A Beachside Wedding at Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club Isabella & Alex

Weddings

Isabella and Alex’s wedding at the Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club was a stunning celebration of love, energy, and family. The venue’s beautiful coastal setting provided a perfect backdrop for a day filled with light blue accents and elegance. It was a first for us shooting at this venue, and it certainly did not disappoint!

When planning their wedding, Isabella and Alex focused on what felt right to them. They didn’t follow a strict theme – just what made them happy! Their wedding had a beach and elegance vibe, with their light blue motif seamlessly tying in the coastal elements with timeless sophistication. This laid-back approach allowed them to create a day that felt uniquely theirs.

A beautiful family tradition was honored when Alex used the same cake-cutting set that his grandparents had used at their own wedding. This meaningful heirloom added an extra layer of sentimentality to their day. The reception was full of fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. After their first dance, Isabella and Alex treated their guests to a joint mother-son and father-daughter dance, which was such a beautiful and meaningful addition to the night. But the real highlight came when Isabella and Alex DJ’ed the party themselves! The energy was electric, and the dance floor was packed as their guests danced the night away. It was clear that this was a couple who loved to have fun and wanted their guests to have a blast.
