Weddings might look different this year, but intimate celebrations like this prove your nuptials can be just as special, even during a pandemic. It’s filled with pretty details you’d see in a large-scale celebration, including their invitation suite, ring, welcome signage, florals, and even a sweetheart table! Not to mention, the waterside backdrop for their intimate ceremony amongst their nearest and dearest was such a heartfelt moment. And how can we forget those portraits bursting at the seams with newlywed happiness. We’ll just let the photos below captured by Courtney Simpson Photography LLC do all the talking! Take a peek below.
From Courtney Simpson Photography…Kristina and William were to be wed on May 29th, 2020 at The Breakers on the ocean in Spring Lake NJ. Due to the unfortunate circumstances with the Corona Virus putting all couples around the worlds most looked forward to day on hold, Kristina and Billy were not allowing Covid-19 to ruin their dream of becoming husband and wife on May 29th.
You never would have guessed Kristina purchased her bohemian-style gown online. The Lulus dress was a long-sleeved chiffon maxi dress with cross back and jewels. She finished off her look with a rhinestone headpiece, makeup by Xena Makeup Artistry, and a blush toned Michelle’s Flower Bar bouquet for an exquisite and effortless bridal look.
Their love for the water led them to land the perfect location for the couple to exchange vows in the most intimate setting with their closest family and their 3 children. The Dock they frequently go fishing off of was the perfect location for Kristina and Billy to make it official.
Once the vows were exchanged the couple celebrated with a bottle of champagne, portraits, and their first dance as husband and wife on their back deck. When there is love there is always a way.
A bottle of champagne and custom signage is an absolute must-have for a fun elopement photo opportunity! We just love that “we do, we did, we eloped” sign.
And what’s a celebration without a table for two, personalized details, romantic candlelight, and of course, cake?!
