Now, onto today's featured wedding of Jaclyn and Ken that took place at Mastro’s Steakhouse with a small and intimate reception, photographed by Emily Gualdoni Photography. Emily writes . . .
The couple managed to rearrange and redefine the wedding experience to be uncomplicated and very intimate, all while entertaining a fluctuating amount of guests. The reception hosted about 75 people, but dinner was only 20 guests (served by the restaurant featuring the most amazing food of course). The environment reflected how special this day was for them, but what makes this wedding even more interesting is that Jaclyn and Ken had already gotten married. Of course, it was only a marriage on paper, so the day’s events were simply a delayed celebration. I feel like this helped keep the pressure off the event a bit, and of course the couple as well.
