Alyssa + Kyle | The Ryland Inn | New Jersey Wedding
Where do I begin with this magical winter-wonderland of a wedding!?
Alyssa and Kyle’s wedding was straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Every single element was perfectly designed and no detail of the day was overlooked. I know it was truly their dream wedding, and it was an absolutely dream for me to be able to capture it and work with these two!
I tell my brides all the time, that the weather is the only thing you can not control on your wedding day and that you just have to make the best of whatever it may be. Enjoying your day and smiling through less than perfect weather is something you will never regret doing for this once in a lifetime event! They did just that and the rain didn’t even phase them, Alyssa was the best bride and knew that the photos would be worth dodging a few raindrops for.
Alyssa and Kyle begin their day with a first look. Their light-hearted love could be felt by everyone around them, and it was sweetest thing ever to see how Kyle was just gushing over his beautiful bride during it.
The Ryland Inn is one of the most charming venues already, but with the added esthetics of Alyssa’s vision for a classy winter wonderland wedding, it was transformed into a jaw-dropping gorgeous space!
The chandeliers were dripping with greenery and the cake was dripping in gold. The cozy glow of the fire place and the long farm-style tables-capes filled with tapered candles added to the warmth and romance of the room; each table was adorned with lush garland, the custom-made snowy real pine trees made the perfect backdrop, and the snow machine added the final touch of magic as their guests danced in a whimsical blizzard!
It was a beautiful night that no one present for will soon forget!

★★★★★ Review From the Couple…
Winter wedding, captured to perfection!
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Cassondre and her assistant Alicia! I can not recommend and rave about them enough! They captured the true love and warmth that was my wedding day! They were complete troopers due to the fact that it was cold and raining on my wedding day and that did not stop them from getting the most gorgeous shots!! I was blown away by how beautifully Cassondre captured my special moments and how fast she sent me sneak peaks and my gallery! Truly professional and truly has a special talent and eye for wedding pictures! If you are searching for a wonderful and happy experience with a lovely person, look no further!
