Their Wedding Day: Hamilton Farm NJ Wedding
Alexa and Franklin’s Hamilton Farm NJ Wedding was an incredibly memorable one! These two are such a perfect match for each other with the sweetest love story. We loved every minute of this day at one of our favorite venues of all time! Some of my favorite parts of their day included the most beautiful golden hour light for their couple’s portraits after the ceremony! I loved their heartfelt personal vows they exchanged during the ceremony. And they created the most thoughtful guestbook featuring photos of them and their guests from over the years, on the pages they would sign the book! I have so many favorite photos from this day to share, but first a little bit of their love story!
Their Love Story
When I asked Alexa & Franklin to share with me one thing they love about each other, they gave the sweetest answers. Franklin told me, “I love how Alexa cracks me up all the time!” Alexa said, “I love how Franklin is always eager to tell me something new he learned!” These two first met in high school, and because they lived in the same town, they were on the same bus.
As the story goes, “Alexa’s twin sister was in Franklin’s Spanish class, and within a couple of days of the first day of school, her sister recognized him at the bus stop and they became acquainted. However, he developed a crush on Alexa from seeing her every day at the bus stop and eventually asked her sister for her phone number on their birthday to send her a text. From there, they started texting back and forth, which went on for some months until they both admitted they liked each other!” And the rest is history!
The Proposal
Now you’ve got to hear how these two got engaged! It’s such a good story! Alexa & Franklin gave me a little synopsis of the proposal! They said, “On one Saturday, they went for a walk around their local park’s walking path, which they often do. But this time was a little different. They came back to the house and Alexa went to unlock the back door. When she turned around, she found Franklin down on one knee. She thought he was joking at first, laughed, and turned away, but then realized there was really a ring there. She turned back and sort of squealed, “Wait, really?!?” Franklin was so nervous he barely said anything, but the look on his face was everything.” I love that Franklin proposed somewhere that was special to the foundations of their relationship. And even better that Alexa was totally surprised!!
