i first met nina & josh in august when i photographed their newborn son, zachary. they told me about the beach wedding that they were planning and i knew right away that it would be fun. basically they rented a stunning home in brigantine, nj, got married on the beach and had the reception inside the house. we left before midnight…. though i am sure the celebration was still going on long after. it was such a fun, laid back and emotional wedding. everything about it was perfect!

a few details….

while nina was getting her hair done i noticed her mom watching and kind of drift off into a daydream. it was really sweet….

what the girls were doing….. what the boys were doing….

the beautiful beach ceremony… only a short walk from the house

both josh & nina wrote their own vows. they were beautiful. it was an emotional ceremony with more than a couple of tears…

i mentioned little Zachary, and here he is! every time i have seen him he is so pleasant.
beautiful baby. beautiful family.

the super fun bridal party!

these crack me up!

i knew nina & josh were going to be great for photographs and they were. they didn’t hold back at all and were up for most anything. they are so in love and that really shines through.

apparently everyone wanted a peek at the bride.
how cute that in the one i told them both to look at the view…. and they did. haha

off into the sunset! …and on to the reception!

it was so dark outside that basically i was just taking pictures and hoping for the best. i especially love that in this one, one of the guys has 2 sets of glasses on his head.

a broken glass…

led to some massive mid-party cleaning! they all look so good doing it too….

the night was absolutely beautiful. the ocean was still warm. there was a cool breeze. and so many stars in the sky….

congratulations, nina & josh!! thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day!!!
