Wedding recap: Celeste + Jarek

July 20, 2023

We wrapped up the night with a high-energy send-off, followed by some epic group shots from the balcony.
Being part of a day this full of love, laughter, and pure joy was something special. I’m pretty sure the only tears shed were happy ones—especially when that conga line took off. 😉

ON A PICTURESQUE JUNE 10TH AFTERNOON, I EMBARKED ON A DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY TO THE CHARMING VENUE, OCCASIONS AT STONE RIVER, NESTLED IN THE TOWN OF ROYSE CITY, TO CAPTURE THE WEDDING OF THE LOVELY COUPLE, CELESTE AND JAREK.



From the moment I arrived, the energy was contagious. Celeste’s bridesmaids welcomed me into the bridal suite with open arms, filling the room with laughter, the pop of champagne corks, and music setting the tone for the day. Celeste, glowing in her adorable bridal PJs, greeted me with a warm smile, and I jumped right in, capturing all the beautiful details she had so thoughtfully chosen.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the groom and his groomsmen were having their own pre-wedding celebration with the sound of rap and party music spilling into the halls. I made my way to the boys, snapping photos of them with beers in hand, hyping Jarek up, and helping each other with ties and vests.

Though distance kept some of Celeste’s loved ones from attending, her father and a few family members made the journey all the way from Argentina to be by her side. The emotion was undeniable as he not only saw his daughter in her wedding gown for the very first time, but also as he watched his little girl marry the love of her life.

The ceremony itself? Absolute perfection.

As if the day wasn’t already magical enough, the sky put on a show of its own—soft, cotton-like clouds rolling in after a passing storm that miraculously spared the outdoor festivities. The ring bearers—sorry, I mean security detail—took their job very seriously, scanning the aisle before the bride’s grand entrance, followed by the most stylish flower girl making her debut in a decked-out ride.

The reception kicked off with a burst of energy, and the dance floor was packed from the start. By the time the mother-son dance wrapped up, everyone was already caught up in the rhythm of the night. The DJ’s Latin beats kept the party going, while LED pool noodles lit up the dance floor in a kaleidoscope of colors. From grandparents to the tiniest cousins, no one could resist the call of the dancefloor ;) 

Being a witness and participant in this exuberant event was truly wonderful. I'm pretty sure the only tears shed that day were ones of happiness and laughter - especially when that conga line started. ;P

As I arrived, the atmosphere was already brimming with excitement, thanks to Celeste's lively bridesmaids who welcomed me warmly into the bridal suite. The air was filled with the delightful sounds of laughter, champagne corks popping, and music serenading the pre-wedding festivities. Celeste, radiant in her adorable bridal PJs, greeted me with a smile, and I immediately set to work, capturing all the exquisite details she had carefully curated.

While the bridal preparations were underway, the sounds of party music echoed from downstairs, where the groom and his groomsmen were having a pre-wedding party of their own. Naturally, I joined them too, documenting the camaraderie as they shared beers and helped each other with their ties and vests.

Despite distance keeping some of Celeste's family and friends from attending, her father and a few loved ones made a heartwarming journey all the way from Argentina to be by Celeste's side on her big day. The joy and emotion were palpable as her father witnessed his baby girl marrying the love of her life.

The wedding ceremony itself was nothing short of perfection.

The sky, adorned with fluffy bubble clouds, seemed like a divine blessing after a passing storm that miraculously spared the outdoor festivities. As the security - oops, I mean ring bearers - made their way down the aisle, diligently surveying the surroundings for the bride's grand entrance, they were followed by an absolutely gorgeous flower girl, introducing the bride with flair and riding in with a styled whip.

The reception kicked off with an explosion of energy, and the dance floor quickly transformed into a lively spectacle. By the time the touching mother and son dance concluded, everyone was already caught up in the rhythm of the celebration. The DJ's Latin music filled the air, and the LED pool noodles painted the background with a kaleidoscope of colors, creating an atmosphere of pure magic. From the elderly family members to the most seasoned partygoers and adorable baby cousins, the vibes were immaculate.
