When Angeline told me that her wedding to Jason would be a laid back beach affair at the Whitebrier, a popular restaurant in Avalon, I was thrilled to see it all come together. For this couple who met down the shore (The Princeton), decor would be a dose of modern meets rustic, with a beachy twist of course. Starfish, shell and driftwood accents were met with the romance of late Summer florals and greenery. Angeline's Nicole Miller gown was simple but perfect; her sisters wore mint gowns with a similiar neckline. My favorite moments were Angeline and her sisters sharing a snuggly moment with the family dogs, and bridal portraits on the beach of bride and groom. Even though Angeline and Jason's wedding day was stormy and wet, they both embraced the weather wholeheartedly for the sake of photos, and I love them for that. The newlyweds didn't want guests to feel tied down to the normal formalities of a traditional sit-down dinner, so they opted for a free range buffet, allowing guests to mingle throughout the evening. They shared a first dance surrounded by almost 200 people in the Whitebrier's Mermaid Bar and enjoyed an after party at where else, The Princeton. Congrats to the beautiful Angeline and Jason!! <3
