Kayla & Nico’s LBI National Wedding: Family, Connection & Timeless Portraits

Kayla & Nico’s LBI National Wedding:

Some wedding details tell you so much about a couple. For Kayla and Nico, it was choosing their grandmothers as flower girls, giving their grandfathers a special role in signing their marriage license, and making Kayla’s godmother her “something blue.” Their LBI National wedding brought family into the heart of the celebration.

Set in Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, their day paired classic wedding style with personal touches.

As photographers, we love having both to document: beautiful portraits of the two of you and the people who make those photographs meaningful.

Grandmothers as Flower Girls and Traditions with Meaning

One of the sweetest details of Kayla and Nico’s wedding was having their grandmothers as flower girls: Kayla’s grandmother, Ana Maria, and Nico’s grandmother, Patricia.

Their grandfathers signed their marriage license, while Kayla’s godmother was her “something blue.” These choices made familiar wedding traditions feel deeply personal.

If you’re planning your own wedding, think about the people you want to include as well as the traditions you love. Giving someone a meaningful role can become one of the details you treasure most when you look back at your photographs.

Relaxed Wedding Portraits at LBI National

Kayla and Nico’s portraits show how much variety one location can offer. Ornamental grasses framed a close moment together, the white building provided a backdrop for a hand-in-hand walk, and a balcony overlooking the golf course offered a different perspective.

Throughout these photographs, their connection holds your attention: the smiles they share, the way they lean toward each other, and the ease of simply holding hands.

That is what we look for at Photography By Orlando. Beautiful light and thoughtful composition matter, and so does leaving room for your personality to come through.

Our Photography Tip: Trust the Direction, Then Let Loose

You don’t need to arrive at your wedding knowing how to pose. That part is our job.

We’ll help with where to stand, what to do with your hands, and how to find flattering light. Once you’re comfortable, give yourselves permission to move, talk, laugh, and focus on each other. A simple walk or a quiet moment together can give a photograph the expression it needs.

Tell your photographer which family photographs and traditions matter most, build a little extra time into the schedule, and let yourself enjoy what’s happening. Your wedding photographs should bring you back to how it felt to be there.

Kayla and Nico, thank you for trusting Photography By Orlando to capture this chapter of your story.
