Sam and Dan’s wedding day officially kicked off my 2023 wedding season! Although I have second shot quite a few weddings in early 2023, their wedding was the first of my own!

It was such a great day celebrating these two with their family and friends! I have quite literally probably said It a million and five times, but I truly have the BEST wedding couples ever. I have been so lucky to have the most down to earth and easy going couples. Our vibes and personalities go together so well and It makes wedding days that much better. BUT enough about me… here’s a look at their day!

Sam and Dan’s wedding took place at the stunning Asbury Hotel located in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The ceremony was on their rooftop with amazing views of the beach, boardwalk and the beautiful Asbury itself. It was an overcast day, but It made the lighting up there so bright and dreamy. I love an overcast day, it’s the best lighting!! The reception took place in their ballroom with the most pretty details that some great vendors put together which I will list below.

Sam and Dan are just the cutest ever! They both have goofy personalities which compliments them and their relationship so well. They are the couple that makes you feel like they’re friends you’ve known forever and it’s just the best feeling ever! Sam and Dan were surrounded by their closest family and friends on their wedding day. Boy did they know how to PARTY which made for some super fun reception photos!! Days after the wedding, I had other clients and followers from Instagram messaging me how amazing their wedding day looked and that the photos complimented them as a couple so well despite even knowing them. I think that’s pretty freaking awesome?!!!
