Molly Pitcher Inn Wedding | Adriana + Marc

Weddings

Molly Pitcher Inn | Red Bank, NJ

The Molly Pitcher Inn provided the perfect backdrop for Adriana and Marc’s wedding day. With waterfront views, soft autumn light, and a calm river setting, the day felt elegant and easygoing from the very beginning.

As the day unfolded, everything felt unhurried. Adriana and Marc were fully present, soaking in each moment as it came. Their joy was felt throughout the entire day.

Most of all, having their baby girl, Skylar, there with them made the day even more special. It was a celebration not only of their marriage, but of the family they are building together.

First Look + Portraits Along the Navesink River

Before the ceremony, Adriana and Marc shared a first look and portraits along the marina behind the Molly Pitcher Inn. The October sunshine created the most beautiful light, and the river added a calm, romantic feel to every photo.

Adriana and Marc were completely at ease together. Their connection felt natural and effortless, which made their portraits feel true to who they are. These quiet moments became some of the most meaningful parts of the day.

Afterward, we made our way back toward the venue to capture bridal party and family portraits at different locations around the property before the ceremony.

A Meaningful Wedding Ceremony by the Water

Adriana and Marc’s ceremony was heartfelt and emotional. Standing together with the Navesink River behind them, they exchanged vows in front of the people who matter most to them.

Skylar’s presence made the ceremony even more meaningful. Seeing Adriana and Marc as both newlyweds and new parents was a beautiful reminder of how much life they already share.

A Tented Outdoor Reception at The Molly Pitcher Inn

Adriana is a designer by trade, and her vision for the reception was thoughtful and intentional. Colorful floral arrangements paired with clean, modern design created a space that felt elevated yet inviting. Adriana designed her own paper goods, including the invitation suite, menus, custom matchbooks, and signage.

With the help of an event designer, Adriana and Marc celebrated in a tented reception on the back patio of the Molly Pitcher Inn. They shared their first dance, listened to heartfelt toasts, and enjoyed dinner and dancing before heading indoors for a lively after-party on the dance floor.

As the evening came to a close, the joy and love surrounding Adriana and Marc never faded. Their wedding day felt like a true reflection of who they are together. Warm, intentional, and full of heart. It was an honor to capture the beginning of this next chapter for them as husband and wife, and as a family of three.
