Everyone kept saying what a beautiful day it was for Lindsey and Scott’s wedding, and they weren’t kidding.  The sun was out, the birds were singing, and everyone could feel the joy from this wonderful couple.  It was a fairy tale wedding at Greate Bay Country Club, to say the least.  Rev. Brian Jude Piatkowski presided over the couple.  There was a brilliant string duo, a releasing of butterflies, and of course a grand kiss.   During cocktail hour, the talented and well-established Jack Mazzeo took advantage of the beautiful scenery with his team of Jen and Kevin for bridal party photographs.  Once the portraits were taken, it was time to get the night started.  The party was led by the always upbeat DJ Bishop from DJ’s Available who brought in an equally upbeat bridal party.  Lindsey and Scott shared their first dance, were graced with two remarkable toasts, then shared the rest of the night with family and friends in joy, laughter, and happily ever after.  Lindsey and Scott, thank you so much for letting us capture your special day.  I had just as much fun as the rest of your guests, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!  Sincerely,  Jay Garrison

Jaime & John were one of the most down-to-earth, happiest couples we have ever had the privilege of capturing.  Their day was held at the beautiful Stockton Seaview resort in Galloway, New Jersey.  There was a threat of rain, but mother nature knew better than to impose on this outside ceremony.  Although the aisle may have stayed dry for Jaime to walk down, not every eye in attendance could remain the same.  The vows were spoken, the rings exchanged, and the kiss made its mark.  From there, the guests were invited indoors for an impeccable cocktail hour while the bridal party stayed outside with the talented Mary Veterano from Mary Meghan Photography.  Once the portraits were taken, it was time for the party to start with DJ Paul Cole from DJ’s Available in control of the reins.  He catered to every member of the party without slowing down the flow of the night.  Once the night did come to an end Jaime thanked me for making things so easy for her.  Honestly though, Jaime, it was you, John, and all of your guests who made things easy for me.  Check out the video, and you’ll see what I mean  Sincerely,  Jay Garrison

We celebrated with Zoe & Matt on December 3, 2011 in Philadelphia.  The first-look was such a cool moment as was the couple.  Zoe & Matt chose a very beautiful & unique setting for their ceremony, The Planetarium at the Franklin Institute.  We had the pleasure of working with the great EBE Entertainment, Miami Band.  The party was phenomenal and the dancing was non-stop.  Yes, the bridal party knows how to dance!  Enjoy this quick look back at Zoe & Matt’s special day.  It was our honor to spend your day with you!

We put together this short highlight of Zoe & Matt’s wild reception.  We hope you enjoy!

Such a great party!

Probably one of the most creative couple we have ever had the pleasure of capturing, Courtney & Tim celebrated their wedding day in unique fashion.  The ceremony at St. Vincent Palloti Church was a most elegant occasion supported by a string quartet and numerous singers of exceptional talent.  It was the reception at Brigalia’s, though, where the creativity took a more prominent role.   Two days preceding Halloween, it was more than fitting to have the wedding party and guests fashion themselves to fit the theme of the Roaring 20′s.  From flappers to bootleggers, there was certainly a cast of characters in the crowd  that night.  The festivities therein were also beyond expectations.  There was a flash dance, ballroom dancers, and a first dance song specially sung by the siblings of Courtney & Tim.   Watch their Highlight now, and see for yourself!

The wedding of Toniann and Vince was a magical day filled with fun, laughter, and familiar faces.  It was almost one year ago when we had the honor of capturing Toniann’s sister Tiffany’s wedding.  Everyone was just as happy as last year, only now Toniann was the beautiful bride we had the honor of capturing. A fairy tale love story, Toniann and Vince first met when they were only kids.  They were each other’s first kiss back then, and now they kissed once again to sign their vows of love to one another.  Their ceremony was held at St. Joseph’s Church in Hammonton where many family and friends gathered to witness their nuptials.

Proceeding the ceremony, the wedding party hopped on The Great American Trolley to ride into Philadelphia.  I have to thank the photographer, Gerry Tomko, for taking them to such a quiet, yet beautiful location at The Rodin Museum.  The scenery was unique and very picturesque.  Once the formals were finished, we headed to Fishtown for the reception at Tendenza. My first time at this modern masterpiece, and I was very impressed.  The cocktail hour was one of the finest I have ever seen, with three levels for the guests to enjoy themselves.  Everyone may have gotten their fill on food and drink, but I’m not so sure about their senses because the party was a mind blowing experience which stimulated the eyes, ears, and soul.  Bob and Seth from Bob Morgan Entertainment kept the bass blasting and bodies moving throughout the course of the night.  Even when it was time to say goodbye, Toniann and Vince were surrounded by a crowd full of loved ones.  I must say, I felt like part of the crowd and was very grateful to share in the love of the day.  Toniann and Vince, thank you for having us capture such a fun-filled wedding for two wonderful people.  I wish you all the best!  Sincerely,  Jay Garrison

On March 24, 2012, Donna & Aim celebrated their love in front of a special group of family and friends.  There was such a unique blend of fun and interesting moments at their wedding.  What a nice couple and great wedding!  Donna & Aim chose a beautiful location, Atlantic City Country Club for both their ceremony & reception.  Once again, we had the pleasure of working with Paul of Dempsey Photography.  Thanks for you help and professionalism, Paul.  Chris Vito, of Over The Top Entertainment did a great job entertaining the guests all night long.

One of the nicest couples you will every meet!  We made an immediate connection with Kathleen & Charlie and it was an absolute thrill to be a part of their wedding celebration!  The day was, Friday, March 23, 2012.  It was unseasonably warm and the sun was shining on Kathleen & Charlie this afternoon.  They also lit up the room at Lucien’s Manor in Berlin.  I will never forget Charlie’s face as he tried holding it together seeing his bride for the first time.  You did well, my man!  Especially picking a beautiful woman to spend your life with!

After a moving ceremony performed by Chaplain Patrick, we went upstairs for delicious cocktails and pictures.  The food at Lucien’s is hard to top.  The staff is equally pleasant and keeps everything running smoothly.  After cocktails, it was time for Kathleen & Charlie’s grand entrance.  Our good buddy, Harold Peacock (aka. DJ Bishop) of DJ’s Available had the honor of announcing them for the 2nd time as husband & wife.

After dinner hour we showed Kathleen & Charlie’s love story on the big screen.

Here is what all of the guests enjoyed.

The evening was packed with fun and exciting moments…it’s hard to pick my favorite.  Kathleen & Charlie, thank you again for including me and choosing Alliance Video.  It was great getting to know you and spending the day capturing your wedding memories.  We hope you enjoy reliving your day!  It was perfect!   All the Best, Tom

Wow, what a day….where do we start?  Fun couple, huge bridal party, big crowd, amazing venue, well-decorated bagpipers, great food, packed dance floor….I’m just getting started.

Kelsey & Ryan united in marriage and celebrated their union on Saturday, March 24, 2012 at the beautiful Carriage House in Galloway NJ.  We began our day capturing footage of the bride, groom & bridal party getting ready for their big moment.  After the rain stopped and the sun came out, so did Kelsey to see Ryan for the first time in the courtyard.  Priceless guys!  After the buses brought in three groups, it was time for the ceremony.  Naturally Kelsey & Ryan were the headliners, but Kaelyn, Sydney Chase & Tyler did a great job trying to steal the show.  Well done kids!

We had the pleasure of working with some talented professionals.  Tim & Manny of Timothy Martin Photography never stopped and got some amazing shots.  Thanks for your help guys!  It was fun working with you!  The team at Music Express energized the crowd all night and did a great job. The outstanding sound of Pipes and Drums of the Blue & Gold were a big hit!  We would also like to personally thank Kathleen, the dining manager at the Carriage House for the hospitality. You and your staff did a fantastic job of keeping things running smoothly all night.

Kelsey & Ryan will be honeymooning in Punta Cana.  Since they are not leaving for a week, we hope they enjoy watching and sharing their Honeymoon Highlight video in reliving their amazing day!  It was an absolute pleasure working with you!  Thank you again for including us and, thanks, Colleen for finding Alliance Video.  It was a perfect day!  

All the Best, Tom  (Like us on Facebook to watch more on Kelsey & Ryan’s wedding day)

On Friday, March 2, 2012, Michael Gatto & Nicole Ott became husband and wife.  It was such a great day!  Nicole & Michael’s ceremony was held at Calvary Presbyterian Church in Riverton, NJ.  It was a perfect setting.  After their exchange of vows and greeting guests, we headed to the park for photos.  Once again, we had the pleasure of working with the talented Marc Anthony Photography and Marc’s assistant, Amber.

Now it’s off to one of our favorite and most amazing reception venues in South Jersey, The Merion.  Corrado & Tommy of A1 Entertainment were fantastic, keeping the party going and guests entertained all night long.  As always, the food was abundant and delicious!  Cliff, Sue & The Merion staff don’t miss a beat.

Nicole & Michael, thank you so much for including Alliance Video Productions on your special day!  I had a blast working with you!  We hope that you enjoy this Honeymoon Highlight while in Vegas & Hawaii.  Have a great time!  All the best, Tom
