It was fantastic to hear how Despina and Anthony met, because it wasn’t the typical introduction through friends or a dating app… it was at Despina’s mother’s bank! Her mother had been using that bank for two years and over that time, got to know Anthony a bit. One day, Despina went along with her mother to the bank and she (and everyone!) is so glad she did! Anthony couldn’t have chosen a more lovely place to propose to Despina. Indeed, he popped the question over dinner

Morgan and Kyle met on a fun “Mexican Monday” outing at a favorite local restaurant. A mutual friend had invited each of them and over $2 coronas, margaritas, half price nachos and quesadillas, they got to know each other. And the rest is history, as they say! Kyle had tried to propose to Morgan in Lambertville, New Jersey during a “walk down memory lane”, but just couldn’t get the timing to work. So the two ended up at a scenic overlook with the fall leaves changing their

Marissa and Dan met in Virginia on a very popular dating app! Marissa had just moved to the state from New Jersey and saw Dan’s profile listing New Jersey as his home. So she ignored him because she really wanted to meet someone local. But everyone is so glad Dan was steadfast in his pursuit and let Marissa know he actually lived in Virginia now! Their first date included a long walk where they found out they had so much in common. Their relationship and love only grew fr

Angelina and Daniel have been together for more than seven years, meeting at a restaurant Daniel worked in when they were both still in school. And his proposal couldn’t have had a more beautiful, more exciting backdrop! He took Angelina to a top sushi restaurant in New York City, then they ferried to Jersey City. With the bright skyline in the background, he asked Angelina to be his wife. Daniel had a photographer there as a surprise to capture the moment, then had anoth

Caroline and Kevin met in a junior sailing program at Mantoloking Yacht Club ‘down the shore’ in New Jersey when they were just 12 and 13 years old. They were competitors at the time, but later became good friends and went on to attend the same high school and college. Their relationship developed over time, becoming a deep and lasting love. And what better place for Kevin to propose years later than on the same docks on the bay at Mantoloking Yacht Club where it all began

Morgan and Zack have known each other for most of their lives as their families are longtime friends. But what brought them together as a couple was the day Morgan got her car stuck in the sand in Wildwood, New Jersey! Zack was there and saved the day! And the two have been inseparable and in love ever since. Zack made sure to propose in the spot where their relationship began, but actually not there in the sand… He’s a pilot and Morgan loves flying with him (as well as w

Taylor and Brian met while in high school during the summer of their junior year, and the two have been together ever since then! As it turns out, Brian chose a very memorable day to propose to Taylor! He surprised Taylor with a fall pumpkin picking trip, letting her know that her family would meet them there as well. But on that November day, it actually snowed and the farm shut down due to the inclement weather! Brian scrambled together another plan, taking Taylor to a h

Maddie and Andrew met during orientation as college freshmen floormates. And what started as a friendship… sharing meals, doing homework together, learning how to play squash… turned into what they both knew was something more after an amazing evening spent dancing the night away. And we love the iconic place that Andrew chose to propose! The two were traveling out west and visiting many beautiful National Parks in Arizona and Utah, the Grand Canyon, of course, being includ

It was the Fourth of July holiday weekend when Paulina and Adam tied the knot, another wonderful reason to celebrate! The weather was a little cooler, but the skies stayed mostly clear and their wedding day was absolutely perfect! Paulina got ready for the day at her family home in New Jersey, while Adam got dressed with his groomsmen at a nearby hotel. Paulina’s mother helped her button up her gown and fasten her veil for this special day. Her lovely wedding dress had a f

Janine says Ben’s proposal was magical and we definitely agree! The two have always celebrated Valentine’s Day at Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and they went down to enjoy the weekend together for the holiday. On the day after Valentine’s, Janine and Ben spent some time shopping and driving around the island and ended up on the bay at Janine’s mother’s beach home. As they pulled up, she saw all of their family members there waiting on the bay for them! Ben got down on on

We’re so overjoyed that the new wedding season is really getting into full swing now, and with it already feeling so much like summer on this beautiful day, it was simply made for a wedding event ‘down the shore’! We were looking forward to working with this couple and their lovely bayside wedding location was just icing on the cake! Lauren and Alex met at work as they both gained employment at the same bank in Manhattan after graduating college. As with many relationships,

Emily and Zak always wanted a spring wedding, and this ideal early-spring day could not have been more perfect for them! The weather was incredible, unseasonably warm and sunny, and their family and friends were all there to support them and celebrate with them at their wonderful wedding event! This sweet couple met through mutual friends while they were in high school. Shortly afterwards, Zak asked Emily if she would go with him to his junior prom, and she happily did. Af

Rachel and Zach met in college when they were introduced by one of Rachel’s friends who had known Zach in high school. As it turned out, Zach lived down the hall from Rachel for two years! The two dated for about 10 years and talked openly about getting married, even picking out rings for the big day. But no official proposal had been made… Zach had a plan though, of course. One September evening in 2019, Zach took Rachel and her best friend, who was visiting from Florida,

We were so excited for this wedding day to arrive! Not only were we going to finally see the lovely wedding venue, Renault Winery, after its recent impressive remodel, but we were excited to be working with and filming such a wonderful couple on their wedding day. Kristin and Ryan have known each other for a long time… they actually met in kindergarten! Their paths crossed again once they reached high school, but following graduation, Kristin and Ryan went in different dire

We were so overjoyed to be filming this very special wedding ceremony for Melissa and Devin! A few years earlier, we had the pleasure of filming the wedding of Melissa’s sister, Tiffany, and her husband Jeffrey, and we were looking forward so much to seeing this wonderful family once again, as well as to our first wedding of the very delayed 2020 wedding season. It was fantastic to work with Melissa and Devin and their September wedding ceremony day was absolutely perfect!

Lindsay and Bill met by chance in a bar in Boston while Lindsay was up from New Jersey visiting a friend, and their meeting definitely was meant to be. The first time they got together after that first encounter, they spent two full days with each other and Lindsay describes it as feeling so natural, so normal! That’s exactly how she knew this was more than just a fling. When you know you’ve found ‘the one’, you just know. The two have been together ever since their very

This was a day we simply couldn’t wait for! Lisa, a fantastic filmmaker, and her sweet fiancé, Dan (known to his friends as Fim), were getting married! Lisa worked with us here at Cord 3 Films for several years but left to pursue her other love (caring for horses) and we miss her so very much. But we were thrilled to get to be a part of capturing her wedding day, a day that was so perfectly ‘Lisa and Dan’! Lisa and Dan actually went to the same high school but they never s

Maddie and John held their amazing wedding event at the place where John proposed, the beautiful beach at Cape May! The weather was simply outstanding for a wedding on this sunny, fall day. That morning, John and his groomsmen got ready for the big day at The White Cottage, a beachy rental right next to their reception venue. They wore classic black tuxedos the the event, but sported those apropos bright beach umbrella socks to add a fun touch to their traditional attire!

We were so happy when we received an inquiry from Mike one day as he was reaching out for more information on our videography services. Mike is a freelance cinematographer, and our conversations with him were so fantastic as he described what he was looking for in his own videography for his wedding day. We couldn’t wait to meet his fianceé, Kaitlyn as well, and looked forward to their wedding event which was over sixteen months from our initial conversations! Kaitlyn and M

We were thrilled that we were available for this wedding day when Kimber’s mother, Kerry sent us an inquiry through our website! It was so wonderful to speak with the two of them as they discussed their plans with excitement, and we couldn’t have been happier that they chose The Ashford Estate for their entire day’s events! Kimber and Rob met each other as freshmen in high school and knew by the time that they moved into their first apartment five years ago that they were go
