Eileen and Jim chose a sunny April day for their wedding in Cape May, Nj at the Southern Mansion. We started with a few getting ready images and headed over to the beach for the first look and bridal party portraits. The ceremony took place on the lawn of the Southern Mansion. We had a great time capturing their day.
Here is a glimpse!
I arrived to begin with Eileen at the Southern Mansion. She was just having her makeup completed. I grabbed some detail shots before she got into her dress.
First look at the final makeup.
The flowers were so perfect, they went great with bridesmaids dresses and the whole beachy feel.
Putting on moms corsage
Eileens Mom was peaking in as we did some portraits.
This is the house Jim was getting ready and it was really neat.
First look was at the beach. It took a little while to find a spot to park because the perfect weather had everyone at the beach.
Sweetest first look!
Just told the girls to get in close and act casual-cool. This is what we got!
Taking some portraits of Eileen solo.
Jim was also taking portraits of Eileen! :)
Jim’s parent’s walking down to join us at the water. Luckily Jim pointed this out to us and we grabbed this image.
Tim loves getting low for a different perspective.
We had to!
I really enjoyed shooting in the straight on sun this day. It was perfect!
The ceremony site at the Southern Mansion
Dad walked Eileen down the aisle and there were quite a few teary eyes.
These guys met at a new years eve party when Eileen grabbed Jim for a kiss for the new year.
They did a whiskey ceremony which I loved. Each of them poured their own whiskey into the barrel to create their own custom blend just for their wedding ceremony
Cocktail hour took place on the lawn.
Check me out getting in my own detail shot.
Bustling the dress
Details at the dinner were great.
Heartfelt and perfect speeches.
Jim’s Dad was his best man so you know his speech was good!
Headed out for a couple sunset portraits before dinner was served.
Some dancing….
Playing with light.
They did cupcakes in lieu of cake and everything looked delicious.
The party continued downstairs where the dances and dancing began.
Put the rings on one of their glasses from the ceremony.ue
