We’re so excited to share Anna & Matthew’s vibrant ICONA Avalon wedding! From a heartfelt church ceremony to beachside portraits and a lively reception, this wedding is a true testament to love and joy. The day began with Anna getting ready in a guest suite at this beachfront New Jersey wedding venue. She had the biggest smile on her face the entire time! We’re gushing over her romantic gown from The Ivory Concept.
The color palette of this wedding was a burst of sunshine – vibrant oranges and sunny yellows that perfectly mirrored the warmth of summer. The floral arrangements were a sight to behold, with stunning bouquets and arrangements adorned with an array of orange and yellow flowers. The festivities began at a charming local church, where family and friends gathered to witness the union of two souls. Anna walked down the aisle with a radiant smile, as Matthew awaited her with eyes full of love.
Following the ceremony, the couple and their bridal party made their way to the Avalon beach for a portrait session. The blue skies and white sand made a backdrop of serenity, perfect for a summer wedding. It was such an honor capturing candid moments of laughter, joy, and the raw emotions from this couple and their bridal party.
The reception took place at the iconic ICONA Avalon, where the couple and their guests were greeted by a lively atmosphere and breathtaking ocean views. The decor was an extension of the summer color palette, with tables adorned in vibrant linens and floral arrangements that continued to enchant. As the evening unfolded, laughter filled the air, and heartfelt toasts were raised to the newlyweds’ happiness.
As the day waned, the couple stole a few moments away to capture romantic portraits on the beach at sunset. The sky lit up as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was such a dreamy backdrop for portraits! We can’t wait for you to see the magic. A&M, thank you for having us capture your beautiful day!
