Anna and Travis' Road to Their Wedding Day

Richard Nieves February 14, 2023

Anna and Travis consider themselves outdoorsy and adventurous. They love to go kayaking, fishing, and checking out new areas to take a walk with their adorable and handsome golden retriever Benji. You can usually find them visiting sites like Lake George or doing DIY projects at home.

The Beginning

Anna and Travis had worked together at Colonia Country Club when they were only teenagers. Travis was the valet boy and Anna was a waitress. The spark of their bond started there but paused when Travis left the country club.

Love Separated and Reunited

Thankfully, the spark of love has a way of reigniting. The connection was through Snapchat only years later. Travis’ page was recommended to Anna and their story progressed.

They set up a date to RPM go-kart racing where Travis promptly won in about 10 seconds flat. You could say, in the end, they both won each other in marriage. Anna likes to say she'll always be his passenger princess.

Another pause in their relationship arose until Valentine’s Day 2016. They had another date and officially became the couple I got to film for their wedding.

The Proposal

Travis popped the question at outheirr favorite spot, Manasquan beach, which they visit frequently during the hot summer days.

Anna is still in awe of Travis’ proposal. He had their closest family hide and his cousin as their photographer. He even got their dogs to be a part of the moment.

The Wedding

The day started off strong at Anna’s parent’s home where Anna and her bridesmaids got glammed up. Travis and his Groomsmen got ready at their home close by.

After some prep and a beautiful first look with Anna’s father, we made our way to St. Theresa's of the Child Jesus for the ceremony.

Once the ceremony was finished and the couple had a lovely exit, we made our way to where it all started. The Colonia Country Club.

After our portrait session with Benji at the club was complete, we headed to The Primavera Regency for a wonderful reception with lively dancing, special events including Anna and Travis’ parents, and so much love to go around.

Buttons or Zipper? Choosing the Right Back for Your Wedding Dress

When choosing a wedding dress, the smallest details can make the biggest difference. Buttons or a zipper may seem like a simple decision, but this choice can shape not only the look of your gown but also how stress-free (or tricky) it feels to put on. Here’s what to consider when deciding between the two—and how to make the process smoother if you choose buttons.
