Their Wedding Day: The Mill Lakeside Manor Wedding
Jenn & Corey’s wedding at The Mill Lakeside Manor in Spring Lake was one of those days I just didn’t want to end! It was so much FUN! These two know how to throw a party and know how to have a good time, and their day reflected that spirit through and through! We had the best time capturing so many joyful moments and celebrating alongside this power couple.
From the gorgeous portraits in the gardens at the manor, to the sentimental vows at the ceremony and the absolute PARTY on the dance floor…this day was perfect. I have so many favorite parts that this blog post turned out to be a big one…but it needed to be! 🙂 Before we dive into all the photos, here’s just a little bit of Jenn & Corey’s love story.
Their Love Story
Jenn & Corey first met way back in sixth grade! Jenn told me, “We were in the same block of classes for two years and we were best friends. We have an engagement photo that is us and our 6th grade photo from a field trip! From then we were good friends until college and got together in 2017 finally, asking me to be his girlfriend on NYE.”
When I asked her to share one thing she loves about Corey, she said, “One of Coreys best qualities is that he is the complete opposite of me. He is so cool, calm and collected in any situation. For example – our house was flooding one time and I was in complete panic mode and he told me I needed to go upstairs and take five so he could handle it haha we always joke about so many different times were I am just Type A and he just Type B.”
The Proposal
Okay you’ve got to hear how Corey proposed! I love a good surprise proposal and Corey pull off a good one! Jenn told me, “Corey got me SO good. I had no idea. I am going back to school to get my doctorate right now and I was away at school all week. My three best friends had planned a birthday brunch the following Saturday at B2 bistro in North Brunswick. I didn’t think anything of it…all my friends wanted me to dress up cute and I just was not having it and wore converse and jeans. When I arrived at the table, which was outside, he surprised me and took me to the gazebo and asked me to marry him. After he took me inside and surprised me with my closest family and friends and we had a party.” How perfect is that?! Such a sweet surprise!
To the Newlyweds
Jenn & Corey, where do I even begin! I couldn’t love you guys more. If I could just keep on living this day on repeat I totally would. It was such an honor and an absolute blast to celebrate with you two and capture all the JOY of your wedding day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having us as a part of your day! Wishing you two a lifetime of the laughter, love, and fun that was felt on your big day! Can’t wait to see all the exciting things ahead for you both in this next chapter! WE LOVE YOU!! xoxoxo
