Teaser Tuesday

Saturday, Christina and Drew were married and the day couldn't have been more beautiful! This couple is special to me because I was lucky enough to coordinate weddings for both of the bride's cousin/co-matrons of honor, and their family has always been one of my favorites! They are an absolute BLAST! The day started with hair and makeup at the bride's house, while the guys got ready at the Stockton Seaview. Jack Mazzeo Studios was on hand to capture the day beautifully, I got to see a few teasers and they were awesome! Although we hit an early snafu with a M.I.A. videographer, after a few calls, Tom from Alliance Studios and Brian from Bri-Video jumped in to get the day on film and didn't miss a beat. The ceremony was held at St. Joe's in Hammonton and the celebrant, a close family friend, Father Joseph Capella, arranged a mass that was so personal and unique! The bride's 2nd grade students were even called to the altar and were SO excited to be there- adorable! After the "hooray flag" sendoff, we headed to The Bayview Ballroom at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, by way of Great American Trolley. The room looked spectacular thanks to the gorgeous florals by Ellie Wedding Designs and paper decor by Just Be Studio- tons of sweet pink and green gingham details everywhere! With Mark from Synergetic Sound and Lighting spinning, the dancefloor was packed from the first song to the last. He and Rob also handled the beautiful uplighting and custom monogram we projected behind the sweetheart table- it looked great! One of my favorite moments of the night was during intros- the ring bearers walked out to the Imperial March, wearing Star Wars masks and wielding light sabers- they were so into it and the "fight" they had was hilarious! The couple had such a great time celebrating at the reception, but the festivities didn't end there. They arranged for an after party in the hotel bar with karaoke, a burger and fries bar, pizza and a lot more fun! It was such a pleasure to be a part of this wedding day, and I wish a lifetime of love and laughter to Kiki and Drew. Thanks so much for having myself, Annemarie, and Lisa be a part of your big day! <3, Erin
