The Wave Resort Wedding. Long Branch, NJ.

The wedding of Sarah and Michael at The Wave Resort in Long Branch, New Jersey, was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. What started with a rainy morning ended up being a dream wedding for the happy couple.

The early weather may have been wet, but as they say, “after a storm comes a calm”. As the clouds cleared, Sarah and Michael’s ceremony took place on the hotel’s terrace. With the rain gone, it created an intimate atmosphere for the heartfelt vows.

We made use of the beautiful spaces that The Wave Resort offers for photos. First, we took shots in the elegant lobby of the venue. As soon as the rain ceased, we moved to the beach and the carousel for a unique photoshoot, capturing the couple’s joy against the picturesque backdrop.

One of the most touching moments of the day came during the reception, when Sarah’s father gave an emotional speech. His words were heartfelt and moving, leaving many reaching for their tissues.

The celebration continued with dancing that lasted all night. The energy on the dance floor was infectious, reflecting the jubilation of the couple and their guests.

In the end, Sarah and Michael were glad the rain had cleared, allowing them to have the wedding of their dreams. Their special day at The Wave Resort proved that even a rainy start could not dampen the spirits of those in love. It was a perfect reminder that sometimes, the unexpected can lead to the most beautiful outcomes.
