Kelsey + Tyler’s Romantic Wedding at Bonnet Island Estate in Manahawkin, New Jersey

A Perfect Reflection of Their Love

Kelsey and Tyler tied the knot at the beautiful Bonnet Island Estate in Manahawkin, New Jersey, and I still can’t get over how perfectly the day reflected who they are—kind, grounded, and completely head-over-heels in love. From the sun sparkling off the water to the happy tears and the packed dance floor, this was one of those weddings that makes you believe in love all over again.

As a New Jersey wedding videographer, filming at Bonnet Island Estate is always a dream. The coastal views, the elegant boathouse chapel, and the golden light over the bay make every moment feel cinematic—especially when you’re capturing a love story as genuine as Kelsey and Tyler’s.

The Sweetest Vows

My favorite part of the day? Their handwritten vows. These two painted such a vivid, heartfelt picture of their story together—it felt like being let in on the sweetest secret ever. Moments like that are what I love most about documentary-style wedding videography—the real emotions, the laughter, and the tiny in-between moments that make a story truly yours.

A VIP Guest Appearance 🐾

And just when I thought it couldn’t get any sweeter… their dog made a guest appearance for portraits (yes, cue the collective “awww”). Then they raised a flag with his face on it at the flagpole—like the true VIP he is. Iconic behavior.

Little touches like that made their Bonnet Island Estate wedding so personal and memorable. Every detail was thoughtful, heartfelt, and full of personality—exactly the kind of day that reminds me why I adore filming New Jersey weddings.

Capturing the Day

From the sparkling water to the energetic dance floor, every moment of Kelsey and Tyler’s wedding was full of joy and emotion. This was one of those celebrations where every laugh, every tear, and every tiny detail deserves to be remembered forever—and it’s exactly why I love what I do.
