Campbell / Parente Wedding by J.R. Warnet

On Saturday, September 18th, 2010, Da Vinci Photography was on hand to help Melissa and Steven start the rest of their lives together!

Melissa Anne Campbell and Steven Louis Parente tied the knot at the Villa Walsh Academy in Morristown, NJ. Da Vinci Photography was there to capture this special occasion with amazing photos both inside and outside this beautiful church. Steven and Melissa were very lucky to take photos in front of the tower located on the property; which made for some amazing shots. Especially the photos in front of the wrought-iron gate! The bridal party was also able to take photos with them at the Villa Walsh Academy.
Melissa had two bridesmaids; her Maid of Honor was her sister Carissa Campbell along with friend Sandy Carlin. They were dressed in elegant black dresses and had white roses with blue violets for their flowers. Steven was joined by his Best Man, brother Matthew Parente and friend Scott Miller. Both the Best Man and Maid of Honor gave a very nice toast at the reception which was first started by Aunt Silva giving a blessing.
After the ceremony the party was in full swing at the Hilton Garden Inn in Rockaway, NJ. DJ services were provided by DJ Tommy C of Village Entertainment as the couple selected contemporary soft rock for most of the night. For their first dance as husband and wife, Steven and Melissa chose “2 is better than 1”. Da Vinci was documenting the entire night as they danced and looked into each others’ eyes. Melissa and her father chose another great song for their dance with “Daddy’s Little Girl”. Steven and his mother danced their song together to “The Wonder of You” by Elvis. The DJ kept the party rolling by playing today’s country and more soft rock well into the night. Da Vinci Photography snapped pictures the entire night and was able to capture more memories as the music played on. Some of the funnier photos came from Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” where the girls took on the boys in an all out sing-off!
For their wedding cake, Melissa and Steven chose a 3-tiered white cake with pearl accents and blue flowers across each tier. With a cannoli filling, it tasted as beautiful as it looked! In case you’re wondering, both bride and groom were nice instead of naughty as they fed each other delicately. No cake on the nose! Congratulations to Melissa and Steven on their very special night!
