Ryann and Jack wanted a relaxed wedding day that still felt elegant. That was one of the reasons they wound up looking at Mantoloking Yacht Club. With the atmosphere of the Barnegat Bay and the romantic yacht club, they knew they’d found the perfect fit!

Ryann got ready right across the street from the yacht club, so I was able to get a sneak peek at the venue earlier in the day and it got me so excited to have it as a backdrop for their portrait session later on. I knew the gorgeous backlighting from over the bay was going to make for the dreamiest portraits, and stunning sunset photos, too!

For their ceremony, these two chose a traditional church ceremony and it was so emotional! There were lots of tears that we all found heartwarming and sweet. Afterwards, Ryann and Jack shared a trolley ride with their loved ones and then we headed to the docks for their portrait session. I personally loved photographing their day here – the beautiful views of the bay were second to none and the light-filled images we created are among my favorites of the season!

The reception included a white color palette brought to life by stunning florals filling the space. There were twinkle lights all around and beautiful greenery to complement them. You’ll have to see for yourself how beautiful it all turned out by scrolling through the post below.

Ryann and Jack, I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon in Newport and East Hampton! Congratulations on your marriage and enjoy every minute of getting settled into married life!
