Claire & Rich’s Transcontinental Love Story

Location: One Willow - Atlantic Highlands, NJ

Highlights: Claire & Rich’s love story began when they literally ran into each other at a pub one night (almost exactly 10 years to the day of their wedding!) Claire had just arrived in the UK and was at the only pub open late to allow Americans to watch the Super Bowl. Rich showed up after a night of drinking, stopping in to his friend Harry’s parents pub to see what all the fuss was about. When Claire came out of the bathroom, she walked right into Rich. After exchanging some unpleasantries, the flirting began… and here we are 10 years later, at their wedding, where of course the best person to officiate was Harry! He did a great job and had everybody laughing and at ease in this ceremony that was very true to our couple’s personalities. It made the day so much more special.

We started off the day getting ready at Claire’s parents house and then made our way to Riverside Park for our first look and bridal party pix. Everyone braved the cold like champs and we love how Claire and Rich kept saying they weren’t feeling cold at all because they were just so happy! Then we warmed up at our beautiful venue, One Willow which sits on the water in the Atlantic Highlands. The view was perfect, the ceremony was HILARIOUS, and dinner and dancing were epic. We got gorgeous sunset shots up on the roof, and ended our night back outside for a smoke - sponsored by our dear friend Harry. Cheers to a perfect love story and the perfect couple!
