Addison Park Wedding Film // Deanna + Anton // Wouldn't It Be Nice

The bride and groom prepared for their wedding that morning at the elegant The Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank, NJ. Hand delivered by their best man and maid of honor, the two exchanged such beautiful love notes to each other as they were getting ready. And it was so special to be able to capture the moment when Anton’s sister, junior bridesmaid Julia, read her card to Deanna. She wrote that she has felt like Deanna’s sister long before this day when it would soon become official! There was hardly a dry eye in the room!

Anton sported a classic black tuxedo and spruced it up with those bright striped socks! We love it when the guys add a little touch of personality to their formal wardrobe. Deanna was such a radiant bride and her gown was absolutely gorgeous! She wore a strapless mermaid silhouette dress with a delicate lace overlay and a sparkling beaded belt. She accessorized with a lace trimmed mid-length veil attached to her hair, which she wore down in lovely long waves. Her beautiful bridesmaids wore peach colored dresses and the bridal party carried such pretty bouquets from Allure Floral Design in soft, romantic shades of peach and apricot. Upon their first look at Deep Cut Gardens, Anton was practically speechless. We paused at the park for formal photos with the very talented, Erin H Photography.

Their ceremony was held at a beautiful outdoor space at Addison Park in Keyport, NJ. We loved the sentimental and romantic, personalized vows that Deanna and Anton wrote for each other. Anton’s sister also read a delightful poem during the ceremony that touched everyone’s hearts. Her unmistakable love and admiration for Deanna and Anton, and them for her, was evident throughout this day, as it was for all of their family and friends. At the end of their ceremony, doves were released to commemorate this special day.

Inside the ballroom at Addison Park, their reception began with Deanna and Anton’s wonderfully choreographed first dance, followed by touching first dances with their parents. It was so clear to see how important family is to Deanna and Anton. Deanna’s sister’s toast to the couple definitely tugged on the heartstrings as well, as she stated that their love has taught her so much about what love should be. Her father called Deanna his angel, and shared the story of the song, ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, a song with special meaning to Deanna and Anton. And Anton’s best man pointed out that the two have a bond that everyone looks for in their own relationships. This couple certainly is loved by so many, and definitely has a love worthy of admiration.

Then, the celebrations turned more jubilant as the dancing kicked off! As Anton is Ukrainian and Deanna is Hispanic, the two cultures were represented in traditional dancing at this wedding event. And everyone had a blast dancing the night away to tunes provided by Sounds to Go DJs!

It was clear to see how much Deanna and Anton’s friends and family love, and admire them and how important they are in the lives of Deanna and Anton as well. And Anton’s best man said it best we think, when he stated that love doesn’t consist of gazing into each other’s eyes, but rather looking outward together in the same direction. Best wishes to Deanna and Anton for a future filled with success, happiness and love.
