Choosing the right wedding venue is one of the most important decisions a couple makes, and as a story-driven cinematic wedding videographer, I see firsthand how each space can shape the story of your day. The lighting, the architecture, the little nooks and views — they all matter. Over the years, I’ve filmed at so many incredible New Jersey wedding venues, and there are a handful that truly stick with me. Here’s a breakdown of my favorites, split between North Jersey and So

A Perfect Reflection of Their Love Kelsey and Tyler tied the knot at the beautiful Bonnet Island Estate in Manahawkin, New Jersey, and I still can’t get over how perfectly the day reflected who they are—kind, grounded, and completely head-over-heels in love. From the sun sparkling off the water to the happy tears and the packed dance floor, this was one of those weddings that makes you believe in love all over again. As a New Jersey wedding videographer, filming at Bonnet Isl

Oh Happy Day! Crystal + Christopher’s wedding at Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, NJ was everything I love about filming weddings in New Jersey—heartfelt, emotional, and full of joy from start to finish. These two wrote the most beautiful handwritten vows, and let me tell you… “Guys, we have a crier!” (I loooove when the groom cries… is that weird? 🥹) I may have shed a tear or two myself!

This film is a little different from what you’re used to seeing from me — it’s more lighthearted, more playful… honestly, it’s just pure joy. Which makes perfect sense, because Ashley and Zach are basically walking sunshine. ☀️ These two tied the knot at the incredible Artesano Gallery in the heart of Philadelphia, and I have to say — I’m fully obsessed. There are so many artistic nooks and creative spaces throughout the venue, it’s a total dream for a Philadelphia wedding vi

On this wedding day, I was the other Alyssa! 😂 I told the bride early on that if someone yelled “Alyssa!” I would just not respond — because let’s be real, they were 1000% talking to her! (Fair, honestly.) But beyond the name mix-up, I felt like more than a videographer that day — I felt like a friend. Alyssa and Nicholas are instantly warm, thoughtful, and generous, and you can feel it in your soul from the moment you meet them. Their love for their people shone through in

Before I even talk about this happy couple, I have to tell you how I met Francesca—because it’s part of the story! She remembers it better than I do, but years ago I struck up a conversation with her at a Wawa (yes, really!). From that day, she followed my work and told herself that one day, I’d be the one filming her wedding. (Clearly, my long con worked! Mua ha ha!) Enter Tom.

I’ve always loved filming Weddings at Brooklake Country Club. The staff is so friendly and patient with me when I take the details and the bride to the window in the lobby and ask them if we can turn the lights off a million gazillion times!
