It was a day filled with laughter, happy tears, and timeless memories by the shore.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and beautiful sunsets together. 💍✨

Their first look unfolded in the stables — just the two of them, the scent of cedar, and one curious horse who clearly believes in true love. ✨
Congratulations to Nicole and Eddie!
