A Joyful Celebration at McLoone’s Pier House
On September 20, 2025, Morgan and David Iacoviello celebrated their love with an unforgettable wedding at McLoone’s Pier House in Long Branch, NJ. With the sweeping ocean views of the Jersey Shore, their wedding day captured everything Red Bank Studio is known for—emotional storytelling, natural elegance, and timeless memories.
Getting Ready at Ocean Place Resort & Spa
The day began at Ocean Place Resort & Spa on Ocean Boulevard, where both Morgan and David prepared for the big day. The bridal suite buzzed with laughter, anticipation, and quiet heartfelt moments as Morgan got ready with her loved ones. Our Red Bank Studio lead photographer, Shan Kadkoy, captured all the essential details—from the intricate dress and sparkling rings to the candid smiles shared between Morgan and her closest family and friends.
Meanwhile, David was just across the resort, surrounded by his groomsmen. Red Bank Studio documented the energy of the morning as he straightened his tie, shared a few laughs, and reflected on the vows to come. These quiet but meaningful preparations are part of what makes wedding photography so memorable—moments that couples often don’t see until they relive them through their images.
Bridal Party & Family Portraits at McLoone’s Pier House
By the afternoon, the bridal party gathered at McLoone’s Pier House for portraits along the Long Branch beach. The sandy shoreline and sparkling Atlantic provided a breathtaking backdrop for group photos filled with personality, joy, and just a hint of playful mischief.
Family photos followed, with David’s side gathering for formal and candid shots alike. These portraits were filled with warmth and love, honoring the bonds of family on such a special day.
A Modern Ceremony by the Ocean
At 5:00 PM, the modern ceremony began at McLoone’s Pier House, accompanied by a moving brass quintet from Distilled Brass. Guests were welcomed by a music prelude at 4:30 PM, setting a heartfelt tone.
The ceremony was filled with personal touches: the emotional entrance of the bridal party, Morgan’s walk down the aisle, scripture readings by the Father of the Bride, and the couple’s touching vows. The ring exchange and sand ceremony were beautifully captured before Morgan and David sealed their marriage with their first kiss as husband and wife.
Cocktail Hour & Reception
Immediately following the ceremony, cocktail hour began with more portraits of the couple and their bridal party, set against the golden light of sunset on the Jersey Shore.
By 6:30 PM, guests gathered inside McLoone’s Pier House for the reception. The evening began with joyous entrances—parents, bridal party, and finally Morgan and David making their debut as newlyweds. The first dances, including a father-daughter and mother-son dance, brought tears to many eyes.
The reception was filled with heartfelt toasts from the Best Man and Maid of Honor, laughter around dinner tables, and joyful dancing led by Prestige Entertainment. Later, the couple cut their cake and shared in the tradition of the bouquet toss, all beautifully documented by Red Bank Studio.
Romantic Couples Portraits
At 5:45 PM, Morgan and David stepped outside for a private couples portrait session along the beach. With the ocean breeze and glowing sky behind them, these portraits highlighted the love and connection at the heart of the day.
Shan ensured that each photo reflected the natural beauty of Long Branch, the joy of the couple, and the timeless elegance of their seaside venue.
