Caitlyn and Michael, The Ryland Inn - NJ Wedding Videography

As a wedding videographer, there’s something incredibly special about capturing one of the most important days in a couple’s life. Each wedding tells a unique story, and being the one to document those moments feels like an honor. This past summer, our team had the privilege of filming a breathtaking wedding at The Ryland Inn, From the intimate ceremony to the lively reception, every frame felt like a work of art in the making. Lets go behind the lens and give you a glimpse of the wedding from a videographer's perspective.

The Setting: The Ryland Inn

If you’ve never been to The Ryland Inn, it’s one of those venues that feels like it’s straight out of a fairy tale. Nestled in the heart of New Jersey’s countryside, this charming estate offers a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern luxury. The sweeping views of lush greenery, the beautifully designed ballroom, and the grand, open space make it an ideal location for a summer wedding.

On the day of the wedding, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect — the sun was shining brightly, the temperature was just right, and there was a gentle breeze in the air. It was the kind of day that photographers and videographers dream of.

The Bridal Preparation: A Quiet Moment Before the Storm

The morning began with the bridal preparations. There’s always something magical about capturing those intimate, behind-the-scenes moments — the bride getting into her gown, the quiet moments with her closest friends and family, and the anticipation in the air. At The Ryland Inn, the bridal suite is a gorgeous, sunlit space with soft tones that set the perfect atmosphere for these moments.

The bride was calm, radiant, and full of joy as she shared laughs with her bridesmaids. It’s these candid moments that I love to document, as they showcase the raw emotion before the whirlwind of the ceremony and reception begins.

The Ceremony: Love in the Air

The ceremony was held inside, in the venue's main ballroom. As videographers, we always try to capture the emotion of the moment — the groom’s face when he first sees his bride walking down the aisle, the look of joy and nervous excitement, and of course, the vows that tie two lives together forever.

One of the best parts of filming a wedding at The Ryland Inn is that there’s never a bad angle. The architecture of the venue, the lush greenery, and the natural lighting all come together to create cinematic moments that look like something straight out of a romance movie. There’s a reason this venue is so sought after by couples looking for a picturesque wedding setting.

The Reception: A Celebration of Love

After the vows, the reception kicked off in full swing, and it was everything you could want in a wedding celebration. The ballroom at The Ryland Inn had been transformed into a stunning space, with elegant chandeliers hanging overhead and tables adorned with rustic yet refined décor. The golden hour lighting shining through the windows created a magical ambiance that made every moment feel extra special.

As a videographer, the reception is always where the action happens. From the first dance to the heartfelt toasts, there’s so much emotion, joy, and fun to capture. The bride and groom shared a romantic first dance, their smiles lighting up the room as their loved ones gathered around them. The speeches were heartfelt, with guests sharing funny stories and touching memories that had everyone laughing and wiping away a few tears.
