Emily & Sean

Summer beach elopement wedding in Cape May, New Jersey

What a day to get married in Cape May, NJ! This elopement was so intimate, romantic, and just FULL of love!

There’s something about elopements that are just so special. Take out all the fluff, the reception, the big party and you have two people madly in love, simply enjoying each and every moment together while saying I DO. I felt like a part of the family and it warmed my heart to be allowed to document their special day.

Emily & Sean are from upstate New York, but are avid beach lovers. They rented a BEAUTIFUL beach house property RIGHT along the beach. Their closest friends and immediate family stayed at the house with them and witnessed their vows.

Emily & Sean did a first look right on the balcony porch of the beach house. I REALLY, REALLY, love first looks. I get butterflies in my stomach along with the couple capturing it. The excitement on Sean’s face said it all! When they turned around and saw each other, I just stepped back and captured the moments.

They had their ceremony on the balcony over looking the beach. You could hear the beach in the background as they said their vows- which was simply beautiful. Something really unique about their vows was the time capsule. Emily & Sean gathered their dating memories and special items into a beautiful wooden box. They had written each other letters over the years and kept them in here. They asked the family members to write letters of love to them and each person put the letter in the time capsule for them to open it many years down the road to look back on. They even got sand from the beach in a small vile to cherish with them.

After saying I DO, we ventured over to the beach for family photos and their portraits. Following the photos, we watched the beautiful sunset in the background which completed the magical photos.

Doesn’t it sound like a fairytale?

Emily and Sean’s beautiful intimate beach wedding in Cape May, NJ was a wedding to remember and such a honor to document.

Emily & Sean: I loved being a part of your wedding day and being there to capture it all! Thank you for making me feel so welcomed , loved and a part of the family. – Heather
