“Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.” -Anonymous

Calla and Joseph began their forever fairytale on a warm summer day on August of 2016. The fluffy cumulus clouds sporadically strolled through the skies. The sounds of the busy city across the Hudson River was silenced by the beauty of the cityscape. The W Hoboken provided a glamorous space for the bride and groom to get ready. White walls, and large windows invited glowing rays to illuminate all that was within.

After Calla and Joseph were dressed and ready to go, we made our way to the Richfield Regency in Verona, NJ where they shared an intimate ceremony. Their reception was non-stop dancing with a live performer and DJ radiated energy throughout the night. A few dances into the night, Calla disappeared and returned wearing new apparel. As she made her depute, she grabbed her groom and swiftly transitioned into a salsa performance for their guests. Shortly after, the third surprise was in action. Joseph sat down and started drumming away on the bongos. There was no denying how much their guests enjoyed their wedding day. Not only was their big day beautiful but it was also full of so much talent!

Mom could barely hold back tears as she dressed her baby-girl.

Calla’s cathedral veil was hand made by her talented mother!

Joseph and his son, who was also the best man, share a glass of water before the ceremony.

Oh! That smile!

 As they danced their first dance, as husband and wife, they lost themselves in each other’s arms.
