Erin & Chris

Erin and Chris’ summer wedding at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt celebration. As a New Jersey wedding photographer, I love documenting refined, emotional days at iconic venues like this—where sweeping landscapes, classic architecture, and meaningful moments come together effortlessly.

From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, with manicured fairways stretching endlessly and the stately clubhouse glowing in the summer light, I knew their Trump Bedminster wedding would be one to remember.

A Love Story That Began at Rutgers

What began as an introduction through mutual friends at Rutgers University quickly blossomed into something neither Erin nor Chris could have predicted. Erin still remembers the unmistakable certainty she felt after their very first date:

“From the moment Chris asked me to go mini golfing on our first date, I said to myself, ‘today I met the boy I am going to marry.’ I just felt a special type of certainty that I knew Chris was going to be more than just a college boyfriend, but the person I wanted to do life with.”
— Bride, Erin

That certainty carried them from a college romance to a proposal that changed everything. During a trip to Chappaquiddick in Martha’s Vineyard, Chris planned a surprise beach proposal surrounded by both of their families. Erin—who insists she’s impossible to surprise—was completely blown away.

Choosing Trump National Golf Club Bedminster

Their search for the perfect New Jersey wedding venue ended the moment they arrived at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. With its breathtaking golf course views, manicured gardens, and grand ballroom, it offered everything they envisioned for a classic summer wedding.

The atmosphere felt both romantic and refined—ideal for a Trump National Golf Club wedding that balanced sophistication with warmth. It was a setting that elevated every part of the day while still feeling deeply personal.

Thoughtful Details with Meaning

Every detail Erin and Chris chose reflected their story. Their love for Martha’s Vineyard was woven into the reception through table numbers featuring photos of their favorite island spots. Custom drink stirrers stamped with their new last name and cocktail napkins featuring their puppy, Saylor, added playful, personal touches that guests loved.

Erin carried family with her down the aisle in meaningful ways—borrowing the crown her sister wore on her own wedding day and wearing pearl jewelry gifted by her mother. A display of wedding photos from parents and grandparents honored the love stories that came before theirs, grounding the day in tradition and legacy.

Giving Back After the Wedding Day

One of the most touching moments came after the celebration itself. Through Forget Me Knot Flowers, Erin and Chris repurposed their wedding florals into bedside bouquets delivered to patients at the Ronald McDonald House, Jefferson, and UPENN hospitals.

“This is extremely important to me as a pediatric nurse; I hope that these bedside bouquets brightened up their day just as much as they brightened up my wedding day.”
— Erin

Advice for Future Couples

When asked what advice they’d share with couples planning their own wedding, Erin and Chris offered this heartfelt reminder:

“Enjoy every moment of the day because it flies by in the blink of an eye. Take a moment at the reception and look at every guest in the room—this snapshot in time will be one of your most treasured memories.”
— Erin

A Truly Unforgettable Trump Bedminster Wedding

Bride’s Peach & Pit

PEACH: “The peach of the wedding day for both Chris and I was by far the moment I walked down the aisle. I remember walking down the aisle and looking at Chris and felt so much love and pride for each other, the relationship we have built, and the family we are starting. It was at this moment it hit me that I was in the Wedding Dress and Chris was all dressed up in his tuxedo and we were about to get married!!! Seeing my sister to the left of me as I walked down, my mom in the first church pew – my biggest supporter, and my dad standing right by my side we both felt overjoyed with love at this very moment. We did not stop smiling the entire day and we could not have asked for it better.”

PIT: “The pit of our wedding day is a funny one—after months of practicing our first dance, the band started it sooner than expected and Chris ‘wasn’t ready!’ But ultimately, it was about having fun, and we most definitely did. We also were caught off guard that one minute we were getting ready and the next, the wedding day was over. It happened in the blink of an eye but we soaked in every minute of the day.”
