Cape May Wedding at the Historic Chalfonte Inn

Some wedding days stay with you—and this one, held entirely at the Chalfonte Inn in Cape May, New Jersey, is one I’ll never forget. The charm of the inn, paired with the couple’s laid-back energy, made the whole day feel effortlessly beautiful.

Tucked just a few blocks from the ocean, the Chalfonte Inn is one of those classic Cape May venues that feels like stepping into another time. From morning prep to the garden ceremony and intimate reception, everything happened right on the property—no rushing around, just a calm, joyful celebration from start to finish.

As a photographer, it’s a gift to work in places like Cape May, where the light, architecture, and history all add depth to every image. The Chalfonte’s wraparound porch and quiet corners offered so many opportunities to capture the day in a way that felt personal and timeless.

Weddings like this one are a reminder of why I love what I do—and why Cape May will always be one of my favorite places to photograph love stories.
