Kimberleigh + Ben | Ocean City New Jersey Beach Micro-Wedding

Kimberleigh + Ben’s intimate micro-wedding in Ocean City, New Jersey was the kind of day that reminds you what it’s all about. No grand ballroom. No elaborate timeline. Just the ocean, their closest family, and a focus on their marriage.

They chose to be married at their family’s beach house, and transformed the “backyard” into something even more meaningful. The backyard just happened to be the beach. Barefoot in the sand, with waves rolling in behind them, they said their vows surrounded only by the people who know them best. It was simple. It was intentional. It was perfect. And I loved every second of it.

There’s something sacred about a micro-wedding. The way everyone leans in a little closer, the way emotions feel amplified without distraction. Every laugh, every tear, every embrace felt deeply personal. You could sense how much this meant not just to Kimberleigh and Ben, but to every person present.

As the sun began to dip, we slipped away for golden hour portraits along the water. Barefoot, hand in hand, they walked the shoreline overlooking the waves — married, peaceful, completely present.

Kimberleigh + Ben’s wedding day was proof that beautiful doesn’t have to mean elaborate. Sometimes it looks like sandy toes, salty air, and saying “I do” in a place that already feels like home.
