A Classic Fall Beach Wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club

Nina and Megan had the honor of documenting Sarah and Bob’s classic Fall beach wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club. The day was filled with love, emotions, and tons of smiles. It was a bright and sunny Fall day at the Jersey Shore, a perfect day to get married.

Why They Picked Bay Head to Get Married

Sarah grew up in Bay Head, NJ even living for 10 summers on a boat docked at this very yacht club. Her parents now live across the street. They were married in Bay Head on the same weekend in October 26 years prior. Her late grandparents made their family home here in the 1970s, and everyone in town knew Dick and Nancy and their entertainment. Therefore, Bayhead yacht club was the obvious choice for their event.

How They Met 

From the Bride : “We met at Princeton in the Army ROTC program in the first week of Sarah’s freshman year.  We later learned that we had attended rival high schools (The Hill School and The Lawrenceville School). We started officially dating just two months before Bob deployed to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne. Together we have done 3 years of long distance, two combat deployments, and 7 respective moves together. Bob is getting out of the army the week of our wedding, and we will be starting married life (and short distance dating!) in the Upper West Side of NYC.”

The Details 

We really loved the color pallet of this wedding and think that Flowers by Melinda did an absolutely fantastic job of putting it all together.

From The Bride:

“Our design vision is to have a classic but not stuffy black tie wedding with a coastal elegant aesthetic. We drew inspiration from vintage boathouses and wanted our wedding to have an Old World touch.  We used dark greens, blues, gold, brass and silver— because that’s what color the beach is in the fall. We wanted to have an OUTSTANDING band (Bob is an unreal dancer), an open bar, and all our favorite people.”

Personal Touches

There were a lot of personal touches at their wedding. A special touch that we loved was Sarah’s necklace, a 1927 vintage piece from her late paternal grandmother. We also thought Sarah looked adorable in Bob’s army shirt during bridal prep! 

The Ceremony 

Sarah and Bob are devout Christians and wanted their faith in God to be central throughout the day. Therefore,  getting married in a church was a must. Sarah and the wedding party traveled to the church in a trolley and when they arrived Sarah shared a special moment outside with her dad before heading down the aisle. Bob’s face when he saw his bride for the first time was priceless. 

The Wedding Portraits

Post ceremony Nina photographed the couple around the Bay Head Yacht club grounds. They had the most perfect fall light that made for truly gorgeous images.  You can feel their joy through their  huge smiles and really feel see chemistry. And how amazing are all of Sarah’s twirls ?!!!

A Unique Entrance on a Boat

One of the perks to hosting your wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club is the one of a kind unique way to enter your reception. After their ceremony Sarah + Bob ( and Nina) hopped onto a boat and took a private cruise to their reception. They got to enjoy a glass of celebratory champagne and spend some alone time together. They arrived at the dock with all of their guests watching and cheering them on. 

The Reception

Dancing was on the top of their wedding priority list and Brian Kirk and The Jerks trough one heck of a party. The night ended with Bob singing to Sarah with the band. How sweet!

Wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club

Oct 7, 2019

Amy and Jarret’s wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club was an elegant affair. We start the day off with both the bride and groom getting ready in a house they rented in Bay Head. This location was significant for them because across the lake (by the house) is Charlie’s of Bay Head where Jarret proposed to Amy. The house provided the perfect backdrop for many of our photos. After Amy’s mother helped her into her gorgeous Essence of Australia gown and veil, we spent time taking photos of our bride. Then we headed outside to the beautiful backyard where we did our first look.

We stayed at the house for some photos and then headed across the street to the lake. The high grass in this area made our couple’s moments together look so romantic and dreamy. After that, we left for Bay Head Yacht Club for the ceremony. The yacht club has a huge boathouse which is where the ceremony was held. After our couple’s “I do’s” they jumped in a boat for a romantic sail around the bay. Upon their return, we snagged some great photos on the dock and then headed to cocktail hour and reception.

 Bay Head Yacht Club is a really gorgeous venue and the reception looked like something out of a dream. We had such a great time and we know the guests did too. The FM band kept everybody swaying on the dance floor and kept the party going. Amy and Jarret had one wish for their wedding day, and that was to be as present as possible and to really share the celebration of their love with their friends and family. They really had the perfect day of that. We enjoyed their wedding so much and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

Real Arkansas Wedding: 'Amazing Race's' Monica Cayce & Green Bay's Brett Goode

Monica Cayce & Brett Goode November 1, 2014 | Abbey Springs Yacht Club, Wisconsin

Photography by Kristina Lorraine Photography

Twenty-five days. That’s all the time Arkansas Bride Monica Cayce had to plan a wedding. Then again, when you’ve been on “The Amazing Race” and you’re marrying an NFL player, you know a thing or two about hustle.

Green Bay Packers long snapper Brett Goode was introduced to Monica by mutual friends and immediately made a connection. Many late night phone conversations and a cross-country road trip later (Monica drove from Arkansas to surprise Brett at training camp in Wisconsin!), Brett proposed to Monica privately with a fabulous rose gold diamond ring, and the rest was history.

She jumped into wedding mode head first when they decided to get married less than a month away during the Packers’ by-week. Monica quickly fell in love with a blush ombre Monique Lhuillier gown with the perfect Swarovski crystal belt. The couple chose to tie the knot at the Abbey Springs Yacht Club on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, about two and a half hours away from Green Bay.

The Inspiration

Monica and Brett opted for an event swathed in enchanting romance, hence the to-die-for drapes of amaranth. Looking to her engagement ring for inspiration, rose golds, soft blushes and shades of sage adorned the space. They also added modern touches with acrylic chairs, but made sure to pay homage to their Arkansas origins (Monica from Fayetteville, Brett from Fort Smith) with fun Southern accents like champagne toasts in mason jars and antlers in the floral arrangements.

The Details

Because of the size of the wedding, the couple included personalized touches for all 48 guests. From the hand-painted chalkboard at the escort table to the calligraphed name cards made by Brett’s mother, the whole occasion was cozy, elegant and intimate. Guests even enjoyed a sunset cruise on a private yacht complete with plenty of Moscow Mules while the wedding venue was transformed into a reception space. 

When it came to his groomsmen, including Green Bay’s QB Aaron Rogers, Brett had two requests: some denim and some good ol’ U.S. of A. The guys wore black denim bow ties and American flag cuff links, much to Brett’s delight. His strategy for the rest of the wedding planning? “Just say yes.”
