The Day unfolds at Congress Hall
A few of our favorite moments include bridal prep and the girls getting ready together. Once hair and makeup was set, we captured beautiful portraits in their pjs at the veranda moments before Julia stepped into her gown! Isn’t our bride absolutely glowing? Congress Hall Cape May hosts beautiful views at their location. As Julia stepped into her gown, we took a peek outside to see the beautiful Atlantic.
Moments following, we had an emotional bridal reveal with our very special bridal party and the father of the bride! Moments thereafter, we made our way over to the ceremony. Our bride’s father helped with her gown as they stepped into the Moke.
Their ceremony took place at the Our Lady Star and a few tears were shed as Julia approached the love of her life at the altar. Their Roman Catholic ceremony was captured beautifully in celebrationof the newlyweds with a beautiful grand exit. Before return to Congress Hall Cape May a few newlywed portraits were captured at the beach.
