Desiree and John’s vintage, Hollywood Noir wedding details at The Washington in Turnersville, NJ was exceptionally beautiful. The colors were wine red and black, with a hint of white to set the vintage theme. Black and white photos of some of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood history decorated the reception.
The day started off crazy as the rain was pouring down. Originally, Desiree was supposed to ride in one of the incredible vintage cars we had photographed at their engagement session, but the car is original vintage and it doesn’t have windshield wipers!
What’s the best way to take advantage of rain on your wedding day? Pictures! Many people cringe when they know it’s going to be wet on the day of, but most of my couples brave the rain to get those beautiful portraits I do outdoors (along with the incredible rain portraits you can only get when it does!)
We went to Washington Lake Park for bridal party and couple’s portraits. This was also where we did the most awesome classic car shoot for the engagement session. The park has a HUGE outdoor theater, so it was perfect for outdoor portraits without getting wet.
Then we headed to The Washington for the ceremony! The guests sat at their seats as the bridal party entered. The wedding was originally supposed to be outside, but I really feel like the indoor wedding set the mood for the entire Hollywood themed reception.
At the end of the night, Desiree and John cut their cake, but then the couple surprised John’s sister with birthday cake! What an incredible way to share such an awesome day!
