Kodi & Frankie had an Icona Avalon wedding at the Jersey Shore in Avalon, NJ.
The workplace romance is a trope that works great in TV, but really isn’t encouraged in real life. As Kodi’s stepfather said in his toast, it’s the cardinal rule: don’t date someone for work.
But immediately, Kodi & Frankie were drawn to each other.

“I turned to a colleague of mine and literally said, ‘oh, this is going to be a problem,'” Frankie said of seeing Kodi for the first time at work. “And, that problem turned into the best thing in my life.”
Personal stories like Kodi & Frankie’s are why I love incorporating meaningful audio into wedding films. Here’s more about how couples choose the right personal moments for their wedding video.
While Kodi & Frankie moved beyond the workplace crush and romance, it was cool to see how formative that was for them – it was mentioned throughout their day, filled with emotional first looks, a beautiful beachfront ceremony, and amazing reception at the Icona Avalon wedding venue.
Beach weddings are always a lot of fun, especially with such stunning early fall weather, but the Icona Avalon wedding experience was great to be a part of. Everything was right there at the hotel, making it easy for guests (and vendors like me) to get around!
If you’re planning a wedding in Avalon, you may also enjoy this Avalon Yacht Club wedding film.
You can also watch another emotional Jersey Shore wedding film at Bonnet Island Estate on Long Beach Island.

I loved Kodi & Frankie’s monogramed dance floor at the Icona Avalon wedding reception – it really worked with the aesthetic of their ballroom perfectly!
