I absolutely adore Melissa and Matt! After their engagement session I was looking forward to their wedding at The Park Savoy Estate so much. Rain was called for in the forecast but they didn’t allow that to put a damper on their day. They started off with an emotional first look out front of The Park Savoy where they exchanged their vows privately. After that we explored the grounds and made use of clear umbrellas when the rain decided to start. Matt and Melissa were troopers though and ditched them at times to get some beautiful portraits. The ceremony was full of more emotional tears as Melissa’s brothers walked her down the aisle. It was such a poignant ceremony filled with emotion and love. After the ceremony they partied the night away with all their family and friends in the gorgeous ballroom of The Park Savoy Estate.
South Jersey Wedding
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting another backyard wedding along the water. Alyssa and Dan had planned a wedding at the Icona in Avalon, but when the pandemic nixed those plans they bounced back and planned a whole 2nd wedding in the span of just a few months! If you didn’t know their originals plans you’d never know that this wasn’t the wedding of their dreams all along! Dan did an absolutely amazing job transforming his parent’s backyard into a wedding venue full of greenery and flowers. The decor was absolutely gorgeous! Almost as gorgeous as the bride! Alyssa looked absolutely amazing and was so calm despite the hiccup in the weather. The rain didn’t quite cooperate for us, but it gave us a few breaks where we were able to sneak out for portraits and the tents provided the perfect cover for the ceremony and reception. It was such a beautiful day filled with close family and friends.
