Susie & John’s Beach Plum Farm wedding in Cape May on a warm October day was truly a highlight of our fall wedding season. There is something special about Cape May in the fall. The busy summer season has passed, there is usually a feeling of the whole town sort of exhaling and the beautiful fall weather feels even a bit more crips by the seaside. Well, normally that would be true. But this October for Susie & John’s outdoor wedding in Cape May Point it was hot and pretty humid. Susie cooled herself down by holding a cold beer can to her neck as she was getting buttoned into her wedding dress. It was that kind of hot. We started the day with Susie & John as they got ready for the day in the on site cottages at Beach Plum Farm. These are more like high end Air B&B’s than “cottages”. Each one is designed a bit differently inside and they made for a great space to house many members of the wedding guest list as well as spacious areas for the bride and groom to get ready for the day. Susie & John’s first look took place in a crushed seashell lined walkway in between their two cottages. A very relaxed photo session followed as we walked the grounds together ending up back at Susie’s cottage while everyone gathered themselves for the late afternoon garden ceremony. A cocktail hour on the lawn at sunset gave the guests some time to meet and greet as they enjoyed wine, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres made onsite by the farm to table catering team from Beach Plum. Susie and John were announced to the reception shortly after the cocktail hour. Dinner under the white canvas tent followed by toasts and dancing capped off one of our favorite weddings of the fall. Susie & John wanted a unique, relaxed garden wedding and they executed it perfectly. It was a dream of a day and we were thankful to share in it all. Thank you for trusting us and allowing us into your world you guys!
