Okay, so I have been dying to post this one!  Stephanie and Jonathan, better known as JZ (yes, JZ) had a gorgeous winter wedding that began friday night with a surprise Clydesdale appearance at the rehearsal dinner, and continued well into saturday night with lots of fun and food and dancing with family and friends!

the verrrrry near future LOL

and on to the wedding day!!  We will start with the stunning details… how cute is that wood burned ring box?!?

Flawless makeup and hair by Danielle Erb and her team at Daniellestyle

Time to get into that gown!

While I was hanging with the ladies, Mer was with JZ and the guys & they are looking pretty spiffy too!

here she comes!

We left for a  few photos of just the bride and groom while the rest of the wedding party finished getting ready, and we found a little bit of fall color still remaining!

incredble bouquet by Festive Couture

stunning light on a stunning bride

those leaves!!

Now to meet up with the rest of the gang!  I loved these gold dresses!

❤️LOVE❤️

S&J get to see a sneak peek of the ballroom before the ceremony… I think they like it LOL (and a fun moment for Simcha from Simcha’s events too!)

A quick first dance rehearsal was in order since they had the room to themselves!

and also a few terrace photos just after sunset

sky=pantone dual colors of the year!! (rose quartz & serenity)

*swoon*

jaw droppingly cool place card table

pashminas, blankets, and warm cider to stay cozy during the outdoor night ceremony

a pretty candle lit aisle with the bridge in the background

The ketubah signing is when the couple is officially married, and it is always one of my favorite parts of the day!

Sometimes when you toss back the tail end of the wine, your yarmulke falls off  :D

so happy walking down the aisle

Stomping the glass and a kiss seals the deal!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Z!

The Caramel Room was warm and inviting with hundreds of golden candles, gorgeous wood burned place settings, and lots of orchids.

fun snacks!

a stolen moment on the rooftop before the party kicks off…

a little surprise flash mob action

up, up, and away….

I think this one wins for wildest ride.

Memphis Soul Revue was a blast!!

Confetti cannon!!

Thank you for a fun, fun day and for letting Mer and I capture it all!  with love, Kate
