Amanda and Colin’s wedding day at The Hamilton Manor was nothing short of magical! From their emotional first look to an elegant reception filled with love and laughter, every moment was beautifully captured by Red Bank Studio’s wedding photographers and cinematographers in New Jersey.
The day began at the Residence Inn Marriott in Hamilton Township, NJ, where Amanda and her bridesmaids got ready in matching robes and PJs, sharing laughs and excitement for the day ahead. Meanwhile, Colin and his groomsmen prepared for the big day, possibly sharing some thoughtful gifts before heading to the venue.
Before walking down the aisle, Amanda shared a touching first look with her bridesmaids, capturing their priceless reactions. She also had a heartfelt first look with her father at the venue, creating a special moment they will cherish forever.
A Dreamy First Look & Stunning Portraits
At 2:30 PM, Amanda and Colin saw each other for the first time in a breathtaking first look moment before the ceremony. The love and excitement in their eyes set the tone for the rest of the day. Following this, the couple and their bridal party of five bridesmaids and five groomsmen gathered for portraits, capturing the joy and excitement before the ceremony.
The family portrait session followed at 3:45 PM, ensuring every special relationship was documented in timeless images.
A Beautiful Ceremony at The Hamilton Manor
As the sun began to set, Amanda and Colin exchanged vows, rings, and their first kiss as husband and wife at 4:30 PM. With no readings, the ceremony focused entirely on their love and commitment to each other. The romantic ambiance of The Hamilton Manor provided the perfect setting for this heartfelt moment.
A Celebration to Remember
The cocktail hour at 5:00 PM allowed guests to mingle and enjoy the elegant ambiance of the venue before transitioning into a 6:00 PM reception filled with heartfelt toasts, dancing, and celebration.
Highlights of the reception included:
• First dance as newlyweds
• Parent dances that brought tears and joy
• Speeches delivered at the beginning of the evening
• Cake cutting (without a bouquet or garter toss)
The couple considered ending the night with a send-off right after the cake cutting or opting for romantic night shots by the barn in the back—a dreamy way to conclude their special day.
