Reception Date: Thursday, December 31, 2009
Reception Location: Bella Sera

New Years Eve weddings are always a blast! When I first sat down for an initial consultation with John and Julie to discuss their wedding, the three of us hit it off immediately. They began to explain what they were looking for, and I knew we could provide it. Quite frankly, they wanted to create a fun party to celebrate the New Year. But of course, it was also important that the night was a celebration of the two of them. We accomplished joining the two perfectly.

And to top it off, they chose of one my personal favorite venues… the beautiful Bella Sera.

Here are a few pre-guest photos.

For their first dance, they chose “Me and You” by Kenny Chesney. Also one of my personal favorites – it’s a special song for my wife and I.

The parent dances.

Here are some photos that we snapped as we progressed towards midnight.

We projected a live stream of Times Square in New York City as we approached midnight. The below photo shows how we projected the live feed on to the wall. The picture looks a bit faded because the camera flash washed it out, but it actually looked great up on the wall.

Be sure to watch the video highlights above to see some video of what our live stream projection looked like.

And now… Happy New Year! Here are some more photos after everyone clanked glasses and exchanged 12am New Year kisses.

Well, 2009 has come and gone… onward to 2010!

We will be heading out shortly to Julie & John’s New Years Eve wedding tonight at Bella Sera, but I wanted to take a moment to make a quick post to wish you all the very best New Years Eve tonight.

I’ve had the pleasure of planning of what’s going to be a very fun evening with Julie and John’s friends and family. I’ll be sure to get up the blog post on their wedding asap.

Have a wonderful, safe and happy New Years Eve.
