There’s something truly magical about a backyard wedding—it’s intimate, personal, and full of charm. Ashley and Dan’s sweet New Jersey backyard celebration was all of this and more, filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of personality.
The day began with Dan getting ready offsite while Ashley prepared in the comfort of the home they bought together—a beautiful nod to the life they’ve already started building as a couple. Every detail of the morning felt meaningful, from the quiet excitement as Ashley slipped into her dress to the emotional first looks she shared, first with her dad and then with Dan.
The ceremony—it was truly something special. Held on the back patio of their home, the setting felt cozy and inviting, with touches of Ashley and Dan’s personality woven throughout. Ashley’s nieces stole the show as flower girls, walking down the aisle alongside the couple’s dog, who added a dash of adorable chaos. Dan’s friend, the ring bearer, brought his own unique flair to the procession, tossing miniature bottles of liquor to the guests as he made his way down the aisle.
The ceremony itself was heartfelt, filled with laughter and sweet moments that reflected Ashley and Dan’s deep connection. As they exchanged vows, it was clear how much love and respect they share, and their guests couldn’t help but smile through every moment.
When the ceremony concluded, the couple surprised everyone with a fun twist—a first dance right at the back of the aisle. It was a joyful and spontaneous moment that had everyone clapping and cheering, perfectly setting the tone for the rest of the celebration.
After the ceremony, the couple and their guests headed to a nearby restaurant for a warm and intimate dinner. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Ashley and Dan shared their first meal as husband and wife, making the day even more personal and meaningful.
We’re so grateful to have been part of Ashley and Dan’s special day. It was a true reflection of who they are—filled with love, laughter, and an unmistakable sense of home. Thank you for trusting us to capture these memories. Cheers to a lifetime of happiness!
