Emma & Chris’s Sentimental Spring Wedding at Park Pavilion
Location: Saint Joseph Church, Toms River NJ
Park Pavilion aka The Sawmill, Seaside Park NJ
Emma and Chris’s New Jersey wedding day was the perfect mix of classic, coastal, and low-key fun. We kicked things off with a traditional ceremony at Saint Joseph Church in Toms River, a beautiful space full of history, charm, and that soft, glowy light every photographer dreams of. Emma looked stunning, and the moment she and Chris locked eyes down the aisle? Instant heart-melt.
After the “I do’s,” we headed straight to Seaside Park beach for portraits—because if you’re getting married near the Jersey Shore, you take advantage. The sky was soft, the wind was doing its thing, and these two leaned right into it. Their beach wedding photos turned out dreamy and effortless—candid laughter, barefoot kisses, and just enough windblown romance.
Reception time meant one thing: party mode. Emma and Chris celebrated at Park Pavilion (The Sawmill) in Seaside Park, a laid-back beachfront wedding venue in NJ that knows how to host a good time. Think ocean views, sunset vibes, and a dance floor that did not quit. The entire day flowed seamlessly—from those quiet pre-ceremony moments to full-on celebration—and the photos tell the whole story.
If you’re dreaming of a Jersey Shore wedding with a little tradition and a lot of personality, Emma and Chris’s day is the blueprint. This is why I love being a Seaside Park wedding photographer—there’s something special about mixing timeless moments with laid-back beach energy.
