On an unseasonable October afternoon, something far more extraordinary happened, Patrick Giordano and Nicole Puccio became husband and wife.  A perfect match who met in an unusual way, playing volleyball in 2004.  After Nikki’s unfortunate skiing accident in 2007, it became very clear Pat cared a great deal.  4 years later in February 2011, the day of their dating anniversary, Pat surprised Nikki by proposing at the beach in Ocean City, not on a ski sloop, which she thought.

On an appropriate day, with snow falling,  Nikki & Pat tied the knot.  Everything was perfect for this perfect couple!  No storm or trouble will keep them apart, only make them stronger.

As Nikki & Pat are enjoying sunny Hawaii, I hope you enjoy reliving this amazing day, with your Honeymoon Highlight.  I was honored to spend the day with you at the beautiful Mansion in Voorhees.  All the best to a great couple!  Tom

Aside from a cool couple, great family & friends, outstanding celebration…..what more can you say, when you get a surprise appearance from the one and only Frank Sinatra and the Phillies  Phanatic!  Unbelievable!!!  You guys pulled it off in incredible fashion!  Jay, Mike and I were honored to capture your unforgettable memories.

We began Alex & Marybeth’s video coverage on Thursday evening at their rehearsal at St. Christopher’s in NE Philly.  We grabbed some interesting and funny “1word to describe”  comments from the parents and bridal party.  Wait until you here this!

The next day began at Alex and Marybeth’s parents house.  After capturing these great moments, we were off to the ceremony.   The church was packed with people and emotion.  Loved the rally towels waving on your exit!  Nice touch!

The reception was non-stop entertainment at the Southampton Room in Philadelphia.  It was one crazy, fun party!  This Honeymoon Highlight only tells some of the story, but gives you a sense of how great the celebration was.

Marybeth & Alex, thank you so much for including us in your amazing day!  We were privileged to spend it with you!  I hope you are having a great time in Punta Cana!

The 1st of October was a stunningly beautiful day.  The sun was shining, the humidity was gone, and in Wildwood, New Jersey Krista and Owen exchanged wedding vows to become the new Mr. and Mrs. McGuire.  This fun-loving couple had a picture perfect ceremony at St. Ann’s Church where a multitude of guests got to see them walk down the aisle.  After the ceremony, Eric Bennett from Perfect Day Photography capitalized by getting photos around some of the landmarks in the area.  My favorite was Keenan’s Irish Pub where Krista and Owen first met.  Later in the evening, the reception unfolded at the Avalon Links Restaurant.  The guests certainly came to party, and it was not hard for them to do so with DJ Jimmy Mulholland behind the controls.  Everyone was having such a great time, including myself, that the night seemed to be over in the blink  of an eye.  No worries, though, Krista and Owen.  You now have these wedding day highlights to enjoy again and again.  May you two share a lifetime of happiness together.  Sincerely, Jay Garrison

9-10-11 may have been the most popular wedding date this year, and what a beautiful day it turned out to be…especially for Lauren and Steve.  The day began at Our Lady of Angels Church in Cape May Court House where the bride and groom arrived in style via a 1962 Rolls Royce!  After the exchange of vows and processional down the aisle, the newly weds were whisked away together in that same beautiful automobile.  I must say my expectations were exceeded that day.  I did not expect to see such a pristine vehicle make its way onto the beach for photo ops.  That was a great call by the creative photographer Scott Prince.  After leaving the beach and arriving at The Golden Inn, I also did not expect to see such a wild and energetic party at the reception.  You would have thought this crowd were in their early 20′s as they stayed on the dance floor until the very end of the night.  Credit is due to DJ Adam from Schaffer Sound Productions, for he knew exactly how to keep everyone moving.  Lauren and Steve, it was a pleasure to be with you guys on your big day, and I hope you enjoy these highlights.  Sincerely, Jay Garrison

What a great celebration!  I was privileged to spend the day with Tina & Stratis, along with their family and friends!  Our day began visiting the brides house in Vineland and also the Aloft Hotel in Mt. Laurel with the guys.  Everyone seemed calm, but eager to get to the church.  The ceremony took place at Saint Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Church in Vineland.  The programs, shaped like fans, was a great idea.  It may have been a bit warm, but the guests weren’t bothered as they enjoyed seeing Tina and Stratis become husband and wife.  After the couple was showered with lavendar wedding rice, we headed to the beautiful Merion in Cinnaminson for the wild reception.  Neo Kyma and his band did an outstanding job of entertaining everyone.

Tina & Stratis, thank you so much for including me and choosing Alliance Video.  It was so much fun spending your wedding day with you!  Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon in Hawaii.  All the Best, Tom

You would not think mid August would submit to a record breaking heat wave, but we all were thankful that it did.  The gorgeous weather on August 12, 2011 was perfectly fitting for this calm, cool, and collective couple in Adrienne and Ryan.  The bride and groom were not the only ones who remained in calm spirits, it was also St. Peter’s Father Dave Rivera’s very first wedding!  You would have never known, though, and this beautiful couple were united in Holy matrimony.  From there, Adrienne and Ryan travelled to the outstanding Venice Plaza in Berlin, New Jersey where things got underway for the reception.  There was great food, plenty of drinks, and a jam packed dance floor to carry the party the whole night through.  There was also a first-time experience in my professional career during the bouquet and garter event.  It was the first time I, and even the photographer Joe Clementi, ever saw two females refuse to relinquish the bouquet.  So the lucky guy who caught the garter got to put it up the legs of not one but two girls!  Adrienne and Ryan, I hope you enjoy reliving these fun moments.  Best wishes, Jay Garrison

From the moment I met Amy and Matt, it was as if I had been reacquainted with old friends.  You two were both so kind and cooperative it made me feel like I was a part of the family.  That sort of kindness definitely allows for me to be more creative and makes for some great highlights.  Such as your heartfelt vows exchanged at St. Joan of Arc Church, the beautiful photo session by the lake with your awesome photographer Heather Hibbert, and of course the non-stop party at the Venice Plaza conducted by the one and only Frank Catrambone, Jr.  It was a Rutgers themed wedding for two wonderful college sweethearts.  The whole day seemed to fly by so fast, I’m sure you will see some great moments you missed from the day.  Enjoy!  Sincerely, Jay Garrison

It was my first time at The Palace in Somerset Park, and what a place to have a wedding!  The atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous, and the service showed personal care to every detail of the day.  Perfectly fitting for our couple, Laura and Reuben.  Every step of the wedding day was a class act.  From the beautiful ceremony amongst friends and family, to the impressive spread at cocktail hour.  Your guests had already been treated beyond their expectations, I’m sure, and it only got better as the reception got started.  Jeff Balkin from Sound Connection Entertainment did a great job introducing you as husband and wife, then later keeping the bodies moving on the dance floor.  They only time they stopped to rest was for the amazing Viennese station. There were so many dynamic parts to this wedding day, I was so glad to be there with Kay English Photography to capture all these special moments.  I wish you both all the best, Laura and Reuben, and I hope you enjoy!  Take care, Jay Garrison.

Doreen & Mike were married on July 2, 2011, and what a surreal event it was.  Only one year earlier, I was amongst the same family and friends in Louisiana for her cousin Lisa’s wedding.  Now, here in New Jersey, it was Doreen’s turn.  It was so nice to see a lot of familiar faces, and even nicer to meet a few new ones.  And the South was still represented by a great bunch of guests from Texas on Mike’s side of the family.  The ceremony at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church was eloquently conducted by Father Paul.  In his own sermon he taught the crowd about the eleventh commandment, which says, “Party hardy.”  And indeed everyone did come reception time at Il Villagio.  Live music from Oasis had all the guests up on their feet the whole night through.  I especially liked the guest performance by Mike’s friend Dave.  I’ll say no more, just watch for yourself.  Sincerely,  Jay Garrison.

Veronica & Matthew were such a fun loving couple to work with.  Veronica, your good humor and laughter resonated throughout the whole day.  From the quick quip at  Sacred Heart Church, to the smashing of the cake in Matthew’s face at The Merion.  One of our long time favorite DJ’s, Mr. Mike Petretti kept the fun and humor going throughout the whole course of the night.  We hope these highlights bring back all the special memories of your day!  Best wishes, Brian.
