Getting Ready in Dover, NJ
The day began with early morning excitement as Jadzia and Tommy prepared for their big moment at 2 Commerce Center Dr in Dover, NJ. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the atmosphere was buzzing with joy, laughter, and a few happy tears. Our wedding photographer and wedding cinematographer in New Jersey made sure to capture every personal detail—from the bride’s final touches of makeup to the groom’s laughs with his groomsmen.
Couple’s Portraits at Meadow Wood
The first look was nothing short of magical. Taking place on the elegant staircase of Meadow Wood in Randolph, NJ, this moment was full of emotion and intimacy. We photographed and filmed the couple both inside on the stunning staircase and outside in the garden—weather permitting—to showcase the venue’s serene and romantic backdrop.
Bridal Party and Family Portraits
Shortly after the first look, we moved into formal bridal party and family portraits. With the morning light enhancing every image, we captured Jadzia with her bridal party, Tommy with his groomsmen, and joyful group shots that reflected the love and support from family and friends.
Short and Sweet Ceremony at Meadow Wood
The ceremony began at 11:30 AM. Guests arrived early to the elegant venue, where musicians set the mood with soft melodies. The ceremony was heartfelt and included a touching wine ceremony. Jadzia’s entrance drew emotional reactions from Tommy and their guests—moments that we captured in both photo and video. The couple shared their first kiss and a spontaneous kiss halfway down the aisle, perfectly sealing their “I do.”
Cocktail Hour and Reception
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a beautifully arranged cocktail hour starting at 12:00 PM. Our team documented the intricate table settings, floral arrangements, and vibrant ambiance of Meadow Wood. By 1:00 PM, the reception began with high energy as Jadzia and Tommy made their grand entrance. The couple’s first dance, emotional parent dances, heartfelt speeches from the Best Man and Maid of Honor, and classic traditions like the cake cutting and bouquet toss added to the memorable atmosphere.
We ended the night with a grand sparkler exit and a classic car sendoff—cinematic moments that beautifully concluded Jadzia and Tommy’s love story.
