Some love stories begin with grand gestures, but Nicole & Matthew’s began with a left swipe and a little patience. Well—a lot of patience on Matt’s end. He matched with Nicole on Tinder six years ago, and then…radio silence. For a month. But persistence paid off, and thank goodness it did, because their February wedding at Sheraton Eatontown was one of those rare winter days that felt straight out of a movie—complete with snow flurries, heartwarming vows, and all the cozy feels.

The Calm Before the “I Do”

Nicole is a literacy coach (yes, she teaches teachers—legend), and Matt holds it down at Costco, proving that the best partnerships are built on balance, patience, and probably a few bulk-sized snacks. Their engagement in January 2024 was sweet and simple—just the way Nicole likes it. No crowd, no spectacle, just love. After all, she’s not one for the spotlight—unless it’s the soft glow of a snowy afternoon on your wedding day.

The wedding at Sheraton Eatontown started with a private first look by the staircase. Cue the tears. There’s something so classic and cinematic about that moment, and these two leaned into it with full hearts. Shortly after, they snuck away for an intimate vow reading—just the two of them. No audience, no pressure, just two humans promising forever.

Winter Light & Snowy Magic

While their beloved golden retriever, Riley, didn’t make a cameo (though we know he was very much on their minds), the energy of the day still felt warm and joyful. As we stepped outside for portraits, the sky delivered the ultimate wedding gift—snow! Yes, we went outside. Yes, it was cold. And YES, it was so worth it. There’s nothing quite like catching snowflakes in your hair on your wedding day.

That soft snowfall turned their already-lovely day into a literal winter wonderland. Nicole & Matthew embraced it completely. The way the flakes clung to her dress, the soft light, the way they looked at each other—it all felt like a movie scene we didn’t want to stop filming.

A Day to Remember (and Rewatch)

From the warm vibes inside the Sheraton to the magical snowfall outside, this wedding at Sheraton Eatontown was the perfect blend of heartfelt and fun. Nicole & Matthew made this day uniquely theirs—no trends, no pressure, just genuine moments that felt true to who they are.

To make things even better? These two were referred to us by one of our past couples (we LOVE when that happens). It’s always special walking into a wedding day knowing the good vibes are already built in.

Nicole and Matthew, thank you for trusting us with your memories. Your wedding at Sheraton Eatontown was beautiful, emotional, and real—and we wish you nothing but snowy adventures and golden retriever cuddles for years to come.
