Audrie & Nicholas’ Summer Celebration at The Hamilton Manor
There’s something magical about a July wedding at The Hamilton Manor, and Audrie and Nicholas’s celebration on July 18, 2025, perfectly embodied that charm. Set in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, this stunning day was filled with heartfelt emotion, radiant summer light, and timeless elegance — all beautifully captured by the Red Bank Studio wedding photographer and cinematographer team.
Getting Ready at the Hilton Garden Inn Hamilton
The morning began at the Hilton Garden Inn Hamilton, where laughter and anticipation filled the bridal suite. Audrie and her bridesmaids wore matching pajamas, toasting to the day ahead while the Red Bank Studio team documented every detail — from sparkling jewelry and delicate invitations to her elegant shoes and wedding bands.
As the final touches of makeup and hair came together, we captured tender moments between Audrie, her mother, and her maid of honor, Kait. The first look with her bridesmaids brought tears and cheers, setting the tone for a day full of love and connection.
Meanwhile, Nicholas and his groomsmen prepared in their own suite, adding the finishing touches — a watch clasped, ties adjusted — moments of quiet confidence before the big reveal.
First Look and Couple’s Portraits at The Hamilton Manor
By 3:30 PM, the couple met for their emotional first look at the iconic barn doors of The Hamilton Manor. Before the ceremony, Audrie shared a special first look with her father — a moment filled with heartfelt pride and joy. Then, as Nicholas turned to see his bride, every emotion surfaced naturally — awe, love, and pure happiness.
The couple exchanged private vows under the warm summer sky, their words softly blending with the gentle hum of the New Jersey breeze. Following their first look, we took time to explore the venue’s most picturesque spots — from the rustic barn and elegant stone paths to the striking graffiti wall, adding a touch of personality to their gallery. Natural lighting and a few black-and-white captures created a cinematic and timeless touch.
Bridal Party and Family Portraits
At 4:15 PM, the bridal party joined in for group photos filled with laughter and energy. From classic poses to candid joy, the vibrant personalities of their closest friends shone through. Soon after, the family gathered for portraits, surrounded by the Manor’s lush grounds — a perfect setting for generations united in celebration.
A Heartfelt Ceremony at The Hamilton Manor
As guests took their seats at 5:30 PM, the ceremony began under the romantic glow of the venue’s signature chandeliers. The short but emotional ceremony was everything the couple envisioned — intimate, warm, and joyful. Every look, laugh, and tear was documented by Red Bank Studio’s team of New Jersey wedding cinematographers and photographers.
Cocktail Hour and Reception Highlights
Following the ceremony, cocktail hour began in the Manor’s elegant foyer. Guests enjoyed signature drinks while mingling near the champagne wall and guestbook display. Inside the ballroom, the “Better Together” sign glowed softly above the dance floor, ready to frame an evening full of celebration.
As the newlyweds made their grand entrance, cheers erupted, followed by touching toasts from the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Their first dance was a cinematic highlight — graceful and radiant beneath the chandeliers.
From the father-daughter and mother-son dances to the surprise mother-daughter dance, every tradition was a testament to love and family. Guests filled the dance floor, joined by the rhythm of the saxophone player and the beats from Posh DJs, keeping energy high all night long.
The night concluded with a sweet cake cutting off to the side — a perfect ending to a perfect day at one of New Jersey’s most beloved wedding venues.
