There is nothing I love more then intimate weddings, and mixed with my love for the beach, we sure loved enjoying both at once. When rearranging their wedding plans due to covid 19, Cassandra and Matthew couldn’t imagine any place better to say I Do. This was a special place for them as they already had memories in this quaint Cape may home. Now, of course, those memories spent with family here are even sweeter.

Cassandra + Matthew have a love for detail. This creative couple had an abundance of special details for me to capture. The Blush tones with the pops of magenta mixed with ivory set the tone for this whimsical backyard intimate setting. So much thought went into planning this day…. The girls got ready in the homes master bedroom and garnished the room with balloons.

Some of my favorite moments on this day was when Cassandra + Matthew exchanged letters privately before their ceremony. This was such a special moment for them and so heartfelt, It was an emotional moment for sure. On the sillier side, the couple riding off into the sunset on their beach cruisers was one of the most fun moments to capture. Last but not least, when Matthew played and sang a song during the reception that he had written for Cassandra…. Watching the two of them in that moment brought tears to everyone.

The Couple exchanged vows under a wooden arch adorned in florals and flowing sheers with their closest family + friends as witness. The live music played by Casey Marley Breidenbach truly made for an unforgettable day.

Dancing under twinkle lights, Serenades on guitar, family gathered close, many laughs, tears, and so much joy.
