Summer Wedding Photos, The Oyster Point Hotel- Red Bank, NJ

Christine and Ron’s June wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and a relationship that had come full circle. The two first met years ago while working together at Six Flags when they were young. Although life eventually took them in different directions, they found their way back to one another years later. It was especially meaningful to see several of their old Six Flags friends in attendance, celebrating alongside them after all this time.

The day began at The Oyster Point Hotel, where both Christine and Ron got ready surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. Christine shared the morning with her sister, niece, and nephew, while Ron spent time with his family before getting dressed. Their nieces and nephews played an important role throughout the day, making it clear just how family-centered this celebration was. Christine looked stunning in her timeless, lightweight gown, complete with a detachable train—a unique detail that gave her two beautiful looks throughout the day. Purple, her favorite color, was incorporated into her bouquet and floral details, but one of the most memorable touches came during family portraits, when she asked everyone in the family to wear purple. The coordinated portraits turned out beautifully and added such a fun, personal element to the day.

After their first look at the hotel, we made our way to nearby Riverside Gardens Park and Red Bank’s waterfront for portraits. Since Ron once lived in Red Bank before the couple eventually settled in Florida, returning to the town brought back old memories while also creating new ones together. The beautiful June weather made it easy to take advantage of the waterfront, one of Red Bank’s most iconic features, before returning to the hotel for the ceremony.

With the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all taking place at The Oyster Point Hotel, their guests were able to relax and enjoy the celebration without ever leaving the property. Cocktail hour overlooking the water was the perfect way to enjoy the gorgeous weather before everyone headed inside to party. Rather than filling the evening with countless formalities, Christine and Ron kept the focus on spending time with family and friends. After sharing their first dance and Ron dancing with his mother, they opened up the dance floor where The Eddie Testa Band kept the party going all night long. They also incorporated meaningful Jewish traditions, including the breaking of the glass and the hora, bringing incredible energy to the celebration. It was a joyful, elegant wedding that perfectly reflected Christine and Ron—centered on family, filled with love, and focused on simply enjoying the moment together.
