Jillian and Chris are from California, so I had the pleasure getting to know her mom, Diana, a bit during the whole wedding planning process. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous having not met Jillian or Chris until the day of the wedding, but I honestly couldn’t have been happier! They are such an upbeat couple, who didn’t let anything, not even the rain of the day, uh…rain on their parade. Jillian, knowing that there was a very specific picture that she wanted, sat on a soaking wet adirondack chair, in the rain, to make her wedding picture dream come true.

Their wedding reception was set in the backyard of Jillian’s parent’s dream home, overlooking the water in Oceanport, NJ, under a beautiful white tent (aka, best softbox ever). The whole crew was there, having a blast because this reception was full of serious party-ers! The dance floor wasn’t empty for a second.

EnJOY!
