Nicole and Steve had a beautiful winter wonderland wedding in early December at The Rockleigh in Rockleigh, New Jersey. They shared their celebration with family and friends who showed the newlyweds endless love throughout the night! Nicole’s timeless bridal style included gorgeous Givenchy earrings, silver Jimmy Choo heels, and a timeless Watters wedding gown. I was so excited that Steve and Nicole opted to partake in a first look; they chose to do it on the grand staircase in the main lobby of The Rockleigh! Nicole elegantly walked down the stairs to Steve who was waiting eagerly at the bottom for her. She tapped him on the shoulder and he immediately teared up as soon as he turned around and saw his bride!

We took a few quick portraits before their ceremony, which was short and sweet. Steve and Nicole’s guests clapped and cheered as they shared their first kiss and walked up the aisle as husband and wife. We took the opportunity to sneak the new Mr. & Mrs. away for just a few minutes for some newlywed portraits before sending them to join their guests at the cocktail hour. Their reception details included stunning florals rich in reds and pinks, which paired wonderfully with the ballroom that was softly lit by candlelight and purple uplighting. Nicole and Steve’s first dance was nothing short of romantic, complete with snow in the ballroom!

Congratulations Nicole and Steve! Wishing you my years of love and laughter ahead!

Steve’s reaction during the first look was full of emotion!

How stunning is this ballroom for Nicole and Steve’s reception?!

They’re married! Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs!

I LOVED these lush floral arrangements on Nicole and Steve’s sweetheart table. They were perfect for a winter wedding!

That cake! Look at those elegant design details!

Their snowy first dance was definitely one of the highlights of Nicole and Steve’s wedding day!
