First kiss at Wychmere Beach Club wedding ceremony

Eden and Brian’s Wychmere Beach Club wedding was the kind of Cape Cod celebration that perfectly captured New England summer. Ocean views, coastal charm, and an amazing group of friends by their side. I had never been to the Cape before, and getting to photograph this weekend felt like the best introduction! Beach views, the sweetest people, and that laid-back New England charm everyone talks about. I love it here.

From the moment I arrived, I knew Eden and Brian’s celebration was going to be something special. It was the Fourth of July weekend, and the entire atmosphere had a relaxed and festive energy. The weekend kicked off with a 4th of July themed welcome party: think red white and blue decor, strawberry margs and great food.

Eden & Brian’s Day: A Wedding Centered on Family and Connection

One of my favorite parts about photographing this Cape Cod wedding was that there was no wedding party! Just Eden, Brian, and the people they love most. It made the entire day feel so intimate and intentional. Everyone was present, soaking in every moment, rather than worrying about a timeline or formalities.

Their families and friends gave me just the warmest welcome, immediately making me feel like I’d been part of the group for years. I left that weekend feeling like I’d made lifelong friends. After the wedding, Eden and Brian even sent me screenshots of texts from their friends and family saying how much they loved the photos! And the weather? A perfect New England summer day. Warm sunshine, a light coastal breeze, and the kind of beautiful weather you’d hope for on a Cape Cod wedding day. There were also a few quiet, emotional moments woven throughout the day honoring Eden’s mom. Subtle, heartfelt touches that added even more meaning to an already beautiful celebration.

Coastal Details That Made Their Day Stand Out

Every single detail of the day reflected Eden and Brian’s personalities. The florals by Foraged Floral of Cape Cod were the perfect mix of soft and coastal, with organic arrangements that looked right at home against the ocean backdrop. The reception carried the same relaxed energy as the rest of the day: guests mingled between tables, the music started up, and everyone was just genuinely having a great time being together.

Eden’s gown from Jenny Yoo, which she bought at Flair Boston, moved so beautifully in the Cape Cod breeze. The couple even designed their own invitations, which were printed at Minuteman Press. It was such a sweet and personal touch! Their cake by Brenda’s Cakes for All Occasions was simple and gorgeous. And I can’t forget the music! Natalia Bonfini played acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ Danny Walsh kept everyone on their feet once the party began.

What I loved most was how natural it all felt. Everyone showed up ready to celebrate, no stress, no bad energy. Just good people, good weather, and the kind of day that reminded me how lucky I am to be a wedding photographer.

Why Wychmere Beach Club Is One of Cape Cod’s Dream Wedding Venues

As a New England wedding photographer, I can confidently say that Wychmere Beach Club is one of the most breathtaking venues on Cape Cod! Truly. The property sits right on the water, with panoramic ocean views and absolutely incredible light. Whether couples choose to get married on the beach, on the private lawn overlooking the harbor, or inside one of the club’s gorgeous event spaces, it all feels really timeless and romantic.

The staff at Wychmere take such great care of their couples too, from the in-house catering team to the on-site coordination. Everything ran seamlessly on Eden and Brian’s wedding day. As a wedding venue, the Wychmere strikes the perfect balance between luxury and coastal charm, making it ideal for couples who want a wedding that’s high end and elevated, but also a relaxed celebration by the water.

The beauty of Wychmere Beach Club is that it doesn’t need much. It’s one of those venues that looks incredible in every direction! My best advice? Choose colors and details that work with the natural tones. Soft blues, sandy neutrals, and textures that feel coastal without trying too hard.

A Weekend to Remember

Getting to the Cape that weekend was a bit of an adventure, traffic, bridges, and all. But? It felt like a rite of passage for anyone spending the Fourth of July in New England. Once I arrived, I understood the hype. There’s something about Cape Cod that feels lively and peaceful at the same time.

After photographing their Charleston engagement session earlier that year, this weekend felt like a full-circle moment with Eden and Brian. We already had that connection, and it made documenting their day feel even more natural. Between the ocean breeze, the fireworks in the distance, and the warmth of their people, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Cape Cod!
