It was touch and go there when Jessica reached out to inquire about videography for her wedding date. She said her fiance, Joey, is in the reserves and they never knew if or when he would be deployed. Joey's proposal to Jessica actually came in February 2022 when he thought he was going to be deployed very soon afterwards, and proposed just a few days later. But his orders kept getting pushed back and we're happy that he didn't get sent overseas. And their wedding date ca

What a beautiful wedding this was, and a wonderful way for us to kick off the 2023 wedding season! Stephanie and Colin were high school sweethearts, just a year apart in school. After years of being together, growing in their relationship, Colin knew it was time to pop the question to the love of his life! In the summer of 2021, just before Stephanie's birthday, Colin took her to a restaurant for a special dinner right on the beach in Cape May, NJ. Afterwards, he was sure

We absolutely couldn't wait for this wedding event to arrive! Lauren and Hunter were already officially married, actually... they had an amazing private wedding ceremony in the Maldives a couple of years ago. But now, they wanted the big celebration with their friends and family to go with it! We were over the moon to be asked to film not only their wedding reception, but also the rehearsal beforehand and brunch afterwards, all in celebration of their union in marriage. A

Gianna and AJ are a sweet couple who held their ceremony earlier in the year, then gathered all their friends and family on a later date for the big celebration at their reception! The team at Cord 3 Films has known AJ and Gianna for several years and it was such a pleasure to film this wonderful occasion for them. And it was so wonderful to meet their two cute little girls, too! What sweethearts! The Lucy in center city Philadelphia, one of the newest venues for Cescaphe E

We were looking forward so much to visiting the Hamptons again for this wedding day. And even though the weather wasn't ideal, the falling rain didn't damper the spirits of the couple and their guests celebrating this wonderful early fall wedding event! Leah and Noble met like so many do, through mutual friends. Their close friends are a married couple, so the connection for Leah and Noble was simply natural. Everything about Leah and Noble, truly, seems so natural, cheerf

Shannon and Drew met in New York City, but Drew 'popped the question' in when they were out in California! The couple had traveled to the West Coast for their good friend's birthday celebration. On the afternoon following the party, Shannon and Drew went out to enjoy lunch in Malibu. The plan was to meet up with Drew's sister and her friends, just a short walk along the beach from the restaurant. But as the two strolled along the beach, Shannon noticed Drew had stopped and t

Casey and Michael met in a fun and unusual way! Their first encounter happened when she was working in retail and Michael came to her store to buy a suit. They didn't exchange numbers then, but met again online just a few weeks later. Their relationship grew and when the time came for Michael to pop the question, he made sure to keep it a secret, proposing to Casey at her family's lake house in the Poconos. So romantic! Casey and Michael chose The Palace at Somerset Park

Laura and Chris met the way so many couples meet today, through an online dating site. And as fate would have it, it was Chris's very first time on the site! It just goes to show that often, the 'first time's a charm'! That wasn't the case with Chris's proposal, however. He had been attempting to propose to Laura for many weeks, but the weather just wasn't cooperating with his plans as it rained almost every weekend. Finally, Father's Day weekend's weather was looking gre

Chelsea and Dylan almost missed their connection... not once or twice, but three times! But thankfully, love always finds a way in the end. The two met originally when Chelsea agreed to an evening out with a coworker at a historic bar in New York, but actually found herself as a third wheel on her coworker's date. As it turns out, Dylan was that coworker's date! The two had a great time that night at the bar, playing darts and talking, but then that was it. A year went by

Theirs was such a wonderful June wedding day! Kate and JJ have actually been married for a few years now and the couple has two beautiful children together. This very special day was lovingly planned to re-affirm their vows and to celebrate their marriage, and their enduring love for each other. JJ's family flew in from Europe to be there to celebrate this splendid event. And lots more family and friends joined in the celebration as well! Kate's best friend Vanessa and he

Ashley and Frank met through family while she was vacationing in California. Their relationship developed and soon, the two knew they had found their one and only. And Frank's proposal to Ashley sounds nothing short of magical! He asked her to be his forever in Barbados under the moonlight. Ashley, happily, said 'yes'! This sweet couple decided to have an all-in-one wedding event, as they got ready, held their ceremony and reception all at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston,

We were so looking forward to this wedding event! Not only is it always wonderful to film ‘down the shore’ in June, but we were also really looking forward to meeting this couple and their family… and their chosen reception venue, Congress Hall, is such a beautiful, historic gem! Katie and Gus certainly are world travelers! The two met in college while they were studying abroad in Venice, Italy. We understand that Katie actually slipped and fell into the Grand Canal shortl

Joanna and Matthew are such a fun couple and how they got together and engaged were such fantastic stories! The two met when they worked at the Wells Fargo Center, and although Joanna knew Matthew liked her, he just wouldn’t take the next step. So in order to keep other women away from him while she waited, she told a story about him to ensure they wouldn’t take an interest! Two months later, he finally asked for Joanna’s phone number. The rest, as they say, is history! M

Marianella and Kevin met back in June 2013 after she returned to Philadelphia from college. She was just one internship away from graduating from her university. Kevin was a student at another university, but they had been in the same places several times with mutual friends. Then, one evening at a friend’s apartment, Kevin saw Marianella dancing alone to a bachata song, “Corazón Sin Cara,” which translates to “heart without a face”, and asked her to dance. Their summer r

Jayne and Mike (also known to many as Fitz) met while in high school after being set up by mutual friends. Although they went to different schools, she went with him as his date to his senior prom and the two dated for a time. They went their separate ways (in Florida and Pennsylvania) during their college years, but began dating again once they moved back to their hometowns… and fell in love. Jayne’s pup Charlie was included in Mike’s very thoughtful proposal! The two alw

Genna and Scott met like so many, on an online dating app! It really is one of the best ways to find and connect with someone who shares so many of the same ideas, values and loves as you. And we discovered that Genna and Scott found a love of hiking in common, an interest that played a big role in Scott’s proposal. And we loved Scott’s surprise proposal to Genna! Scott was away in Kodiak, Alaska and Genna flew there to meet him. On day three of their adventure, they hike

It was beginning to look a lot like the holidays, and our team was so excited to be filming this beautiful December wedding event! Our couple traveled up from Florida for their big day, with their family and friends joining them in the city of Philadelphia for the celebration of the love and marriage of Andria and Ryan. Andria and Ryan got ready that morning in separate suites at the luxurious Rittenhouse Hotel, the venue in which they would later hold their reception. Ryan

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
