Cescaphe Ballroom Wedding - Jillian & Michael

I always love capturing the special moments of a couple's wedding day. When Jillian and Michael approached me about their big day, I was excited to be a part of it.

Jillian and Michael first met at Widener University at a party where they both went with other people. However, they hit it off right away while playing drinking games and have been together ever since. Their wedding marked five and a half years of dating.

The proposal was a special moment for the couple as well. It took place on Michael's birthday weekend in Jillian's hometown of Sea Isle City, New Jersey. They were having brunch with Jillian's mom and her boyfriend when they decided to walk on the boardwalk. As they were walking, Jillian noticed a little girl that looked like their niece and tried to get Michael's attention. Suddenly, the little girl started running towards Jillian with a shirt that asked her to marry her uncle. When Jillian turned around, she saw Michael on one knee with their families and friends popping out to surprise them. The couple then celebrated with a surprise party at Jillian's family's bar with their friends and family.

When choosing the wedding venue, Jillian and Michael looked at a few options in South Jersey before deciding to check out some in Philadelphia. It was there that they fell in love with Cescaphe at first sight. Jillian even got chills walking into the venue, and Michael was immediately drawn to the ballroom. They knew it was the perfect place for their big day.

As for the wedding photos, Jillian and Michael expressed their desire for photos that captured genuine moments. While they also wanted some staged photos, they were most interested in the candid shots that captured the day's emotion. They also planned on doing the last dance after everyone had left, so they were excited to have that moment captured.

Overall, it was a joy to be a part of Jillian and Michael's wedding day. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed from their sweet meet-cute at a party to their touching proposal and beautiful venue. It was an honor to capture these special moments for the couple to cherish for years.
