Masso's Orchard Garden Wedding Video // Gianna + Niko // All in the Family

How much fun and what a pleasure it was to film this wedding! We love it when we’re given the honor of filming the weddings of our friends and family. This gorgeous wedding belonged to Violet’s 2nd cousin, Gianna, and her wonderful groom, Niko. We love and know Gianna so well… she even worked with us in the past, filming quite a few of our past brides and grooms on their wedding days. On this day, we were privileged to both film and attend Gianna and Niko’s wedding as guests!

The main wedding theme color was a deep shade of coral. This was reflected in the groomsmen’s ties, Gianna’s beautiful bridesmaids’ dresses and, it also popped as a dazzling highlight in their lovely bouquets from Anton’s Florist.

Gianna’s lovely bridesmaids wore knee length strapless dresses while her maid of honor’s dress coordinated beautifully in a longer length. Niko and his groomsmen all wore beige suits, however Niko stood apart in his crisp white tie. They were certainly a handsome bunch!

And then there was Gianna! What a stunning bride (and we’re not just saying that because she’s family!)! She wore an elegant strapless fit and flare gown that was covered from top to bottom in lace. It featured a beautiful sash with a sparkling flower detail that we just adored. And she accessorized with lustrous pearls and a dazzling rhinestone hairband. Our good friend, Amanda Atoori of Amanda Atoori Beauty Artistry, did an amazing job sculpting Gianna’s gorgeous, thick hair into a beautiful updo for this special occasion. It truly was a work of art! After her makeup was expertly applied, a luxurious veil attached to the back of her hair completed her look.

Gianna and Niko traded heartfelt love notes before finishing their morning preparations. Their sentiments were so sweet as they wrote and spoke about how they no longer have to be apart. The two endured a long distance relationship, but now, happily, those days are over! Once they were dressed and ready, they travelled to Washington Lake Park for their emotional first look and photos.

Then, it was time for them to head to the church to exchange their vows. Niko’s first look at Gianna walking down the aisle was no less emotional than their first look at the park. Their beautiful ceremony was held at Calvary Hill Church in Glassboro and officiated by Pastor Ralph Siegel. Gorgeous, lush floral arrangements in corals, peaches and white flanked the altar. There, they incorporated a symbolic cord of three strands ceremony, where each cord and its associated color represents the three units intertwined as one in the marriage: God, the bride and the groom.

After the ceremony concluded, Gianna and Niko’s reception kicked off at The Orchard Garden at Masso’s Catering. Here, a slate path leads to a massive white enclosed tent, complete with cathedral windows and a parquet wood floor. It was such a wonderful reception, filled with joy and laughter as guests danced the evening away to the expert DJ skills of Steve from Soundworks Productions. What a phenomenal wedding event, perfectly fitting for such a special couple!

Gianna and Niko make such a wonderful team and we know they’re going to enjoy spending the rest of their lives deeply in love with each other. Together, they’re going to be such a blessing to our family. Congratulations and love to Gianna and Niko!
