A long awaited event for me, my first wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club on Long Beach Island, NJ. It’s a beautiful new venue “down the shore” and I couldn’t wait to finally photograph a wedding there. Susan wore a beautiful Vera Wang gown paired wait a very sparkly pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. I’m sure all their guests knew they were in for a very special wedding when their Save the Date and Invitations arrived. Check out the magnificent stationary by Two Paper Dolls of Philadelphia! There was even a cutout band on the couples invitation and 3 different wedding program covers. I love visual design and these were a treat. Claudia Seyler was on hand for makeup and hair for everyone and dresser Brenda Olivas made sure Susan was perfectly dressed and even tied the perfect “Vera Wang” sash! I love the 2 moms looking on! Susan and Tony had a “first look” prior to their ceremony. They had wanted to do some couple pictures ahead of time but the afternoon temperature was 103 degrees! We decided to be a little flexible and wait until the sun went down a bit. Stay tuned for an amazingly beautiful ceremony designed by Beautiful Blooms Events .
