Getting Ready at Casa Bianca, Oak Ridge NJ
Caitlyn and Lucien’s elegant wedding day began at the stunning Casa Bianca Banquets & Catering in Oak Ridge, New Jersey. With its spacious bridal suites and beautiful natural light, it was the perfect setting for those early pre-wedding moments. Caitlyn was joined by her closest friends—Holly Clark, Shannon Streff, and Tara Schappell—for a morning of laughter, anticipation, and final touches. Our New Jersey wedding photographer captured every candid laugh, meaningful detail, and joyful emotion, while our wedding cinematographer ensured each second was preserved on film.
Meanwhile, Lucien shared meaningful pre-ceremony moments with Ricky Clark, Justen Nocelli, and Greg Geiss. These scenes of camaraderie, from adjusting ties to sharing laughs, created the perfect beginning to a heartfelt day.
