Last November, I had the honor of documenting Mr. and Mrs. Hearns’ beautiful Stone Harbor New Jersey Wedding Day! From start to finish, the day overflowed with pure love and endless excitement. The Reeds at Shelter Haven, located right by the water, was the perfect location for their celebration. The crisp autumn air added a delightful touch to the atmosphere, setting the stage for a day filled with unforgettable memories!

The Start of Something Beautiful

First, the morning buzzed with so much energy as the bride and her girls got ready. The room was alive with laughter, shared stories, and a few happy tears as the bride slipped into her stunning dress. Meanwhile, Mr. Hearns was just down the hall, adjusting his tie and sharing jokes with his groomsmen to ease a few nerves. Their first look was a beautiful moment, filled with anticipation and endless joy, and it was clear that this moment would set the tone for the rest of the day!

A Ceremony by the Water

Next, the outdoor ceremony overlooked the gorgeous waters, creating a breathtaking backdrop as the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows. Guests watched on, smiles wide, as Mr. and Mrs. Hearns declared their love for one another. As the sun began to set, the couple and their bridal party took photos, capturing smiles, laughter, and the genuine happiness that filled the air. Their cocktail hour was so lively with guests enjoying each other’s stories and the promise of an incredible evening ahead.

An Evening of Unforgettable Moments

Finally, the reception was an absolute blast! Delicious food and upbeat music had everyone on their feet (as well as delicious cocktails), celebrating the newlyweds! But the surprise of the night—and my personal favorite moment—was when the bridal party brought out giant cutouts of the couple’s dogs! The room erupted in laughter, a perfect reflection of the couple’s fun and loving spirit. It was a unique highlight that added so much fun to an already amazing celebration!

In every way, the Stone Harbor New Jersey Wedding Day of Mr. and Mrs. Hearns was a storybook celebration of love and joy. Every moment felt authentic and special, a true testament to the couple’s journey together! The Reeds at Shelter Haven provided a stunning backdrop, and as the night ended, one thing was clear: This was a day everyone present would cherish forever!

Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Hearns!

“Brit was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding.”

“Where do I begin?! Brit was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Her energy, talent, and creativity is unmatched! My family is now obsessed with her (as am I) and in the words of my mom, she’s a photo-taking “ninja.” We will cherish the moments she captured on our wedding day forever and I cannot wait to work with her again! Truly a gem.” -Caroline
