Bridget and Tim's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner at the Hampton Inn - Fairfield, NJ

Bridget and Tim are a super sweet couple who wanted something fun and casual for their rehearsal dinner this past April - I made my way to the Hampton Inn in Fairfield, NJ to capture it for them. It was a sentimental day from the start, when Bridget surprised her mom by wearing her handed down wedding dress, which she was so happy to see.

For portraits, there was a great spot in the outdoor restaurant area of the hotel with really pretty vine-covered walls, which made for the perfect backdrop. It was a chilly day and no one else was outside, giving us the space to ourselves, which is always nice. We headed back inside after portraits to warm up, and the two love birds went to enjoy the evening with their close friends and family.

There were so many heartfelt speeches made during dinner, bringing the bride and groom both to tears and uncontrollable laughter. This was such a special day for them and I'm so glad to have captured it.
