Jenna and Steve’s Bonnet Island Estate wedding is full of beautiful inspiration! As New Jersey wedding photographers, we always love photographing at this coastal LBI venue. It’s one of our favorite venues for its timeless charm, natural light, and coastal elegance. This April wedding was no exception. With a soft, refined color palette of whites, mauve, relaxed pinks, and greenery, every detail was romantic, fresh, and perfectly suited to the season.
The day began in the Bonnet Island Estate bridal suite, a space we adore for getting ready photos. With big windows overlooking the bay, plenty of natural light, and a peaceful atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to start the wedding day. Jenna looked stunning as she slipped into her gown and shared moments with her closest people before heading to the chapel.
The couple’s first look took place inside the estate’s signature Boathouse Chapel. With its beautiful cobblestone fireplace adorned in florals and soft, even lighting throughout, it made for the dreamiest location to see each other for the first time. Steve’s reaction said it all! From there, we explored the grounds for portraits. The sun was shining, and the entire property was bursting with gorgeous backdrops, from waterfront views to lush greenery and elegant architecture.
Jenna and Steve exchanged vows back inside the chapel, this time surrounded by their loved ones. Their ceremony was intimate and emotional, highlighted by heartfelt personal vows and sweet glances across the aisle. After the ceremony, they popped champagne and kicked off the celebration! For the reception, the Bonnet Island Estate reception ballroom came to life with florals at every turn. Lush arrangements lined the tables, filling the space with color, texture, and elegance. Jenna and Steve danced the night away with their family and friends under the soft glow of chandeliers, surrounded by love and laughter.
