Olde Mill Inn Summer Wedding | Stephanie + Alexander

Weddings

Corpus Christi Parish + Olde Mill Inn | Basking Ridge, NJ

Stephanie and Alexander’s wedding day felt deeply personal from start to finish. From exchanging vows at a place that played such a formative role in Stephanie’s life to celebrating alongside their closest family and friends, every part of the day felt intentional and true to them.

Although a September thunderstorm loomed in the forecast, the day unfolded naturally. Instead of stressing the unknown, they trusted the plan and rolled with what came. The result was a joyful, meaningful celebration filled with emotion, laughter, and so much love.

A Catholic Wedding Ceremony at Corpus Christi Parish

Stephanie and Alexanderwere married at Stephanie’s childhood church, where she also attended school from kindergarten through eighth grade. It was a full-circle moment that made the ceremony feel even more special.

The ceremony was led by their deacon who is also a family friend. and his homily was incredibly thoughtful and personal. Because he knew them so well, his homily felt incredibly thoughtful and personal. Not only did it reflect their relationship, but it also set a beautiful tone for the rest of the day. You can read more about their love story in their engagement session post here.

Wedding Portraits at Cross Estate Gardens

After the ceremony, the rain rolled in. It was one of those moments that could feel stressful, but Stephanie and Alexander took it all in stride. And thankfully, just as we arrived at Cross Estate Gardens for portraits, the skies cleared.

The rain left behind the most gorgeous, soft evening light, and the gardens looked incredible. In that moment, everything slowed down just enough for them to soak it all in. The timing couldn’t have been better, and the portraits we captured there are some of my favorites from the day.

A Joy-Filled Reception at Olde Mill Inn

From there, the celebration continued at the Olde Mill Inn, where Stephanie and Alexander were welcomed by their closest family and friends. The reception was warm and joyful, filled with heartfelt toasts, lots of laughter, and a packed dance floor.

The same deacon who married them also offered a blessing at the reception, beautifully tying the entire day together. It was a meaningful reminder of the community surrounding these two — the people who love them, support them, and showed up fully to celebrate their marriage.

Stephanie and Alex’s wedding day was a perfect blend of tradition, emotion, and genuine joy. Even with the unexpected rain, everything flowed smoothly and was a testament to their easygoing nature and the strong foundation they’ve built together.

It was such an honor to document a day that meant so much to them and their families, and I’m so grateful to have been part of it. Congratulations again to Mr. & Mrs. Gandolfo!
