Ashley and Eric’s wedding at the stunning Perona Farms Refinery on May 16, 2024, was a perfect blend of romance, elegance, and heartfelt moments. This picturesque New Jersey venue provided the ideal backdrop for their love story, captured beautifully through the seamless collaboration of our wedding photographers and cinematographers.
The day began with Ashley getting ready alongside her bridesmaids at Perona Farms. Precious moments like her mother helping with jewelry and her Maid of Honor fluffing her dress were thoughtfully preserved. Meanwhile, Eric prepared with his groomsmen, sharing a champagne toast and laughter. These moments showcased the joy and anticipation of the day ahead.
The couple’s first look was a highlight, staged beautifully to include playful interactions with groomsmen, followed by an intimate “first touch” moment. They exchanged private vows under the serene spring sky, a scene brimming with emotion and love.
The non-denominational ceremony added unique touches, such as a butterfly release to symbolize new beginnings, a tequila shot, and the traditional glass-breaking moment. Every frame captured these elements, blending cultural significance with Ashley and Eric’s vibrant personalities.
During the reception, guests enjoyed heartfelt speeches from family and friends, a cigar roller adding a touch of sophistication, and a bustling dance floor where Ashley and Eric led the charge. Their choreographed first dance and joyful chair lifts were unforgettable highlights. The whimsical photo booth captured guests’ fun-loving spirits, and heartfelt messages recorded on their “After the Tone” guest book added a personal touch.
Every detail, from the floral designs to the uplifting instrumental music choices, was thoughtfully curated. The couple’s chosen soundtrack, including “Turning Page” by Sleeping at Last, set a timeless tone for the highlight video, intertwining seamlessly with vows and candid moments.
Perona Farms, a premier wedding venue in New Jersey, proved to be the perfect setting for Ashley and Eric’s special day. It allowed us to weave their cherished memories into a cinematic masterpiece that reflects their love story.
