I first met Mason and Morgan at Branon and Celeste’s wedding at The Vie, and got to know them a lot better during their engagement session at Congress Hall in Cape May. I’d been looking forward to their wedding day for a long time, so I brought our A-team of photo and video.

The day couldn’t have gone better. The weather was beautiful, and there were so many special moments, some emotional and some laugh-out-loud funny. Their family and bridal party treated us like part of the family from start to finish, and that always shows in the photos: the more we can blend in, the more natural, unposed moments we can capture without anyone noticing the camera. It was also a day full of familiar faces and old friends I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Morgan and Mason got ready at ICONA Diamond Beach in Wildwood, said their vows at Sacred Heart Church in Avalon, and rode back to the resort on a trolley with their wedding party. ICONA is a beautiful resort, and the beach and ocean are only a handful of steps out the back, which makes for a gorgeous portrait backdrop. We made the most of it with the palm trees, the high dunes and an old jetty.

The reception was one hell of a party. The dance floor never slowed down, and their family and friends celebrated with them all night long.
