Happy Wednesday friends! I can’t believe we are just a few days away from a NEW YEAR!!!! And what better way to kick off the festivities than with THIS gorgeous glitter and gold themed New Year’s Eve wedding of Karly & Johnny!!!  
 
Ohhhh man, this wedding, THESE two…hold a special place in my heart for so many reasons ONE being that I have known Karly and Johnny for most of my life! I grew up down the road from these two so getting to document their wedding was such a HUGE honor and admittedly, a bit emotional too! Having documented both Johnny and Karly’s high school senior portraits to their engagement portraits several years later to their wedding day was an incredible journey to be a part of!!!  
 
Throughout their wedding day, it was clear to see that my sentiment was felt by the many there too…from their parents, siblings, and the hundreds and hundreds of guests that came to celebrate them joining their lives together as husband and wife. It was such an amazing day of love and celebration and LOTS and lots of glitter and gold to that! From the gold tone mix and match bridesmaids dresses to the table linens to the candelabras down to the gold chivari chairs…this was a New Year’s Eve wedding celebration for the books! Here are just a FEW of my favorites from their day! Cheers!!!
Each of Karly’s bridesmaids were gifted these gorgeous glittery clutches, a brown shawl, and each a pair of earrings….love this!
Johnny and Karly opted to see eachother before their ceremony to allow for enough time for portraits during the day and I looooove this one of all the bridesmaids seeing Karly off for her first look with her groom!
Ahhhh!!! Adore Johnny’s reaction of seeing his beautiful bride for the first time!!!
The gorgeous bridal party!
One of my favorite photos from the day capturing three generations together…
My favorite from the day!
And who could forget the toasts?!? From hilarious to heartfelt, these siblings speeches were definitely memorable!
Loved the little ‘Thank You” boxes each guest received at their seat!
I have to end on this one…a favorite of these two living it up on the dance floor completely soaking up their night officially as Mr. & Mrs.!
