Amanda’s day started at her childhood home in Toms River.  The day was bright, perfect, and full of optimism.  Amanda’s wedding is full of beautiful details.  I loved her pearl beaded purse, her jewel encrusted wedding invitations, and cream satin shoes.  Amanda’s father planted a long line of purple flowers earlier in the year, that matched the bridesmaid dresses.  So we made it a priority to have some pre wedding family portraits taken in front of them!  Like most Grooms, it didn’t take long for Matthew to get ready, making plenty of extra time for celebratory cigar smoking and drinks to start the day!  Once everyone was ready, we headed to St. Luke Roman Catholic Church in Toms River, NJ.

After the ceremony, Matthew and Amanda made a grand exit and everyone threw fresh lavender!  It looked and smelled great!  The entire bridal party headed to Monmouth University where we shot inside at Wilson Hall.  It is absolutely exquisitely gorgeous there!  I was floored and amazed!  After we exhausted our time there, we headed to the Buona Sera Palazzo Wedding Venue in Ocean NJ, just in time for the spectacular cocktail hour!  The food here is phenomenal!  The live band kept everyone dancing all night long!  Congratulations Matthew and Amanda!
