While America was watching the ball drop in NYC, JPG Photography was with Rachael and Stephanie as they danced the night away at their New Years Wedding. Rachael got ready at her home, still perfectly decorated for the holidays. She longed for the moment when she would be able to reconnect with her rock, Steph, who was secretly donning the perfect dress to surprise her fiance at the alter.

The ceremony at Grace Church was intimate and warm despite the frigid temperature outside. We grabbed a few portraits before busting out into a crowd of cheering guest waving sparklers!  Then it was off to the The Mansion on Main Street, a beautiful location with a stunning staircase and murals. The couple was thrilled with the look of the reception, and Steph even got to enjoy a few moments mixing with the DJ before they ran off to cocktail!

We welcomed the new year with dancing, bubbly, and plenty of confections. The couple was on their feet most of the night, boogying with guests of all ages! It was impossible for Steph and Rachael to stop beaming which contagiously spread to everyone in the room as guests became red-cheeked with joy. It was a perfect night and Tracie and I had trouble leaving and once our job was done, we stayed a bit to do a little dance, as well.

Thank you Rachael and Steph- we loved celebrating the new year with you!

With Love,

Ashley
