Alyssa and Michael’s Wedding
Alyssa and Mike’s decision to host their reception at Hackensack Golf Club wasn’t just about finding a picturesque setting—it was about honoring the place where their love story began. With Mike’s years of dedication to the club and Alyssa’s childhood spent among its greens, the choice was both sentimental and meaningful. And let me tell you, the club pulled out all the stops to ensure the evening was unforgettable, especially when it came to the culinary delights that delighted every guest.
Though their wedding lacked a specific theme, Alyssa’s love for flowers set the tone for the day. Peonies, her all-time favorite blooms, held a special place in her heart, reminiscent of cherished memories from her childhood. It was clear from the outset that flowers would play a starring role in their celebration, and I couldn’t wait to capture their beauty in every frame.
As I observed Mike before the ceremony, his demeanor surprised everyone—calm, collected, and filled with excitement at the prospect of marrying his best friend. His tranquility set the stage for a day filled with love and joy.
Alyssa, on the other hand, anticipated nerves but found herself surprisingly serene. Her radiant smile spoke volumes as she stood beside Mike, ready to embark on this new journey together. Even a brief moment of name-spelling uncertainty couldn’t dim her glow, and from that point on, it was smooth sailing.
Alyssa and Mike’s wedding day was a testament to love in its purest form—gentle, enduring, and as vibrant as the flowers that adorned their celebration. It was an honor to witness their love story unfold against the backdrop of Hackensack Golf Club, and I’m grateful to have captured these precious moments that they’ll treasure for a lifetime.
