Alana | Kirsten and Michael’s Classic Coastal Wedding at Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club
When you view Alana’s wedding galleries, you can immediately feel her calm energy and natural storytelling style. Alana has been part of my team for many years, and she has such a gift for photographing weddings that blend elegance and ease.
For Kirsten and Michael’s Monmouth Beach wedding, Alana documented a celebration that felt classic, timeless, and coastal. Their soft blue and white color palette complemented the ocean views at Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club, one of my favorite New Jersey coastal wedding venues.
Every detail had meaning, including oyster shell name cards, Lily of the Valley florals inspired by Kirsten’s grandmother, and custom matchboxes from their favorite NYC spots. One of my favorite moments was when Kirsten wore her mother’s wedding band, passed down through generations. Alana captured it all beautifully, from the seaside portraits to the joyful reception glow.

Their vision focused on simplicity and elegance, with a white and sage color palette that reflected the modern coastal vibe of The Wave Resort, one of the most scenic NJ beach wedding venues.
Their day began with a heartfelt ceremony at St. James Catholic Church in Red Bank, followed by a lively reception overlooking the ocean. Karen added pearl accents to her veil and wedding cake, tying everything together with a subtle touch of charm. Alexa’s photos captured every thoughtful detail, from the emotional moments before the ceremony to the laughter on the dance floor.
