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

“Breathtaking” is the best word to describe the beautiful venue and beautiful bride.  As I approached The Ashford Estate for the first time, I couldn’t believe my eyes.  It was defiantly one the nicest wedding locations I have seen in my 15 plus years in the wedding industry.  South Jersey has it all!  After taking in the amazing grounds, I went to see Karen in the master suite while getting ready with her girls.  ”Karen, you are just as sweet as you are beautiful.”  It was a great moment as Karen walked down the staircase, tapping Mike on the shoulder and turning to see each other for the first time on their wedding day.  After taking pictures with the talented photographer, Danielle Hopkins it was time to join family and friends in the chapel for the ceremony.  The renovated barn on the property was another treat…what a unique setting.  After Karen & Mike exchanged vows, it was a short walk to the extended cocktail hour where the amazing food and busy bartenders kept everyone happy.  As if that wasn’t enough…the reception topped the day perfectly.  The party rocked all night long as DJ Jeff Balkin, of Sound Connection Entertainment did a great job keeping the dance floor packed.

Karen & Mike, I want to thank you again for including me and choosing Alliance Video on your wedding day!  It was a pleasure getting to know you and working for you on Saturday.  I wish you all the best on a very happy marriage.  Appreciatively, Tom Johnson
