The couple, who got engaged in July, tells PEOPLE they wanted a smaller, more intimate wedding that would be "a celebration of our love shared with the people we love."

"This is definitely not a bride-focused wedding; it's more about family," Khaliah says.

Their venue, a 12-bedroom beachfront estate on seven acres in Southampton Village — was "gifted" to them by friends Michael and Margie Loeb. The 17,000-sq.-ft. house was featured in the Showtime TV series Billions.

To set the stage for their big event, the newlyweds embraced décor touches and details with a "boho-chic, French country" vibe, along with lots of fresh white florals, farm-to-table food and local wines.

"We wanted to keep everything homegrown and local," notes Flom, who is the founder and CEO of Lava Records and the host of the Wrongful Conviction podcast.

The couple exchanged personal views during a ceremony officiated by Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber of The Church of Rock & Roll. "Nadia is definitely an out-of-the-box kind of pastor, and with her help, we were able to create our own individual family-based ceremony," Khaliah says.

Wanting to keep things "simple," the couple opted not to have a bridal party. "It was just us, our children and our puppy boy, Freddie Mercury, the ring bearer," Khaliah tells PEOPLE.

The bride wore an off-the-rack dress in keeping with the boho-chic theme. The vintage-inspired mermaid design featured lace and pearls, a sheer back panel and a small train.

Flom made a statement in a bold, emerald green custom suit, accessorized with a multicolored striped tie, green Nike sneakers and Franco Beverly Hills glasses.

At the reception, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a plated dinner with a menu featuring a seasonal California salad with squash, pine nuts and locally sourced cheeses. In addition, a variety of food stations were set up throughout the venue.

The dessert spread included a donut wall, various kinds of pie and other fall treats. "The traditional wedding cake was chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! — Jason's favorite," says Khaliah, noting, "Our priorities were having good food for me, good wine for Jason and good music."

One of Flom's new, up-and-coming musical artists, Haiden Henderson, did a special performance during the evening. The wedding festivities capped off with a party on the beach complete with bonfires and music.

Looking back on their special day, the couple tells PEOPLE the wedding was "a dream come true."

"This is the happiest we've ever been outside the birth of our children," Khaliah says. "We never thought this kind of love existed. It's so seamless and easy."

Khaliah shares son Jacob with her ex-husband Spencer Wertheimer, while Flom has two children, Allison and Mike, from a previous marriage.

"If our future is one-tenth of how good the present is, then we're among the luckiest people in the world. We have a kiss quota that we haven't broken yet!" Flom says.

He and Khaliah first met through Jacob, a recent Harvard graduate who is a fan of Flom's podcast. A mutual friend, Christian Pascal, then arranged for the two to meet. The pair share a passion for criminal justice reform and work together to advocate for those they believe have been wrongfully imprisoned.

"Having found each other in this lifetime is a blessing," Khaliah says. "Not only are we lucky in love — we are best friends and partners in the fight against injustice."

Adds Flom, "We are together, living and working 24/7 — it never gets old. Even on our honeymoon, we will be working together."

Indeed, the day after their wedding, the couple plans to head to Texas to advocate for Robert Roberson, who is scheduled to be put to death on Oct. 17.

In lieu of wedding presents, the couple asked for donations to be made to After Innocence, an organization working to support Americans released after wrongful imprisonment and provide them with "consistent, effective reentry assistance to help them rebuild their lives."
