The Mainland Holiday Inn in Manahawkin, NJ, is a popular venue for weddings, offering a blend of modern amenities and rustic charm. Located near Long Beach Island, it is conveniently close to the Jersey Shore, making it an appealing choice for couples who want a coastal wedding vibe without being directly on the beach.

We had a great experience photographing Mikaleigh and Lucio’s Wedding here this Fall! The staff were great to work with, the food was great too! It has some little noks for some nice photos and a casual laid back kinda piney rustic feel! Everything all under one roof for this couple. We started out at the hotel rooms getting dressed. The guys had their space and the ladies their own. We spent some time with each of them before the “First Look”. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the outside grounds for all of the photos of the couple, the bridal party and the family. Afterwards we headed inside a rally nice rustic room with a large stone fireplace for the ceremony. Then right into the cocktail hour in the adjacent room and then onto the reception into a large ballroom.

I think the couple and their family and friends hada great time celebrating with them as well!

Here are some photos of the day, hope you like!
