Brian and Isabel's Wedding in Manahawkin, New Jersey

The story of our wedding

Isabel and Brian’s story started at the beach — and came full circle at the beach. After meeting through mutual friends, sparks first flew at an after-prom celebration at the Sunrise Motel in Seaside Heights (yes, that Seaside… shoutout to Jersey Shore and the era of GTL). Years later, they reconnected at the Morristown St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 2019 — and this time, it stuck.

Long Beach Island, where Isabel’s family has a home, was the natural choice for their wedding day. The vibe? Coastal chic with a sense of humor. Isabel walked down the aisle with her dad to “Bittersweet Symphony” (because that violin intro never misses), her 25-year-old cousin stole the show as flower boy, and later in the night, Isabel took the stage with her rock band — a group of finance pros by day, rockstars by night — to perform at their own reception.

Beach beginnings, beach wedding, and a party that felt completely, unapologetically them.
