A Classic Spring Wedding in Spring Lake, New Jersey

Samantha and Garrett’s The Essex & Sussex wedding was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and pure joy. Following a beautiful church ceremony at St. Michael’s in Long Branch, the newlyweds celebrated surrounded by family and friends, with a classic Jersey Shore backdrop for their portraits and festivities.
A soft palette of white, blue and fresh greenery carried throughout the day, from Samantha’s gorgeous bouquet from Flower Barn At Locust Pointe and the bridesmaids’ pale blue gowns to the delicate floral details. Samantha was simply stunning in her classic gown and lace-trimmed veil, while Garrett looked perfectly timeless in black tie.
And then there was that red trolley! One of my favorite touches of the day—and the perfect pop of color for such a joyful wedding party. The celebration continued at The Essex & Sussex, where Samantha and Garrett’s wedding reception was filled with beautiful details, laughter and plenty of dancing.
Samantha and Garrett, it was such a pleasure capturing this beautiful day for you. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness! Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding day. Be sure to take a peek at their featured wedding gallery here.
