The Rockleigh was the perfect setting for Jessica and Kevin’s glam summer wedding. Rather than emphasizing a certain color scheme, they opted for a timeless, luxurious, modern style, with the majority of their decor made up of glass, crystal, and mirrored decor. It came together so beautifully!
I can’t tell if I got more “Rapunzel” or “Goldilocks” vibes from Jessica’s long curly hairstyle. Either way, she looked like an absolute princess! Her stunning Galia Lahav wedding gown fit her like a glove and went perfectly with her glam bridal look.
Jessica and her dad exchanged a tearful father-daughter reveal – the first of many sweet father-daughter moments on his little girl’s big day!
Kevin met Jessica on the staircase to take his first look at his beautiful bride-to-be.
The garden was transformed into a romantic outdoor ceremony space with drapery, candles, rose petals, a mini chandelier, and mirrored podiums.
Reverend Jim Rooney officiated their ceremony with equal parts sincerity and humor, and a hint of Irish flare. Though they had lots of guests in attendance, it felt so intimate, personal, and special.
The food displays at The Rockleigh are truly a sight to see, and just as delicious as they look!
Jessica & Kevin shared a few moments alone in the ballroom before making their grand entrance and sharing their first dance “on the clouds”.
Yet again, Jessica’s dad couldn’t hold back his tears when they shared their father-daughter dance. So sweet!
As if enough happy tears hadn’t already been shed, the speeches were yet another tear-jerking event on Jessica & Kevin’s wedding day.
With all the formalities concluded, all there was left to do was dance and party the night away!
As the perfect way to end the night, desserts were passed around the ballroom, and to ensure that guests were definitely leaving with satisfied stomachs, a drool-worthy display of warm freshly-baked cookies and milk were set up by the exit. Yum!
It was such a pleasure to photograph your wedding, Jessica & Kevin! Wishing you all the best!! <3
