They say there’s no crying in baseball, but this grey, navy and white NY Yankees themed wedding was beautiful enough to make anyone cry. No matter how many weddings I photograph, I always love getting that rush of butterflies when I’m going through the images for the first time. There’s nothing more fulfilling than truly capturing how impossibly in love my couples are. From the moment we arrived to the end of the night, both sides of the family were so nice and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. I can’t even stress how much fun I had working with Nora and Justin. Having lots of couple’s portraits was really important to them, so you can imagine how happy I was to hear that they were giving me plenty of time to run around and shoot!
The day started off with prep at Nora’s grandfather’s house. Many women in their family had gotten ready there and photos adorned the walls of the home. Nora was a little late getting hair and makeup done, but her awesome family saved the day by finding me all of her details to get started. Speaking of incredible details, make sure you check out her unique bouquet. I’ve seen broach bouquet’s before, but this one was GORGEOUS. (And stole a little part of my heart with all the little Alice in Wonderland trinkets on it.)
The ceremony took place at St. Joachim Parish in Bellmawr, NJ. I loved the shape of the inside as the pews partially encircled the altar, and did I mention there were five long aisles to get angles from?
They chose Brigalias in Sicklerville, NJ as their reception venue and if you have ever seen this wedding venue, it’s definitely earned its popularity for a reason. There are so many little niche locations around the venue, and with such a good-looking couple to photograph, I had such an easy day!
The reception ballroom was beautiful. With ornate trim everywhere and gorgeous chandeliers and staircase, making for the perfect backdrop for the rest of the night. East Coast Event Group kept the dance party going all night (whom I love working with)! The Yankees themed cake was designed by DiBartolo Bakery and was the perfect start to the end of the night. Speaking of the end of the night, the desert room had my mouth watering. I’ve never seen so many sweets in one room before lol. In the guests words, “Most people have a candy bar. {They} had a Candy room!”
