Why Icona Avalon is a Top Wedding Venue in NJ: Over the last 18 years of shooting weddings, I've come to find that there are some couples who want the experience of having a destination wedding somewhere exotic, but they also want to have all of their favorite people there in attendance- and asking 200 people to fly to Cancun isn't always practical. So what better option is there than one of Icona's amazing resorts at the Jersey Shore. I have had the honor of shooting several weddings at Icona Avalon over the years and it is such a wonderful place to celebrate.
Whether you're getting married mid-summer or in the dead of winter, Icona Avalon will provide an experience for you and your guests you'll never forget.

What Makes Icona Avalon Special
I'll start at the beginning of the day. Having spacious prep suites to get ready sets the stage for a stress free day. Not only are they spacious, but they'll also make you feel pampered and like a celebrity. There are a ton of benefits of having your wedding at a classy hotel- This is one of them
Four season options
Caring Staff
Local connections
Destination Vibes
Prep Suites
Whether it's raining, snowing, sunny or cloudy, your wedding day is going to be excellent. Not having to worry at all about weather can eliminate a ton of stress leading up to your wedding day. Sure, you may want to have your ceremony outside, but if it's force inside, you're good to go.
The team at Icona Avalon is going to make your wedding exceptional and ensure your day flows with ease. Whether you're local to New Jersey or this is a destination wedding for you, you'll be able to rest easy knowing their team has your back.
I mentioned it earlier, but Icona Avalon definitely has destination wedding vibes. Having portraits done on the beach while your guests are catered to by their caring staff is an amazing feeling. Not having to fly to Aruba is also amazing. You and your people will get the best of both worlds and won't need a passport to make it happen.
Whether you're looking for entertainment for the evening, food trucks, a reception band or other types of niche services, Icona Avalon can point you in the right direction and make the wedding planning process easy on you. Between their guidance to top notch local vendors, and our experience, your day will be one that you and your guests rave about for years to come!

Full Day Coverage
No need to Worry about missing a moment
I know that every time my wife or I feel stressed out, it’s a great idea to just stop, relax and take stock. This is never more true than when planning a wedding. My advice (having worked in the industry for many years and planned my own wedding) is to take some time to get your wedding priorities straight. What is important to you may not be as important to someone else. Figure out what you care most about and then go from there. For most of our couples, that means finding the perfect venue then finding the right photographer to capture it all.

Nathan’s philosophy
kind words
We worked with Nathan for our fall wedding. We cannot recommend him enough. The beautiful, stunning images you see on his page are what you’re going to get. It's not a matter of just a few good pictures, you're going to love them all.
Nathan is so easy and fun to work with. He helped us organize to ensure the shots we wanted were covered and used the beauty of the venue to create impressive shots beyond what we envisioned. Somehow he managed to get so many beautiful photos without us feeling rushed, staged, or taking away from enjoying the day.

frequently asked questions
How long have you been shooting weddings?
We have been shooting weddings since 2007 and have hundreds of them under our belt. We’ve worked at Icona Avalon several times along with countless other venues in NJ, PA, NY, and beyond, in every season, weather, lighting, and size. We've seen it all!
Can I give you a list of shots that I want on my wedding day?
You can. However, we've found that it is best to just share images with us that are non-standard, or ones we wouldn't have known about had you not told us. Don't worry, we'll be sure to capture family pictures, your first kiss, and all of the "normal" stuff. Leading up to the wedding, we'll send you a questionnaire to fill out and then jump on a call with you to go over all of the important details.
Do you bring back-up equipment to every shoot?
We do. We have extra batteries, memory cards, lenses, and cameras. We're never going to be careless on someone's wedding day!
Do you travel?
We love to travel and experience new places. If your wedding is within 100 miles (round trip) of our studio, there are no extra fees. If it is further away, we'd be happy to give you a custom quote to cover nominal travel expenses.
Are the images we see edited?
All of the final images we post (usually between 850-1250) are color-corrected, cropped, and ready for printing. If you like the work you see on our website, you'll love your own images! Editing styles/filters come and go over time, but one of the consistent things we hear from our couples is that they love our timeless style while remaining vibrant, bold and authentic!
Please shoot our wedding! How do we book you?
Visit our contact page and send us a message with your wedding details. If we’re available, we will set up a call and walk you through the next steps.
