Sophie and Nick’s early spring wedding at The Ryland Inn was the kind of day photographers dream of — soft golden sunshine, unseasonably warm March weather, and a couple completely in love. The setting, the light, and their connection made every moment feel timeless. Here’s a look at their wedding for some NJ spring wedding inspiration:
The couple first met in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, after matching on Hinge.
With indoor dining off-limits, their first date took place in Central Park — a bundled-up walk through the city that sparked something truly special.
Through all the uncertainty that followed, their bond only grew stronger. It all led to this beautiful celebration with the people they love most.
Their wedding day featured soft, romantic colors — sage green, dusty blue, and dusty rose.
These tones complemented the rustic elegance of the Ryland Inn’s Coach House and Silo Bar perfectly.
“We fell in love with the space right away,” Sophie said.
“Landmark Venues also run a tight ship, so I knew the planning process would be easy and seamless.”
From hair and makeup to their golden-hour portraits, everything flowed effortlessly.
Their day was filled with joy, real emotion, and beautiful moments between family and friends.
The golden March light filled the space with warmth, enhancing every meaningful detail.
Sophie wore a classic gown from Kleinfeld Bridal, and her bridesmaids looked stunning in Azazie dresses.
Thistle Bee The Florist designed lush floral arrangements that echoed the romantic spring palette.
My Beauty Makeup Artistry and @toriana_hairdesigns brought Sophie’s bridal look to life.
La Bon Bake Shoppes created a gorgeous cake that was both elegant and delicious.
SCE Event Group kept the dance floor packed, while guests snapped memories in the Miles of Smiles Photo Booth.
Passaic Valley Coaches ensured smooth transportation for the couple and their loved ones.
From a simple walk in Central Park to a joyful celebration at one of New Jersey’s most romantic venues, Sophie and Nick’s wedding day was a true reflection of their love story.
It was such an honor to capture this chapter in their journey — a day full of beauty, meaning, and the kind of joy that lingers long after the last dance. Ready to plan your NJ spring wedding? Contact me here!
