The three-day extravaganza began with a rehearsal dinner on Friday night, with the ceremony taking place at 7pm on Sunday night.
Glamorous bride J-Lo was photographed walking down the aisle arm-in-arm with Affleck, accompanied by their children, and posing for photos on the dock at the $8.9m estate.
Guests, who were all wearing white on the big day, were treated to a Southern-themed supper of lamb chops, oven-roasted chicken, and mac and cheese.
In the run-up to the ceremony, vans carrying pianos and musical equipment were seen being ferried into the venue, along with catering trucks – some containing barrels of Jack Daniels.
The all-white floral display included a grove of trees festooned with cream blossoms that were used to decorate the marquee where the couple repeated their vows.

Security was stepped up on the day of the nuptials with police boats seen patrolling on the North Newport River that runs in front of the home and stopping any vessel getting close to the property.
New security gates were also erected in the long driveway leading up to the house with a guard station set up to check names and IDs.
Affleck has owned the property since 2003 and had intended to sell it but took the lavish home off the market earlier this year.
The couple have also been spotted in Savannah and were photographed close to Perry Lane on Wednesday.
Lopez also visited the hotel on Thursday and both Lopez and Affleck were photographed at a Savannah hospital on Friday after Affleck’s mother Chris Boldt slipped on the dock at his home and cut her leg.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos showed the couple at the medical center hours before the rehearsal dinner, with Boldt seen leaving in a wheelchair.
Lopez’s mom Guadalupe Rodriguez was also present for the wedding but Affleck’s younger brother Casey, 48, was a surprise absentee – and was photographed on the day of the ceremony grabbing coffee in LA.

Damon, long associated with Affleck and a co-Oscar winner with his fellow Massachusetts native for Good Will Hunting, was spotted at the fairytale procession with his wife, Luciana Barroso.
The couple arrived at an airfield near the site of the celebration aboard a private jet.
Director Kevin Smith and acting partner Mewes – famous for their pairing as ‘Jay and Silent Bob’ – were also spotted in Georgia for the party.
Smith was seen at a Hertz rental pickup with his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, as they headed for the festivities.
Other stars expected at the party include George Clooney, Jane Fonda, Renee Zellweger, and Jimmy Kimmel.
Notably absent was Affleck’s younger brother, Casey, who said he had to miss out on the wedding due to ‘parental obligations at home.’

Also missing from the celebration was Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, who remains close friends with Affleck but could not attend due to scheduling conflicts as she is filming in Texas.
Asked why he wasn’t at his brother’s wedding, Casey mumbled ‘I have other things to do,’ then would not clarify whether that was what he said.
The younger Affleck brother looked comfortable in a pair of baggy jeans and a blue hoodie, and even smiled for the camera as he picked up a cup from Starbucks and took a call on his cell phone on his brother’s big day
It is unclear why Casey appeared in no rush to make it to the wedding — or to his mother after she was injured before the festivities, rushed out of Ben’s Georgia estate to a nearby hospital from Friday after she reportedly fell off a dock and cut her leg.

Casey’s absences is especially puzzling as the brothers are well known for being close and have worked together on a number of movies across both of their Hollywood careers.
Page Six previously reported Casey would in fact be attending the wedding.
Following the wedding ceremony, Affleck and Lopez walked with their guest towards the estate’s Oyster House, which also hosted the wedding reception.
The pair’s happy reunion comes 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call-off their wedding in fall 2003, blaming excessive media attention.
Both went on to remarry, Lopez to singer Marc Antony and Affleck to ex-wife Jennifer Garner, but rekindled their old romance in 2021 – after a more than 17 year hiatus.
Affleck’s younger brother Casey, however, was a surprise absentee – and was photographed on the day of the ceremony grabbing coffee in LA
