Long Beach Island Ocean Front Wedding

Photographer’s Comments: “Tiffany & Jon had a stunning beach-font wedding ceremony on the Atlantic Ocean with a tented reception at the Long Beach Island  Foundation for Arts and Sciences wedding reception.

“The Foundation of Arts and Sciences is an exceptionally unique wedding venue. It features a large interior space with super-high ceilings to house its art gallery. The space is best described as industrial-art-chic.

“Tiffany and Jon chose to get married on the beach down the street from Jon’s family home. Afterwards, they walked down the street to celebrate at their cocktail hour in the gallery at the LBIF, followed by a stunning sailcloth tented reception.”

“Jon and Tiffany met in the Summer of 2015. They meet in classic summer-romance fashion: Tiffany was on vacation with her family on Long Beach Island, NJ, and went out for the evening at a local dive bar. After an hour of discretely admiring his dimples and dark brown eyes from across the room, Tiffany finally built up the courage to approach him. Jon asked for her number, and two days later they went on their first date for lunch. The rest is history!

“Tiffany and Jon planned a beautiful wedding filled with gorgeous florals and a pale pink and cream palette. But the core of their wedding day design centered on finding beautiful ways to incorporate their love of family in their special day. Among Tiffany’s bridesmaids was the groom’s grandmother. Tiffany chose to be escorted down the aisle by both her father and her brother, and the groom’s best man was his father.

“The weather was a little spotty leading up to the week of Tiffany and Jon’s wedding, but boy did it ever hold out for these two love birds! They ended up getting one of the most beautiful days on the beach to celebrate surrounded by family and friends! There was a moment or two, where we considered putting their rain plan into action. But there was no need, when the weather shifted the day before, they were treated to a stunning afternoon, evening and OMG, the sunset!”
