a green + gold gala
“Ooh, baby, I love your way, every day.”
– peter frampton
Kiersten + Matt may have tied the knot previously, but that certainly didn’t stop them from celebrating in style! The pair & I first met due to our love of Boston Terriers (their pup baby Duke is the CUTEST!), and I’ve adored these two ever since. When Kiersten first described their October nuptials as “spooky, but not too spooky,” I knew the details wouldn’t disappoint. From deep emerald green accents, sprawling eucalyptus, and black taper candles, to a bevy of pumpkins and an ecto-green neon sign, the subtle nod to Halloween was encapsualted in chic boho bliss. After hitting the town of Asbury and ducking in some dark hallways for intimate portraits, the two partied it up at Cross + Orange with emo hits of yore and plenty of passed plates. Kiersten + Matt – cheers to your “second beginning”! Laissez le bon temps rouler!
