Julia and Brendan were supposed to get married in November 2020. As we all know Covid struck and everyone’s wedding plans were all over the place! This lovely couple didn’t want to wait to get married until well, no one knew until when, so they decided to get married in an intimate backyard wedding ceremony in September of 2020. I had an honor to be a part of those special moments and if you would like to see it here are the photos from that NJ backyard intimate wedding! Well!!! July 31st was now a new date for their official wedding celebration and what a lovely time it was!!! Julia and Bredan got to have their church ceremony and Valleybrook Country Club wedding reception with all of their original family and friends there! What an incredible time we all had!!! Julia got to wear her dream wedding dress for this occasion with her most stunning veil! Her bridesmaids got to wear new beautiful mismatched burgundy dresses. What was super special for me to see was their wedding reception decor and most of it was from their backyard reception! And the best part is that they used the arch from their origianl wedding ceremony now for the reception decor! Brendan hand crafted it specially for their ceremony and I thought it was SOOO wonderful they got to enjoy it again! What was so interesting for me to witness is that despite Julia and Brendan being married already for almost a year, this event was still super special and a lot people shed some happy emotional tears. Despite it not being a ‘real’ wedding day, it felt special in a slightly diffent and very festive way! I hope once you are looking through these photos you can feel the joy and fun we all got to experience! Congratulations Julia and Brendan on almost a whole year of married life and this beautiful celebration of two of you bein married!!!
