Their wedding day: The Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds, NJ

This Sussex County fall wedding was so romantic and extra cozy for the season!!! Jenny and Richie had had an intimate ceremony in their backyard during the pandemic, so they were overdue for a big celebration! The Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds was a wonderful backdrop for the autumn color palette and wedding details. You could feel their personal touch in the decor and special moments throughout the day. Seeing photos from their engagement session and intimate ceremony around the venue was so cute! They also took a shot together after their first kiss at the ceremony… so fun, memorable, and a great way to kick off the party!

The night ended with an incredible dessert selection and a wild dance floor! As pop-punk lovers, they closed out the night with We the Kings, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, and more – my kind of party! This adorable couple’s Sussex County fall wedding was as sweet as their love story!

Their love story

Jenny and Richie met when they were just teenagers! They were both on vacation in the Poconos Mountains during Columbus Day of 2009. When Jenny spotted Richie, she instantly thought he was so cute but was too nervous to talk to him. It wasn’t until her family friend grabbed Jenny by the arm and forced her to introduce herself to Richie! As it turned out, Richie had been eyeing Jenny the entire time, too! Jenny went on to tell me, “A lot of people don’t believe in love at first sight, or even young love, but I truly believe we had both.” You can see how true this is in how they still look at one another!

Of all the times and places that Jenny expected Richie to propose, she never thought that it would happen just how it did. In 2015, Richie’s father sadly passed away. As a celebration of his life, Richie’s family hosted a dinner in Little Italy. Throughout the dinner, speeches were made remembering his father and all of the amazing memories everyone had. When it came time for Richie to give his speech, he also snuck is his proposal to Jenny! It was truly the last thing she expected in that moment and she says she wouldn’t have wanted it to happen any other way!

Jenny & Richie,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for trusting me to be a part of your wedding day and all that led up to it! Your love for each other is so apparent, and it’s been so fun to capture that. Wishing you both the very best and the happiest future together! <3
