Cristina and Dylan had a beautiful wedding celebration at Valenzano Winery in Shamong, NJ. We had a wonderful time together during their engagement session, and I was looking forward to sharing their wedding day for a long time after that. They’re wonderfully positive, and quite at ease in front of the camera. It’s easy to be a NJ lifestyle wedding photographer when there is so much life and style in my couple! Their wedding day started at Spring Hill Suites by Marriot in Mount Laurel for the guys, while Cristina got ready at her parents’ home in Swedesboro.

They did a first look at the winery itself, using the lovely bridge outside the front entrance as the perfect setting. A lovely outdoor ceremony followed in the warm early September air, with hints of the coming fall (my favorite season!) playing an important role in their wedding decoration style. The cocktail hour at Valenzano is typically done in the barrel room, which is just a very cool place to hang out while the reception is being prepared. The beautiful ballroom hosted their off-the-charts fun reception. We even got to sneak away after the sun went down to get a few shots in the vineyard.

I am so happy we got to share this wonderful wedding day with Cristina, Dylan, and their family and friends. Congratulations, and may you have many amazing years of wedded bliss together! <3
