Jenna and Joe’s Hamilton Manor Wedding: A Day of Love and Puppies

Jenna and Joe’s wedding day at The Hamilton Manor was one for the books. From the radiant September sunlight to the joy that filled every moment, their celebration had everything—style, love, and a few adorable surprises.

Getting Ready with Jenna and Joe

The day began at a local hotel, where I joined Jenna and her bridesmaids. Jenna looked stunning, her smile lighting up the room as she prepared for the big day. Her bridesmaids kept the energy fun, balancing laughter and tears as they toasted to her future. Meanwhile, my second photographer spent the morning with Joe and his groomsmen. The guys kept things laid-back, cracking jokes while suiting up.

But the stars of the morning? Jenna and Joe’s three little dogs. These pups couldn’t contain their excitement as they eagerly waited to see their humans tie the knot. Their anxious energy was adorable, adding a layer of charm to the morning.

The First Look and Portraits

Jenna chose to slip into her gown at The Hamilton Manor, giving us the perfect opportunity to use the rustic barn doors for some creative shots. The barn’s warm lighting set the stage beautifully as her dress hung gracefully, and Jenna’s radiance stole the show as she got ready.

For their first look, Jenna and Joe met in front of those same barn doors. The moment was pure magic. Joe’s face lit up as he turned to see Jenna, and the September sun cast a golden glow over them. The love between them was palpable.

We explored the stunning grounds for portraits, taking advantage of the Manor’s picturesque settings. Afterward, we moved inside to the Oak Room. Its speakeasy-inspired vibe made the perfect backdrop for some fun bridal party photos before we gathered everyone for family portraits.

A Rustic Ceremony

The ceremony took place in The Hamilton Manor’s charming rustic barn. Jenna and Joe exchanged vows in a space filled with warmth and love. Their three pups sat in the front row, behaving like absolute angels. It was impossible not to smile at the sight of them watching their mom and dad say “I do.”

The Celebration

Cocktail hour didn’t disappoint. Guests enjoyed a feast of delicious bites and drinks, mingling as the energy built for the reception. Inside the Manor’s grand ballroom, the celebration hit its stride. With its soaring ceilings, elegant chandeliers, and lively dance floor, the ballroom set the tone for a night of unforgettable moments.

Jenna and Joe’s first dance was a highlight, their joy radiating as they swayed to the music. Guests packed the dance floor, celebrating the couple with unbridled energy and love.
