“Ooh baby, I love your way, everyday.”
– big mountain
Kristen & Pat are married! These two tied the knot on a gorgeous November day at one of my favorite venues – Porta in Asbury Park. The pair call Jersey City home, and their wedding completely embodied the vibes of the town they love so much – chic elegance, urban industrial, clean modern, and a whole heck of a lot of fun. I knew the day was going to be a blast from the moment I laid eyes on Kristen’s crystal-encrusted Betsey Johnson boots! And I was certainly not disappointed; from Pat’s sharp navy & black tux combo to the couple’s signature cocktails featuring their beloved pup Henry as well as the never-ending pizza and dance party that followed their sweet ceremony, Kristen & Pat truly said “I do” in style. Cheers to a lifetime of rooftop views, constant adventures, and Margherita pies!
