Taylor & Dominick’s Elegant Crystal Point Yacht Club Wedding in Point Pleasant, NJ
Taylor and Dominick’s October 2, 2025 wedding was a picture-perfect celebration of love and coastal beauty at The Crystal Point Yacht Club in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Captured by Red Bank Studio, their day combined the serenity of a waterside venue with the timeless elegance of a classic church ceremony — a true showcase of romance, family, and joyful celebration.
Getting Ready at The Crystal Point Yacht Club
The morning began at The Crystal Point Yacht Club, where the bridal suite filled with laughter, excitement, and the warmth of lifelong friendships. Taylor prepared for her big day surrounded by Angela Devlin, Silvia Wage, Angela Confusione, Ashley Gkionis, Melissa Lun, Brittany Falzon, Lani Cantillo, Rachel Plaskon, and Megan Grant — each friend playing a special part in this unforgettable morning.
The natural light streaming into the suite set the perfect tone for Red Bank Studio’s signature wedding photography style — soft, natural, and full of emotion. Every detail, from the bridal gown to the delicate florals and heirloom jewelry, was captured with an eye for storytelling.
Meanwhile, just across the property, Dominick and his groomsmen — Chris Wage, Joe Devlin, Matt Cunha, James Manos, Joey Devlin, Todd Burger, Nick Zuppe, Mikey Diaz, and Nick Chianca — prepared for the day with camaraderie and good humor. The energy was high, the anticipation palpable, and every moment — from adjusting ties to sharing a toast — was documented in a way that felt authentic and timeless.
A Meaningful Ceremony at St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral
At 2:00 PM, family and friends gathered at the Co-Cathedral of St. Robert Bellarmine in Freehold Township for a traditional Catholic ceremony (no Mass) that celebrated faith, love, and commitment. The grand architecture of the cathedral created a breathtaking setting for the couple’s vows, with soft natural light illuminating the altar.
Red Bank Studio captured every significant moment — the readings, prayer of the faithful, ring exchange, and the emotional first kiss — in elegant, timeless frames that reflected both reverence and joy.
Immediately following, at 2:45 PM, family portraits were taken outside the cathedral, with the church’s iconic façade serving as a perfect backdrop.
Portraits and Bridal Party Photos by the Water
After traveling back to The Crystal Point Yacht Club, the afternoon light created a golden, romantic glow that perfectly complemented the couple’s aesthetic. The bridal party gathered at 4:00 PM for portraits, followed by couple portraits at 4:30 PM along the marina and gardens.
Red Bank Studio highlighted both the grandeur and intimacy of the moment — capturing the couple with their parents, bridal party, and each other, surrounded by the peaceful waters of Point Pleasant. The outdoor setting offered endless opportunities for creativity, from sweeping landscape shots by the docks to candid laughter on the terrace.
Cocktail Hour and Reception at The Crystal Point Yacht Club
Guests were welcomed to an elegant cocktail hour beginning at 6:00 PM, featuring waterfront views, live laughter, and heartfelt conversations. Red Bank Studio documented candid family interactions and extended family photos at 5:30 PM, ensuring every generation was represented in the story of the day.
As the ballroom opened at 7:00 PM, the magic continued. The Crystal Point Yacht Club’s refined décor — shimmering chandeliers, waterfront windows, and romantic lighting — created a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere.
The newlyweds shared their first dance, followed by touching parent dances and a heartfelt welcome speech from the father of the bride. Toasts by the Best Man, Maid of Honor, and two Matrons of Honor brought laughter, emotion, and joyful applause.
A surprise highlight came later in the evening when Taylor and her mother shared a special dance after dinner, a beautiful moment that Red Bank Studio captured in emotional, cinematic detail.
As the evening drew to a close, guests gathered outside for the sparkler exit, creating a dazzling finale of light and celebration as Taylor and Dominick said goodbye under the stars — the perfect ending to a day filled with love, family, and unforgettable memories.
