Their Wedding Day: Crystal Point Yacht Club Wedding
Emily and Bobby’s winter Crystal Point Yacht Club wedding was such an incredible day! We had the most perfect weather, and such a beautiful day. These two are so much fun, and we had a blast celebrating them on such a big day!
When Emily first reached out to me she explained a little about their vision for the day. She said, “We are getting married at Sacred Heart in Bay Head & our reception is at Crystal Point Yacht Club in Point Pleasant. We have a very large guest list of family and friends that like to party so it will be a lively bunch to say the least lol. I’m not entirely sure what our style/theme would be called but we want to incorporate dark emerald green, gold, velvet…” I’d say she totally brought the vision to life! Their reception was a PARTY! And their color palette was so stunningly perfect! I have so many favorite images to share from this day…but first a little of their love story!
Their Love Story
I always love asking my couples to share one thing they really love about each other. I loved the answers Emily & Bobby gave. Bobby said, “One of many things that I love about Emily is her selflessness. She truly has the biggest heart. I also love her continuous search to go and try new places, restaurants, coffee shops, vacations or even find a new farmers market to explore… I’m a homebody at heart but I love that she brings that into our lives.” Emily said, “I love how Bobby is supportive, caring, as well as his drive and passion!! He’s my BF4L”
Emily and Bobby first met thanks to Bumble back in February 2019! Emily told me, “We were not the greatest at using dating apps because we’d try them for a few days and not be consistent or give it a proper chance. We had crazy schedules at the time; I was working at the hospital in NYC and Bobby was just coming back home from working on a bridge project out in WA.”
“One night I decided to try the dating app again and that’s when I saw Bobby’s profile. I thought he was too good to be true but I also didn’t want to swipe left (not interested) so I would just leave the app all together lol I eventually swiped right and we instantly matched! Little did we know that moment had changed the course of our lives and were forever grateful for it. Looking back at our beginning, it’s crazy that we met that way, via Bumble, but everything afterwards happened so organically and we quickly knew we found “the one.”
The Proposal
This proposal story is a good one. Emily told me all about how Bobby asked her to marry him. She said, “I had a feeling Bobby was going to propose soon but I didn’t know for sure. He caught onto that quickly and did a great job of throwing me off and completely surprising me. I’m so happy he did that because I’ve never had someone surprise me before! I never thought Bobby would propose on a Saturday during college football season, Roll Tide, but he truly caught me off guard on 11/12/22!”
“It was sunny and 70 degrees out, which called for a perfect morning walk on the beach with our dog, Brody. We went to our favorite spot on the beach, Egbert St in Bay Head. This was nothing out of the norm for us. The swell was huge that day, a bunch of surfers were out, and the tide brought in perfect seashells and sea glass, which I was collecting along the way during our walk-it was a perfect day.”
“Bobby was oddly quiet for the latter half of our walk but it soon made sense as he got down on one knee, while at the same time giving our dog a treat to preoccupy himself, and asked me to marry him! As if that wasn’t already perfect enough, he had his sister taking pictures nearby of our special moment and when we got back to our house, he had both of our families waiting to congratulate and celebrate with us!”
To the Newlyweds
Emily & Bobby, thank you so much for having us as a part of your wedding day! It was such a joy to celebrate you guys and spend the day capturing such special memories for you! We are so excited for all that’s ahead for you two (& Brody) in this next chapter of your love story! Sending all our love!! xoxo
