Ocean Place Resort Wedding in Long Branch, New Jersey
Gareth & T.K.’s Romantic Jersey Shore Wedding Film
Gareth and T.K.’s Ocean Place Resort wedding in Long Branch, New Jersey, was the kind of celebration that feels like a movie before you even press record. Ocean wind, deep friendships, family flying in from across the world, and a couple whose story stretched across continents before landing on the Jersey Shore.
I’ve known Gareth since we played rugby together years ago, so creating their wedding film wasn’t just another project. It was a privilege.
Their day was joyful, emotional, and beautifully alive, and Ocean Place Resort & Spa gave us a perfect oceanfront backdrop to tell their story.
A Pre-Wedding Engagement Shoot in Long Island and NYC
Before the wedding weekend, we met in Long Island and New York City for Gareth and T.K.’s engagement session. Walking their favorite streets and quiet shoreline spots gave us time to build rhythm together before the big day.
Those sessions always matter.
By the time we arrived at their Ocean Place Resort wedding, they were relaxed on camera, confident in the process, and fully present with each other. That comfort shows in every frame of their film.
A Romantic Ocean Place Resort Wedding
Ocean Place Resort & Spa is one of the most beautiful New Jersey beach wedding venues. Gareth and T.K.’s ceremony unfolded right on the sand with the Atlantic behind them and family gathered from across the globe.
The energy was unforgettable.
Gareth’s family traveled from the UK. T.K.’s grandmother danced like she owned the dance floor. Friends sang, laughed, and celebrated under ocean air that never stopped moving.
From quiet vows to wild dance-floor moments, every part of their Ocean Place Resort wedding felt full of life.

Creating a Cinematic Wedding Film
When T.K. first reached out, she said she wanted something creative and different from the typical wedding video. That’s exactly what we built together.
My approach blends documentary storytelling with cinematic visuals. Natural audio, emotional vows, layered music, and movement that feels like memory.
At their Ocean Place Resort wedding, we captured:
• Waves crashing during portraits
• Emotional speeches filled with laughter
• Late-night dancing that didn’t want to end
The result is a wedding film that reflects who Gareth and T.K. really are, not just what their day looked like.
