Luis & Fulvia’s Wedding at The Legacy Castle, New Jersey
Luis and Fulvia’s August 7, 2025 wedding was the perfect blend of classic romance and grand celebration, unfolding across some of New Jersey’s most beautiful locations. From a heartfelt ceremony at St. Henry’s Roman Catholic Church in Bayonne to a spectacular reception at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, every moment was captured with elegance and emotion by Red Bank Studio.
Getting Ready at Hyatt House Jersey City
The morning began at Hyatt House Jersey City, overlooking the Hudson River with stunning skyline views of Manhattan—a fittingly luxurious start for such an elegant wedding.
At 11:30 AM, Fulvia gathered with her bridesmaids—Marisol Avila, Aminta Lobo Turcios, Jisung Oh, Jennifer Meza, Estefany Rangel, and Karla Rangel—in a suite filled with laughter, anticipation, and the soft hum of excitement. The natural light streaming through the windows provided a beautiful backdrop as hair and makeup were perfected, dresses steamed, and details like jewelry, shoes, and invitations were styled for those timeless keepsake shots.
Across the hall, Luis was surrounded by his groomsmen—Jorge Rangel, Eduardo Rangel, Adeel Butt, Alexei Mesones, Emmanuelle Pace, and Wilson Emestica—as they prepared for the big day. The mood was easygoing yet filled with purpose, with each tie straightened and boutonniere pinned marking one step closer to the moment he’d see his bride.
In a tender, emotional moment, the couple exchanged letters and gifts, creating a private connection amid the bustle of the morning. These exchanges often become some of the most emotional parts of a wedding film, as they reveal the quiet promises behind the celebration.
The Ceremony at St. Henry’s Roman Catholic Church
By 2:00 PM, family and friends gathered inside St. Henry’s Roman Catholic Church on West 29th Street in Bayonne, a historic and breathtaking space known for its stunning stained glass and intricate architecture. The full 45-minute Catholic ceremony included traditional elements such as the Unity Candle and the Tying of the Cord, symbolizing the unbreakable bond between Luis and Fulvia.
As the organ played and the sunlight filtered through the church’s tall windows, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by love, reverence, and joy. Red Bank Studio’s photographers and cinematographers captured every tear, smile, and sacred moment—transforming this timeless ceremony into cinematic storytelling.
Portraits at Stephen R. Gregg Park
After the ceremony, the wedding party traveled to Stephen R. Gregg Park in Bayonne for portraits. The park’s tree-lined walkways and open greens offered a perfect contrast to the grandeur of the church, providing a relaxed, natural setting for bridal party photos at 3:00 PM and family portraits at 3:30 PM.
The laughter of the bridal party filled the air as Luis and Fulvia’s closest friends celebrated the couple’s love. With elegant poses and spontaneous moments, the images reflected both sophistication and genuine happiness—beautifully balancing editorial elegance with candid emotion.

The couple’s chemistry radiated through every frame—Fulvia’s flowing gown cascading down the marble steps, Luis’s proud yet tender gaze, and the grand architecture surrounding them. Drone footage captured sweeping views of the castle and grounds, adding cinematic scale to their love story.
