A Romantic Celebration at The Palace at Somerset Park
Nikki and Ryan’s wedding day at The Palace at Somerset Park was an unforgettable celebration of love, family, and timeless elegance. From heartfelt morning letters to a dazzling reception surrounded by loved ones, every moment was beautifully captured by our wedding cinematography team in New Jersey.
Getting Ready at The Palace
The day began in the luxurious bridal suite of The Palace at Somerset Park where Nikki and her bridesmaids enjoyed a cozy morning in matching pajamas, sharing laughter and anticipation. Her grandmother joined in this special time, adding an extra layer of warmth to the preparations. After a few joyful photos in pajamas, everyone changed into their dresses, capturing that stunning transition from fun to elegance.
Meanwhile, Ryan and his groomsmen arrived looking sharp and ready to celebrate. Our team took this opportunity to capture some of the candid interactions and details — the cufflinks, the laughter, and those quiet moments before the ceremony began.
A Heartfelt First Look and Family Moments
At 2:45 PM, the emotional first look took place in the bridal suite, beginning with Nikki and her father, followed by a touching reveal between Nikki, Ryan, and their daughter. The connection between them was powerful — a perfect mix of joy, love, and anticipation.
We continued with portraits featuring their daughter, capturing genuine smiles and family embraces that perfectly encapsulated the love story of this beautiful family.
Bridal Party and Family Portraits
The afternoon light at The Palace at Somerset Park provided a stunning backdrop for bridal party portraits. With seven bridesmaids, three flower girls, seven groomsmen, and one ring bearer, the atmosphere was full of energy and celebration. Our wedding photographers in New Jersey focused on both classic poses and candid laughter to bring out the natural chemistry of the group.
Family portraits followed soon after, highlighting the importance of generations united on this day — from grandparents to the youngest flower girl.
The Ceremony: A Promise of Forever
The ceremony took place outdoors at The Palace at Somerset Park from 6:00 to 6:30 PM. Nikki and Ryan exchanged heartfelt vows and rings before sealing their love with a kiss as their family and friends cheered. Every frame was filled with emotion, from the tearful smiles of loved ones to the elegance of the setting sun behind the venue’s iconic architecture.
Cocktail Hour and Reception at The Palace
As the ceremony concluded, guests enjoyed a relaxed cocktail hour from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Nikki’s grandfather joined for family photos — a moment we made sure to capture as a keepsake for generations to come.
The reception began at 7:30 PM, and the newlyweds made their grand entrance with their daughter, setting the tone for a joyful evening. From the first dance, where their daughter joined in, to the touching parent dances — Nikki with her dad and grandpa, and Ryan with his mom — every dance told its own story.
The highlight of the evening came during the speeches by the maid of honor and matron of honor, followed by lively dancing led by their entertainment team, Dash of Class. The bride and groom cut their wedding cake during cocktail hour — a sweet, elegant touch that symbolized their new beginning together.
