Mr. & Mrs. Ragano - The Village Club At Lake Success

On the beautiful day of July 17th, 2021, we joined Jessica and Stephen in celebrating their journey to forever! We started our day in the bridal and groom suites at the Village Club at Lake Success. The ladies had an early start with hair, makeup and brunch, in their matching pajamas; while the guys cracked jokes down the hall! When it came time to read their letters to each other, Jessica’s moment was filled with laughter and love as she read “Ditto” in her card from Stephen, as part of an ongoing joke about their vows between them. The sheer joy and excitement on her face was indescribable. The day was filled with many sentimental moments, we had the opportunity to capture photos as a tribute to Jessica’s late grandfather, and Jessica gifted Stephen with cuff links featuring his late parents’ photos which made the day even more special. Jessica and her father did a first look which was sweet beyond words. Jessica then did a first look with Stephen… with a twist! Andy surprised him in a wedding gown – it was a hilarious surprise that no one will ever forget! After the first look, we jumped right into bridal party shots, and the stunning bride and groom cracked open a cold one to celebrate the day. The ceremony was filled with love, laughter and roses, and cocktail hour followed suit! The reception was filled with dancing, singing and pure happiness! We are so grateful that we are able to be apart of Jessica and Stephen’s celebration! Congratulations to the beautiful couple, we wish you many more years of love and laughter!
