jessica + alex 9.10.10

the adventurous spirits of jess & alex were married at le avenue beach club in long branch on friday afternoon. jess and her girls got ready at the bungalow hotel {the boutique hotel made famous on 9 by design} i have been wanting to check out this hotel for some time and was not dissapointed! super bright, clean, lots of vintage pieces mixed with rustic woods and modern lighting.. it was awesome! we got some fun pics at the pool table and bar, i could have stayed there all day shooting! the girls wore vintage blue jcrew dresses, jess wore jcrew too, the guys had classic black suits and checkered vans! the super adorable couple jess {has to be my most smiley-est bride ever and it was infectious for anyone near her!} and alex {a cool young sean penn look a like maybe} were married on a rooftop, pool side with 100 close family and friends! beach pics were taken after and kept short and sweet so they could get to their party and party they did.. the couple danced all night in the swanky beach club and smashed some serious cake and if that wasn't enough fun there was a grand finale! the best ever... an {illegal!} jump or 2 in the pool with fireworks blasting off in the background.. now tell me that is not cool.. too cool! i love being able to capture these special and unique moments in people's lives and this will certainly be one of the more memorable events i will be asked to shoot! congrats jessica & alex! !
