A Wedding On The Water At The Reeds At Shelter Haven
Jackie & Stephen’s gorgeous wedding took place on the water at The Reeds at Shelter Haven in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The invitation suite is one of our favorites! You’ll love the custom invites by Raise Your Words Design. Jackie got ready in the sky suite at The Reeds, where she popped champagne with her girls and stepped into her dream dress. The couple’s first look took place on a nearby dock, with the blue water sparkling behind them. There was a light breeze that made for the perfect veil moment!
The couple’s pup (named Pizza!) joined them for a few family portraits before we made our way back to the Reeds to meet up with the bridal party. After portraits, we took a stroll around the downtown area to the ice cream shop Springers, where the couple has family ties. The romantic bayside ceremony space was perfect for a summer wedding. Jackie & Stephen said “I do” in front of a floral, circular arch created by florist Manic Botanic.
The reception room at this Stone Harbor wedding was adorned with lush florals and romantic candles. After their first dance, Jackie & Stephen made their way to the dock outside of The Reeds for some dreamy sunset portraits. The way the sun drops over the water at this South Jersey venue is what we dream about! After, they took a private walk around downtown SH to enjoy some time alone in the quiet beach town. Scroll to see the magic!
