Gabby & Ryan’s Elegant Wedding Day at Bridgewater Manor

Location: Bridgewater Manor, Bridgewater NJ

Highlights: Gabby and Ryan’s wedding day embodied their personalities perfectly. We started off our morning with the both of them getting ready at the AC Hotel in Bridgewater. Gabby and her babes all wore the cutest pjs and socks for getting ready shots. Then we all made our way to the venue to finish getting dressed for the day. Gabby’s bestie and MOH Erin helped her into her gorgeous gown and we got some beautiful portraits of her before first look. It was yet another rainy day outside (this wedding was one of 6 weeks of straight rain for us) but thankfully Bridgewater Manor has a covered patio/gazebo so it was the perfect spot for our first look. Ryan was so adorably nervous and excited to see Gabby and his reaction was perfect. We got lots of gorgeous photos including some umbrella ones as we wandered around the beautiful grounds. Our bridal party was waiting for us indoors and the grand staircase made for the best backdrop to this elegant bunch. These photos are really timeless with a little bit of a modern attitude. The rain cleared for a second so we ran outside to pop some champagne which was so fun! Then back inside for some more dramatic romantic shots of our bride and groom. They got to relax for a bit before the ceremony which was so emotional we were all crying. Finally, finally Gabby and Ryan were husband and wife! The reception was an absolute blast with hilarious toasts including props, and dancing all night long! We ended our night back outside with umbrellas for the most romantic night shots, and then wished our newlyweds a lifetime of happiness with a slice of cake!
