Some weddings are special because of their sheer elegance, while others stand out because of the amazing people involved—Julianne & Mike’s wedding at Grand Marquis was both! Capturing this unforgettable day in July 2024 at the stunning Grand Marquis in Old Bridge, NJ, was nothing short of a dream. What made it even more special? Julianne was introduced to us by one of our past Shotwell brides, her friend and co-worker, who had nothing but glowing things to say about us. That recommendation led Julianne & Mike straight to us, and we couldn’t have been happier to be part of their big day!
Julianne & Mike share a love story that’s as beautiful as their wedding day. Both are dedicated educators—hometown heroes who inspire young minds every day. It’s always an honor to capture the weddings of those who give so much to their communities. Their wedding at Grand Marquis perfectly reflected their personalities: sophisticated, warm, and filled with joy.
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric. The venue’s grand chandeliers, elegant ballrooms, and impeccable details set the perfect stage for a night to remember. Every element of their wedding, from the romantic floral arrangements to the heartfelt moments shared, screamed timeless elegance.
As photographers and videographers, we live for those candid, emotional, and unforgettable moments. Julianne stunned in her breathtaking gown, and the way Mike looked at her when she walked down the aisle? Pure magic. The ceremony? Heartfelt.
Their reception at Grand Marquis was a celebration in every sense of the word—amazing speeches, delicious food, and a dance floor that stayed packed all night. The energy was contagious, and it was clear that Julianne & Mike’s friends and family were there to party!
Having shot multiple weddings at Grand Marquis, we can confidently say it’s one of the most breathtaking venues in New Jersey. The stunning indoor spaces, gorgeous lighting, and exceptional staff make it a dream location for couples and vendors alike. Julianne & Mike’s wedding was yet another example of how this venue creates magical experiences.
To Julianne & Mike—thank you for letting us be a part of your beautiful day. Your love, kindness, and energy made this wedding one for the books. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and adventure together!
