Some love stories unfold slowly, and others feel like they’ve been waiting for their moment. Lauren and Brandon’s wedding was beautifully, intentionally both—an intimate beginning followed by a celebration full of joy, laughter, and the people who mean the most to them.
A few days before their main celebration, Lauren and Brandon gathered with immediate family at Saint John the Baptist Church for a private, heartfelt ceremony. It was quiet, emotional, and deeply personal—exactly the way they wanted to honor the start of their marriage.
When their wedding day at The Reeds at Shelter Haven in Stone Harbor, NJ arrived, the energy shifted into celebration mode. They spent the morning preparing surrounded by family and close friends before meeting for a private first look on the beach. The ocean breeze, soft sand, and that unmistakable Stone Harbor light created the perfect setting for their moment together. Their ceremony took place on The Reeds’ bayside deck, officiated by Lauren’s mom, which made the moment even more meaningful.
And then came the party. The reception was full of warmth, music, and the kind of dancing that only happens when everyone is genuinely happy to be there. Lauren and Brandon’s families showed up with their whole hearts, making the night unforgettable from start to finish.
It was a joy to capture two ceremonies, one love story, and one perfect day in Stone Harbor.
