Some days everything just goes as planned. The weather is good, the venue is nice and the bride and groom are fantastic to work with. That was the case this past weekend for Susan and Bob's wedding at the Stockton Seaview Resort in Galloway, NJ. The venue was right on Reed's Bay and the room overlooked the water. It was simply gorgeous.

Susan is very crafty and made some of the cutest wedding day signs and decorations. It's all about the details, right?

Wedding on the Bay in Galloway, NJ

bellemorephoto@gmail.com — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 08:25:00 -0700

I went to Stockton College in Galloway, NJ for four years and I even lived in the area. I had known of Stockton Seaview Resort but had not stepped foot inside of it. Until my most recent wedding, that is. What a beautiful location! It is right on Reed's Bay and the circular banquet room with its plentiful windows overlooks the bay. There is a gorgeous chandelier in the center of the room that draws your eye immediately upon entry into the space.

The grounds are beautiful too and they've made a nice space with a fountain and a gazebo where you can take your wedding photos. They have a space where you can have your wedding indoors or outdoors, so no matter what the weather, you will have a nice space for your ceremony. The staff for very attentive to the bride and groom's needs. The day I was there, I walked in to them gluing pieces back on to the bride's bouquet.

Here are some pictures of the space.

More snow? More BEACH! Ocean City, NJ Wedding

bellemorephoto@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:22:00 -0700

Want a beach wedding? Here's a timing tip for you- schedule it later in the day. We all picture our beach wedding portraits being on a lonely beach with just the waves lapping on the sand and our loved ones surrounding us. In reality, 2pm on a Saturday in the summer means there are a ton of half dressed people all over the beach. Yes, knowing the right place on the beach to go for portraits and the presence of a wedding dress sometimes means that people will cooperate and stay out of your shot, but not always

Not only that, but 2pm means the sun is RIGHT THERE and there is no shade on the beach. Doing the wedding later will mean a 5-6pm portrait window. People are going home for the day to eat dinner and the sun is lower in the sky, meaning you won't all be squinting. Doing it later also means you can pose with the lifeguard's boat without them glaring at you.

Here are some shots from a wedding I did in Ocean City, NJ last year.

How about Some BEACH? Cape May, NJ Engagement Photos

There's snow on the ground and it's cold. I was without heat for the past two days, so I definitely need to be reminded of the beach!

New Jersey has a bunch of beautiful beaches that are great for taking photographs. Whether it be for engagement photos, weddings, family photos or kids portraits, the beach is the perfect place to create your moment.

Here's some shots from last summer in Cape May on Lighthouse Beach.

NJ Wedding Photography- Ocean City Beach Portraits

bellemorephoto@gmail.com — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 05:45:00 -0700

While I love traditional poses for wedding portraits on the beach, I also enjoy doing some fun portraits as well. Especially when I have a group of groomsmen that like to have fun. This was a great day to shoot too, as it was overcast and the sun wasn't blasting us at mid-day. Never underestimate the awesomeness of an overcast beach day! So enjoy these pictures. I hope they make you smile like I did when I took them.

Hereford Inlet Lighthouse- NJ Wedding Photography, Engagement Photography

bellemorephoto@gmail.com — Tue, 09 Sep 2014 05:27:00 -0700

I love doing photo shoots at the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse in North Wildwood, NJ. First, it's not your typical lighthouse. The lighthouse is on top of an actual house type building. Also, the grounds are filled with beautiful gardens, a gazebo and two boats that you can sit in to take pictures. Then, the path leads out to the inlet, where the is a rock retaining wall that you can walk along all the way to the beach.

North Wildwood is one of the few free beaches in NJ, so you don't have to worry about beach tags while on the beach taking pictures. The views are spectacular on the inlet, the beach isn't usually crowded and it's just a great place to shoot. Check out one of my recent shoots below.
