Yes, you did see this wedding posted earlier today by my intern … however, I’m re-blogging this event as there was no way I could pass over such an amazing story… just needed to tell it myself! May 27, 2012 Jackie & Newton married at The Kay Chapel … and then headed off to party the night away at Rosecliff Mansion… but this isn’t just any happy couple… nor was this your “normal wedding planning experience”… Jackie, who is legally blind, designed her entire event by touch. I have to admit I have never been so “touched” to watch a couple as I was on this day, I was moved taking in every glance Newton gave Jackie and every detail I photographed. This is a must SEE event… and I hope that one day Jackie may be able to relive it by sight through her pictures.
I loved this sweet groom the moment I saw him sneaking these glances at his bride.. throughout the day after I would watch and see Newton just smiling at Jackie.. and taking both the day and his new bride in..and then there’s Michelle, taking in every moment and flow of the day for her daughter.. I adored working with Michelle through the planning and witnessing how she helped make Jackie’s vision for her wedding day come to life.
Jackie and Newton have a very fun and adventurous story of how they met THOUSANDS of miles from home.. in Thailand! They had both left their planned career paths and took a chance flying around the world to teach English.. and ended up meeting each other during their 3 years in Thailand. The couple had a slideshow during the reception of images from their childhoods but also relationship together and the adventures they have gone on.. are pretty spectacular 
I personally think their wedding day may have been one of their BEST though!
Jackie had a vision in her mind of a embroidered gown with the “v” detailing in the neckline.. she had her gown customized by the designer to get the all-over embroidery and precise design details she wanted all in one amazing gown. Her shoes were custom designed in Thailand from a dance studio where Jackie & Newton had taken dance classes..something perfectly comfortable to be able to dance the entire NIGHT!!!
Before I go further.. the Ballroom decor.. STUNNING.. it was 40′s GLAMOUR! I walked past the room and literally had to walk back and do a double-take! I’ve in fact never walked into the Rosecliff ballroom and felt like I was literally in an “era” .. it just felt right. Never something, even with my imagination, that I would have actually come up with.. and I was stunned and left standing in awe before I was able to actually SHOOT the room!
Classic. Elegant. Timeless… a vision. That was Newton & Jackie’s wedding design and style.. Congratulations to you BOTH and your wonderful families!
