Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club: A White Tie Affair~New Jersey Wedding Photography

Kelly & Sean met through mutual friends four years ago and enjoyed a Saturday dating ritual of biking from Hoboken to Palisades Park. It was on one of those very dates that Sean proposed under the George Washington Bridge.  They wanted an elegant white tie wedding and choose the beautiful Eagle Oaks Golf & Country Club for their big day.  Kelly looked gorgeous in her fitted La Sposa gown from Wedding Atelier in NYC.  She sported an elegant up-do and flawless makeup from MAC in Shrewsbury.  For her something borrowed she chose a diamond & ruby bracelet from her mother, while her father proudly displayed her first pair of baby shoes, a reminder of his little girl. Her girls looked stunning in long black gowns by Bill Levkoff paired with asymmetrical green bouquets from Narcissus Florals in Toms River.  Sean looked positively dashing in his white tie tux from Hugo Boss as him and his groomsmen shared a celebratory whiskey.  The lovely couple entered the grand ballroom, decorated with beautiful orchids, with a serenade of sparklers.  The beautiful invites by DB Custom Designs echoed the orchid and green accent theme.  The Fuzzpops were amazing and kept the crowd on the dance floor all night!

Oyster Point Hotel: Katie & Michael : Monmouth County Wedding Photographers

Katie and Michael seemed destined to meet, and it was Michael's mother who first saw the possibility.  Mrs. Daley was Katie's instructor when she was training to be a nurse anesthetist and she just saw the two hitting it off. It wouldn't be until much later that the couple meet. As fate would have it the couple ended up meeting by chance while on routine rounds, and they just clicked.  Michael ended up proposing on the boardwalk in New Jersey.

After that night on the boardwalk wedding preparations were in full swing, and Katie and Michael decided to bring in Jessica Stasinos of  The Social Butterfly to help plan their event.  The Social Butterfly even did the invitations of rich warm brown with decorative pink scroll-work.

Katie looked like royalty in her cream Emerald Couture gown with all its delicate beading and layering that she found at The Elegant Alternatives in Spring Lake.  The bridesmaids were stunning in their satin strapless gowns in a lovely classic pink by Bill Levkoff that Katie found on Antoinette Rose Bridal Boutique.  Vanity and Mascara provided the hair and makeup opting for soft flowing curls, smokey eyes, and a pale pink lip color.

The ceremony was held at the Elberon Memorial Church which provided a beautiful backdrop for photos with its vintage cedar exterior and green accents.

The reception took place at the Oyster Point Hotel a 'contemporary boutique hotel tucked away on the Navesink River'.  Stem. & Co provided the beaufiul floral arrangements with a variety of blooms in shades of pink, orange, and cream accented with delicate chains of crystals.

The centerpieces included whimsical miniature trees adorned with hanging "kissing balls" of pink and cream roses and crystals.  Iridescent silk bows with pink, green, and purple undertones were the finishing touch on classic gold chairs.  The cake was made by Oyster Point.

The Philadelphia Funk Authority entertained the crowd while Katie and Michael stole a kiss on the dance floor.
