It was such a joy photographing Alex & James’ Hotel LBI wedding! The entire day was planned to perfection, and this Jersey Shore wedding venue is quickly becoming one of our new favorites. Hotel LBI is a coastal haven where seaside charm meets modern luxury. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Long Beach Island, this esteemed hotel was an enchanting setting for this summertime wedding! The entire venue combines the tranquility of the beach with contemporary sophistication.
The day started in a gorgeous suite with a balcony overlooking the bay. We love all of the attention to detail from this couple while planning their wedding day. The invitation suite by Art Paper Scissors Design was absolutely beautiful. Alex had the biggest smile on her face the entire day. The couple’s first look took place on one of the long balconies that wrap around the hotel. We love how the exterior adds to the coastal vibe! Later, the bridal party gathered on the rooftop for some Summer portraits. Everywhere you look at this LBI wedding venue is picturesque! The ceremony took place inside in the ballroom, with an aisle adorned with florals and greenery. Alex & James were filled with joy during their vows, which was so much fun to capture.
Hotel LBI’s elegant reception space provided an exquisite backdrop for the celebration. The contemporary design, infused with coastal accents, offered a perfect blend of sophistication and relaxed charm. The reception hall was adorned with soft hues inspired by the sea—subtle blues, sandy neutrals, and hints of shimmering gold. The tables sparkled with elegant centerpieces featuring tropical florals, creating an ambiance of coastal chic. During the sunset, we snuck out to the balcony for some golden hour portraits with Alex & James. The two cut the cake, enjoyed toasts, and danced the night away with family & friends. It was an honor to work with this sweet couple. A&J, thank you for having us! Scroll to see the magic.
