Emily & Jesse had their wedding at Hotel LBI on Long Beach Island, NJ.
Hotel LBI was the perfect backdrop for Emily & Jesse’s wedding day. There were so many amazing emotional moments – like when their flower girl couldn’t wait to give Emily a hug – as well as lots of smiles and laughs.

Probably the most emotional moment was when Emily & Jesse first saw each other down the aisle. There was no faking that emotion, and it was beautiful to see them both react authentically in that moment. Their disco-ball above the dance floor really added to the packed dance floor, and it was a great night for them!
I have a specific moment in the film that’s my favorite. One of my bad “dad jokes” while filming with couples is, during a walking shot, to suggest they talk about how I’m the best backwards walker in the world. Typically, we get a little chuckle and move on. However, Emily & Jesse took this to heart and had a whole conversation about my backwards walking skills. It’s in there (though not the sound), but I appreciated it!
