Flanders Hotel Wedding: Krysta + Rich
Krysta and Rich’s December wedding was the last wedding of 2019 for me and boy was it a great one to end with! This couple is clearly fun to be around with over 300 guests, it was a big party from start to finish. Krysta and her ten bridesmaids got ready on site at The Flanders Hotel, with Your Day Your Way, on hair and makeup. After a jitney ride to St. Augustine’s Church for their ceremony, everyone headed back to The Flanders Hotel, for a beer garden (the first I’ve seen at a wedding) and live music by Goody Blue Shoes. The bridal party quickly snuck out for some photos on the Ocean City boardwalk with some gorgeous winter sunlight. Their wedding details included florals by Spinning Wheel Florist and a gorgeous cake by Blue Dolfin Sweets. The extra Christmas lights and oversized flocked trees (decorated by the hotel) made the perfect setting for their wedding. Krysta and Rich cut the wedding cake, and then cute the pizza (a new tradition at the Flanders Hotel), before heading outside for a night shot by the ferris wheel overlooking Castaway Cove. Dessert included Christmas cookies and coffee. From shawls, to twinkling lights, to Christmas cookies- I declare winter weddings to be amazing!

The Flanders Hotel Wedding, Ocean City, NJ: Dorian and Samantha
Dorian was living in Arkansas, Samantha in New Jersey. While browsing through fitness hashtags on Instagram, Samantha came across a photo of a man in a Phillies hat, leading her to believe he was local... little did she know the man she would fall in love with was many miles away. They would begin a long distance relationship with countless phone calls, plane tickets and lots of planning to be with each other as often as possible. Finally, their long distance relationship became much easier when Dorian moved to New Jersey. They planned a gorgeous wedding at The Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, New Jersey. The day started with thunderstorms but the weather cleared and I was SO glad so we could get some portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Terry on the beach and boardwalk. It's been such a joy planning with Samantha, when I left the night of the wedding I told her I was going to miss her, and then she reminded me we live five minutes from each other. It was an honor to witness two families coming together and celebrating such an amazing couple starting their lives together. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Terry! This is just the beginning of an amazing chapter!

Samantha and Dorian and their First Look in the Hall of Mirrors and the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, New Jersey. I love the elegance!
Samantha is stunning, and she was so laid back. Rain on the wedding day? No worries. All she cared about was marrying the love of her life!
How cute are these adorable cookie favors that Samantha's aunt made?
Samantha and Dorian actually won their wedding cake in a contest from The Cake Boutique. Sooo gorgeous!
I love the vibrant colors of the boardwalk with the Flanders Hotel in the shot as well. Ocean City sure is a magical place!
