Amanda + Charles Jersey City Yacht Wedding

Rain or shine Amanda and Charles were ready to celebrate their Jersey City Yacht wedding. Arriving to bride prep, Amanda was getting pampered and ready for her big day. Right on the harbor smiles and cheers filled the hotel suite as Amanda and her girls prepped for the special day. Elaina and John Partush of Gloss Salon had Amanda styled and looking beautiful with her updo hair style and stunning makeup. Amanda’s dress from Anthropologie was very minimal with it’s elegant look and ruffled back design. She paired it with a beaded diamond belt. She looked incredible, this dress fit her like a glove. What a stunning bride to be!

Amanda and her bridesmaids were definitely ready to party. The storm did not stop them from having a good time. Through the storm clouds these girls let sunshine and colorful vibes come through. The bridesmaids wore their own styled navy dresses. Each dress was unique and beautiful. The girls chatted amongst one another as they mixed drinks and casually got ready.

We hid Amanda as we got Charles all set to see his beautiful bride for the first time all dolled up. ” 1, 2, 3… turn around!” Charles could not stop smiling. How sweet he was as he opened his arms and held Amanda close to him. He could not take his eyes off her. “WOW!” The couple looked amazing. Charles wore a navy tuxedo from Tuxedo Junction. The groomsmen wore gray tuxedo’s with navy ties and pocket squares which paired nicely with the blush and navy color scheme the couple chose. Such a dapper group! Everyone looked great and were ready to get on the yacht and continue the party.

Amanda and Charles bridal party were extremely energetic with their outgoing personalities. The bridal party and family photographs were taken in the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel lobby. Which fit the classy party vibe that Amanda and Charles wedding party had. These photographs came out great! Such a fun group, we collected many memories for these two to share together forever.

The party continued on the top deck of the Aqual Azul Yacht. Even with the rain drizzling it did not stop the bride and groom from having their outside ceremony. Silk pastel colored scarves and little wands were passed around as the guests walked on to the top deck of the ceremony space. Amanda’s uncle John Barrett wed the couple. Vows were said and everyone cheered! Sealing their love Amanda and Charles shared a beautiful kiss. Kissing in the rain on your wedding day, what a romantic gesture!

Such a party ready group, the energy this crowd brought to the reception was incredible! Chris Marino of Limelight Entertainment kept everyone dancing and bumping throughout the night. The couple and their guests definitely had a great time. After a couple drinks and a lot of dancing, we pulled the couple to the top deck for some romantic night photographs with the night sky and skyline in the back. The rain was just a mist now and was much needed after all that dancing on the 2nd deck of the yacht.

The love between Amanda and Charles is everlasting. These two have so much love for one another and such a magical chemistry. Congratulations Amanda and Charles! As the years go by, may your smiles only get brighter and the partying never stop. Thank you for letting us celebrate this beautiful day with you.
