Coastal Beach Wedding at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City by Tami & Ryan Photography

Written by dolly marshall.

Childhood sweethearts Alyssa and Alex share a love like none other. Friends since junior high they were destined to be man and wife! See just how this beautiful coastal chic affair was captured by their photographers.

From the photographer, Tami & Ryan Photography : “Four and a half years ago, we had the honor of capturing a  Punta Cana Destination Wedding .  During our time there, leading up to the wedding, we were able to hang out with, and get to know a ton of their guests and their bridal party.  We were lucky enough to meet Alex & Alyssa (and her family! They are so much fun!) Throughout the years following, we were on the edge of our seats waiting for Alex to propose – because we knew he would! Just getting to know them and get a small glimpse of their love for each other, even back then, it was inevitable that these two would some day make it official!”

How They Met

“My husband and I met in 6 th grade. We were good friends for many years and then we began dating our junior year of high school.  We dated for about 10 years before he proposed!”

The Proposal

“Alex took me out on our boat and said we were going to dinner. I threw off his plan when I said I wasn’t really hungry and didn’t want to go to dinner and just wanted to cruise around. So instead since it was so beautiful out, we anchored the boat at Corsons Inlet and he popped the question while we were just hanging out on the boat. Of course, I said YES! He said he wanted to wait until sunset but he was too nervous and couldn’t wait. He had everything planned out with our family and friends for the weekend. Our family was waiting back at our shore for us to celebrate. The next day he had it planned for all of our family and friends to surprise me on the beach for a big celebration and then a party at the house afterwards. It was absolutely perfect!”

Wedding Planning

“Planning our wedding was fun and went smoothly! My girls helped every step of the way making sure everything that needed to be done was getting done (especially my mom and sister)! It was a little stressful with all the details but it was totally worth it in the end.”

Yacht Club of Sea Isle City

“We chose the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City because it truly is exactly how we both imagined our wedding would be. We love being down the shore and love being on the water. It was the perfect venue because we were able to exchange our vows on the dock overlooking the bay where we spend most of our weekends on the boat. We also love anchoring close to there to watch the beautiful sunset on summer nights.”

Wedding Inspiration

“Our inspiration for the wedding was the bay and scenery. I knew with the view and breathtaking sunset from the venue I did not need a fancy décor. We went for everything white, grey, beige and simple.”

Best Moment

“The best moment was seeing all of our family and friends around us sharing the love with us! The energy in the room was amazing and indescribable. “

Wedding Planning Advice

“Try to enjoy the planning and every moment because the actual day goes by so quickly!! Don’t stress about the small things because if something doesn’t go as planned or look like it should no one will know but you! The guests will think everything is great no matter what and will not know the difference!”

“Every vendor was great to work with! Everyone was able to answer any questions we had and were always there to help us. We built a relationship with them and they were there to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted out of our wedding day!”

Smooth Sailing at Summer Camp in Sea Isle

By DONALD WITTKOWSKI

Mac Brogan has ambitious plans for someone so young.

The 9-year-old already envisions himself becoming a competitive sailor at an advanced level.

“I want to race,” he said, confidently. “Eventually, I want to race a bigger boat.”

For now, Mac is taking beginner lessons at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City in tiny, dinghy-like sailboats that ply the calm waters of the idyllic back bays.

Ever since the Yacht Club was founded in 1940, it has taught generations of young people, from ages 8 to 18, the art of sailing in a summer camp at the Jersey Shore.

“We’re talking about multigenerational sailors,” said Jesse Price, the Yacht Club’s sailing coordinator.

As it does every summer, the Yacht Club sponsors a camp that introduces children to sailing in an exciting and safe way. Hoping to draw as many children as possible, the camp is also open to nonmembers of the Yacht Club.

“They come from all over the place. Name a state or one nearby and they probably come from there. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware …” Price said of the young sailors enrolled in the camp.

Mac Brogan actually comes from another country. His parents, Joe and Aileen Brogan, are living in Switzerland while Mac is spending the summer in Sea Isle with his grandmother, Mary Anne McCarthy, who is Aileen’s mother. McCarthy lives in Langhorne, Pa., and has a summer vacation home in Sea Isle.

While watching Mac sail around the channel next to the Yacht Club on Friday, McCarthy recalled the reaction her grandson had the first time he was in the sailing camp last year.

“When I picked him up on the first day of sailing last year, he told me that it was the best day of his life,” McCarthy said, smiling. “He’s only 9. For a guy who is so young, it’s pretty amazing.”

When he brought his sailboat back to the dock Friday, Mac talked about how much fun he had on the water.

“I like to drive the boat and pull in the sails,” he said. “I like to go fast.”

The Yacht Club of Sea Isle City is a participating member of the Mid-Atlantic Yacht Racing Association and hosts a regatta each summer. Participants in the sailing camp can showcase their skills by competing in other races during the summer, Price said.

“The racing environment is a great place to show what they’ve learned,” he said. “It’s a very friendly environment.”

This summer, the sailing camp started on June 13 and will end the week of Aug. 8. The cost is $300. The Yacht Club supplies the sailboats to keep the camp affordable, Price noted.

Price caps the number of sailors at 40 per week – 20 for the morning sailing lessons and 20 in the afternoon.

“For a lot of the kids, like the ones we have today, this is their first year of sailing. One of the things I like to focus on is team-building. Then I like to focus on responsibilities,” Price said of some of the main points he emphasizes to the children.

Price, a former Ocean City resident who now lives in Marmora, formerly taught sailing lessons at the Ocean City Yacht Club and the Ocean City Sailing Foundation.

During their lessons in Sea Isle, the young sailors are under the watchful eye of the sailing instructors as well as safety crews that are out in boats.

Price explained that all instructors are certified in first aid and CPR. They also carry cellphones and radios to remain in constant contact.

As a further safety precaution, the kids are limited in how far they can sail out in the back bay, based on their experience level.

“The big thing is having a safe place to sail and having other people to sail with,” Price said.

“We take safety very seriously,” he added.

As part of its promotional literature, the Yacht Club says that the sailing camps “teach sound basic seamanship skills, build confidence and help our students become proficient recreational sailors, or go all the way to be award-winning competitive sailors.”

“The Yacht Club of Sea Isle City has had a longstanding commitment to promoting sailing lessons along the Jersey Beaches. Since our club’s beginning in 1940, the club has kept sailing lessons and recreational sailing for young people its main focus,” it says on its website.

Some families have been participating in the sailing camps for years. Price noted that some of the children of the sailing instructors have become instructors themselves after growing up.

Ocean City resident Emery Hurst, one of the Yacht Club instructors now, first began taking sailing lessons in the summer camp when she was just 7 years old. She fondly recalled those times Friday.

“When I think of my childhood, everything happened with sailing,” she said.

Capturing Classic, Romantic Love Stories

Down the Jersey Shore + Beyond

Simple, Classic Details for a Sweet, Modern Bride

Julia’s details may have been simple, but they were so classic and elegant, and you could tell how much they all meant to her!  From the moment I saw her Maggie Sottero dress, I knew that Julia would look absolutely breathtaking in it! (Spoiler alert – she really did!!)

Getting Ready with the Girls at a Private Residence in Sea Isle City, NJ

Julia and her girls arrived back at the house, after a morning of pampering at the Fusion Salon. Each girl looked so beautiful, and their hair and makeup was perfect with their burgundy bridesmaids dresses! Julia’s mom and sister helped her to get ready, while the rest of the bridesmaids and her future Mother in Law were waiting in the Family room for the reveal!  There were so many happy tears shed!

Getting Ready with the Guys at a Private Residence in Sea Isle City, NJ

Meanwhile, the guys were on the other side of the island, just hanging out, drinking some Pellegrino, and waiting for the festivities to begin!

The Story of Julia and Nick

Nick and Julia met while studying abroad in Beijing (which is where they are currently honeymooning!!).  He was at school in Cleveland and Julia was in Baltimore, and they both had chosen Beijing for their Junior Fall Semester abroad!  A few days after arriving, the group of students took a 3 week Silk Road trip across China. Two weeks into the trip, a group of them had gone to a Karaoke bar. Nick and Julia talked the entire way there, as well as all throughout the night.  There was a spark between them, as shortly after returning to Beijing, they were inseparable!

Over the next year and a half, they successfully endured a long distance relationship and visited one another as often as they could! After graduation, they both moved to Florida for their graduate programs!  It was in Florida, in 2017, that Nick proposed to Julia – at the China Pavilion in Epcot!

A Meaningful Ceremony at Sacred Heart Church in Avalon, NJ

Julia and Nick said their vows at a beautiful jersey shore church that turns 90 years old this year! Every moment was planned perfectly, and they were pronounced husband and wife!

Bridal Party Photos at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary

Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary is a 21.5-acre bird sanctuary and nature preserve in Stone Harbor, Cape May County, New Jersey.  When heading down the shore, you’d never expect to have such a beautiful, serene place right on the middle of the island!  We had a great time capturing the people that mean the most to Julia and Nick in this beautiful location!

Bride & Groom Photos at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary

Although, Julia and Nick were getting married down at the Jersey Shore, they didn’t want the typical beach photos.  So, when I recommended the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary, they were so excited! We walked through the Egret Espy Path, through whispering pine trees, over a beautiful footbridge, and through the intricate, artistic remnants of white spruce.  Julia and Nick were such a joy to capture, and truly made our job easy!  There is so much love between these two, and it is undeniable!

A Fun Reception with their Family & Friends at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City

The Yacht Club of Sea Isle City is located in the Bay.  The building overlooks the water and has absolutely breathtaking views of sunset! From the staff to the food, the YCSIC does not disappoint!  Julia and Nick chose to have the Big City Band Philadelphia as their entertainment for the evening, and gosh, it was a great choice!  We always LOVE bands at weddings, and they were phenomenal!  I think the dance floor was full all night!
