Fidgety hands and nervous smiles were flashing all about. Jesse was just a few hours away from seeing his bride-to-be. Luckily, Jesse didn’t have to wait long–he and Nicole chose to do a first look at Manasquan Reservoir.

A first look is a great idea to have before all the celebrations. It allows the bride and groom to share a special moment with no rush and most importantly, with no pressure of guests staring at them. At this time, the bride and groom usually cry together, embrace each other, and ease each others’ nerves. The first look is simply: magical.

Jesse and Nicole did just that. Their eyes gleamed as they stared at their forever-love. Nerves fell like flies. They hugged. They giggled. They were a bundle of cuteness as they transitioned into their bride and groom portrait session.

Family and friends first saw Jesse and Nicole as they walked into their ceremony location at Cross Point Church. Emotions were high, happy tears were flowing, and the joy was evident. Following the ceremony, their guests gathered at the Sterling Ballroom, where Limelight Entertainment played all of Jesse and Nicole’s favorite songs. Their wedding day was nothing short of perfection.
