A very Happy 1st Anniversary to Jeanann and Paul!  We enjoyed celebrating their wedding day with them so much!  A beautiful, traditional ceremony at St. Thomas Greek Orthodox Church officially sealed the bond shared by the couple.  Afterwards, we headed to Trump National Golf Club, Philadelphia in Pine Hill, NJ for their reception, which was filled with both fun and surprising feats (like their first dance!) as well as many touching moments.  Jeanann and Paul are such a kindhearted, gracious couple and we wish them all the best on their anniversary!

A New Chapter // Jeanann + Paul

We were so happy to have the opportunity to meet with Jeanann and Paul a couple of times before their wedding and couldn’t wait to see them again on their big day!  They’re such a sweet couple… we knew their wedding day was going to be a fantastic fusion of formality, rich cultural traditions and a ton of fun!

Well, the big day was finally here.  Needless to say, Jeanann was such a striking bride!  She wore an amazing strapless mermaid silhouetted wedding gown that featured a gorgeous jeweled belt and incredible ruching below the knee.  Her shoes had amazing embellishments and matched the deep plum of her bridesmaids’ gowns.  We really loved her unique and eye catching bouquet which featured burgundy and white blooms, feathers and bright white lights throughout.  Simply perfection!  And Paul and his groomsmen were so dapper in their dark, three-piece suits.  The beautiful bridesmaids were ready, dressed in their matching strapless gowns and everyone was ready for this special day to begin.

The day’s formalities began at St. Thomas Greek Orthodox Church in Cherry Hill.  Gorgeous flowers from Leigh Florist featuring the rich colors of fall flanked the altar.  These blooms were a beautiful complement to the bridesmaids’ lovely burgundy, plum, pink and orange bouquets.  At the altar, Paul kept his back turned until Jeanann walked halfway up the aisle.  At that point, he turned around for his first look at his beautiful bride.  We loved the expressions on their faces – the excitement and emotion that neither could hold back at that moment. The rings emerged from their safe keeping (literally, out from the safe!) for the beautiful exchange and ceremony.

During the traditional ceremony, wonderful Greek/Arabic Byzantine Orthodox wedding rituals were performed. We discovered that many of which included repeating a task three times to represent the Holy Trinity.  One of the most important rituals was the Crowning ceremony, which symbolized the royalty of marriage with Jeanann and Paul as the queen and king of their new family.  Delicate white pearl and crystal crowns joined together by a white ribbon were presented and placed onto Jeanann and Paul’s heads with blessings, representing their unity.  The crowns were then swapped three times.  This is where their official marriage began.  Afterwards, another lovely rite performed was Circling the Table.  In this ritual, Jeanann and Paul were led around the altar three times, representing the dance of Isaiah.  It also symbolized Jeanann and Paul’s first steps as a married couple.

After the ceremony concluded, we traveled to their reception venue, Trump National Golf Club, Philadelphia in Pine Hill, NJ.  Their photo shoot outside with the pristine rolling greens in the background was incredible!  The wind was blowing steadily, providing wonderful ‘rock star’ shots for their photographer, Steven Silvers of Silver Image Photography!

Inside the clubhouse at Trump National Philadelphia, the traditional portion of the day took a back seat to the unexpected and to the fun!  Jeanann and Paul’s wedding cake from Stella Baking Company was an unbelievable work of art!  The four tiers took the ‘ruffled wedding cake’ to the extreme!  Jeanann and Paul personalized their wedding by displaying memories of their life together (so far!) in photo frames, highlighting many of the fun – and funny –  times they’ve shared.  And their first dance was a true thriller!  Kyle Michelle Weddings helped the couple to put together a truly exciting and wonderful wedding event!

And the party was just getting started!  CTO Park Central’s high energy, electric sound kept guests dancing to the hits all evening long!  But we’ll also not soon forget the touching first dances that were shared between Jeanann and Paul and their families and the traditional Bridal Candle Dance that captivated all in attendance.

We want to wish all the best to Jeanann and Paul, best friends and soul mates.  Congratulations!

My Shining Star // Stephanie + Louie

When Stephanie and Louie met at work, their friendship took off very soon after.  Louie feels it was truly love at first sight while Stephanie found a friendship with such strong chemistry, she knew it was actually much more than that.  It wasn’t too long before they knew they would be celebrating their wedding day.  Their officiant, Parochial Vicar Stephen Rapposelli, reminded them that half of being a blessing to others is marrying the right person.  This is exactly what they were doing on this wonderful day.

When it came time for Louie’s proposal, it was definitely a shock to Stephanie!  Louie had told her that they would have a special dinner with friends inside the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  After climbing those iconic art museum stairs, their friends suggested photos outside before it got too dark.  The other couple was photographed first, then when it was their turn for photos, Stephanie turned to find Louie on one knee with the ring!  Stephanie was in complete shock and it took her a little while to get it together to say ‘yes’!  Their restaurant reservations weren’t actually inside the museum, so as they walked back down the stairs, Stephanie received a phone call from her father who surprised her at the bottom with champagne to celebrate!

As they got ready for their day, Stephanie and Louie exchanged beautifully written cards.  It’s so wonderful when couples take a moment to read each other’s sentiments before the big day’s exciting events begin.

Stephanie envisioned a wedding full of crystals and rhinestones and she certainly achieved that with a perfect measure of glamour.  From her gorgeous jewelry and headband to the reception décor, elegance was evident throughout.   She looked so beautiful in her luxurious spaghetti strap wedding gown, sparkling with brilliant rhinestone accents.  And Louie was a very handsome groom in a black suit and white tie.

After their touching, traditional ceremony at Our Lady of Hope Church in Blackwood, we paused to film their formal photo shoot with the accomplished photography team, KGM Expressions.  It was a little warm that day, but that didn’t stop the group from having a ton of fun with their shoot!  Be sure to check out some of their images from the wedding on their blog!

Trump National Golf Course Philadelphia was the setting for their awesome reception.  With the rolling green hills and the Philadelphia skyline in the distance as their backdrop, their reception couldn’t have been more perfect.  Inside, the ballroom was impeccably decorated with towering glass vase centerpieces overflowing with lush pastel pink and white blooms and crystals.  Mums the Word Floral Shoppe did a magnificent job with the floral arrangements for this wedding.  And in keeping with the crystal and rhinestone theme, even Stephanie and Louie’s exquisite multi-tiered white cake from Stella Baking Company was adorned with rhinestone jewels from top to bottom!

Stephanie and Louie’s first dance was so delightful.  And there truly wasn’t a dry eye in the house during Stephanie’s heartwarming dance with her father.  We know that both Stephanie and Louie’s parents are so proud of them and are so thrilled that each has found true love.  Then, it was time for a rollicking party!  Steve & Company provided their excellent DJ services for this fun reception event and guests danced the evening away!

In his lovely note to Stephanie that day, Louie expressed his love for her, reminding her that their future will always be bright with her as his shining star.  Congratulations to two brilliant stars, Stephanie and Louie!

Making a Comeback // Boutonnieres

Years ago, men would balk at the idea of wearing a boutonniere.  Seen as old-fashioned or downright gaudy, these flashy flowers were avoided by men like the plague.

But the boutonniere has certainly made a comeback!  As boutonnieres have gotten a bit smaller and more artistic, they have become Read more

Everybody Dance Now! // Choreographed Dance Routines

Diane + Jesse choreography-1 Jamie + Nick choreography parent dance

Creating a choreographed dance routine for your wedding is probably one of the most fun and memorable things you can add to your special day.  We’re not talking here about the first slow dance by the bride and groom (where they’ve practiced the box step for months after taking private lessons at a local dance studio).  We mean the dance routine worthy of “Dancing With the Stars” or a boy-band music video!  Sure, we know it’s been done at quite a number of weddings in recent years… but we think it’s still exciting and fun and surely nothing you’ve done before!

Many couples are coming up with Read more

Elegant New Jersey Wedding // Aranya + Christopher

It was nice to be in our own backyard for this south jersey wedding!  This couple is completely head over heels in love with each other, and we enjoyed filming every minute of their elegant wedding day. The wedding ceremony was filmed at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Runnemede.  Chris’ reaction to seeing Aranya walking down the aisle was a special moment, and one of my favorite!  Claire Hudson photographed the day beautifully!  Check it out here!  The wedding day continue at Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia.  Their grounds are perfectly maintained, service outstanding, and food delicious!  We arrived with enough time to capture a breathtaking sunset.  Through the large windows of the ballroom, there’s a pristine view of the Philadelphia skyline.  Center Stage Entertainment kept the evening full of fun and dancing!  We wish the couple many years of happiness!

True Colors // Jamie + Nick

I had been looking forward to this wedding since I met Jamie and Nick!  They are amazing people and an even better couple!  As their big day approached, I was becoming more and more excited.  Kim and Ray of KGM Expressions were going to be the photographers, and I knew it was going to be great!  And that it was!  On the big day, we were excited to arrive for bride and groom prep.  They are both tight knit with their families who are very warm, caring and genuine.  Their ceremony was at St. Patrick’s Church, and it was absolutely beautiful.  The rain tried to creep in after the ceremony, but it only stayed for a few minutes before clearing.  We were able to capture gorgeous imagery at the Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia.  Jamie and Nick were so excited to be introduced and have their first dance.  Steve from DiNardo Brothers kept the secret that Jamie and her dad would be doing a very special dance.  They started off with a slow dance that then broke into everything from rap music to the twist!  They had all the guests laughing and admiring the fun they were having.  We were so glad to be part of their day, and also work great vendors!  Best wishes for many years of happiness Jamie and Nick!

Recipe for Happiness // Christina + Bogdan

Christina and Bodgan prepared for their special day with their friends and family around them! Christina’s dress had unique white flowers that  complemented the elegance of her wedding day. The bridesmaids wore long, navy blue dresses, while their flowers incorporated blues and purples. This was my first time at the Trump National Golf Club, and I was impressed!  Not only are the grounds filled with textures and color, but the staff is very friendly.  The huge windows in the ballroom overlook the countryside and Philadelphia as well as provide great natural light for the room!  The best thing about this day was the couple.  They are so kindhearted and loving not only to each other, but to their friends and family.  Congrats Christina and Bogdan!
