A Joyful Celebration at
The Valley at Neshanic
On a crisp January day, Dana and Alex exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by family and friends at the breathtaking Neshanic Valley Golf Course in New Jersey. Red Bank Studio had the honor of providing full wedding photography, wedding cinematography, and photobooth services for their stunning winter celebration.
Getting Ready at Bridgewater Marriott
Dana began her day early at the Bridgewater Marriott, accompanied by her bridesmaids and her mother. The suite buzzed with excitement as hair and makeup artists worked their magic. We captured elegant detail shots of Dana’s dress, rings, and bouquet—perfectly placed in soft window light. Meanwhile, Alex prepared in a separate room, helped by groomsmen and a touching assist from Dana’s father—a tender moment we were privileged to document.
Private First Looks and Vows
Once the couple arrived at The Valley at Neshanic, the magic truly unfolded. Dana and Alex shared a heartfelt first lookon the venue grounds at 3:45pm. Their exchange of private vows was beautifully intimate, captured in both film and photo. The reactions from their bridal party added an emotional layer to the scene. Dana’s matron of honor and Chris, her Man of Honor, brought infectious energy to the day, setting the stage for candid and posed portraits with their bridal party.
Portraits and Family Moments
A structured but relaxed photo session followed, with Chris coordinating immediate family portraits. We balanced posed elegance with joyful candid shots of the couple and their loved ones. The open landscapes of the golf course served as a dreamy backdrop as the winter light softened.
Ceremony with a View
Held at 6:00pm inside the reception hall, the ceremony took place in front of large windows that overlooked the picturesque golf course. With careful framing, we avoided the bar table to ensure Dana and Alex’s ceremony was captured in all its grandeur. Their vows echoed through the hall, adding emotional gravity to this already meaningful evening.
Celebrating Into the Night
The celebration moved seamlessly into cocktail hour at 6:30pm and a joyful reception starting at 7:30pm. From their first dance to the father-daughter dance, every moment radiated love and celebration. Our team focused on journalistic-style photography and video, preserving spontaneous joy and intimate moments. The dance floor became a hub of celebration, with our cinematographer capturing every heartfelt speech and the cake-cutting ceremony in cinematic detail.
Picture-Perfect Photobooth Fun
Guests enjoyed our top-tier Pixie Photobooth throughout the evening. With props galore and a custom scrapbook, Dana and Alex now have an additional keepsake filled with fun and laughter from their reception.
