Getting Ready at the Lambertville Inn
Nina and Rich began their wedding day by getting ready in separate hotel rooms at the Lambertville Inn. Rich enjoyed a relaxed, laid-back morning with his dad, wisely separated from his twin brother (and best man) to avoid any hilarious confusion. Nina spent a beautiful morning overlooking the river and bridge, calmly preparing despite a brief July storm. Her look came together beautifully with amazing makeup and hairstyling by Kristen Fiori of Parlour G. A fun little detail was Nina’s bedazzled walkie-talkie, a charming wedding-day gift she proudly used throughout the day.
