A Romantic Wedding at Perona Farms Keeping Love Warm in The Winter!

Rafi and Lea’s winter wedding at Perona Farms in Andover, New Jersey was the definition of a true seasonal celebration, with fresh snow blanketing the property and snow-capped trees framing every moment. Lea got ready with joyful anticipation, wearing a romantic floral Anthropologie gown with puff sleeves and her mother’s pearls as her something borrowed. After fueling up with her favorite Dunkin’ drink, she shared an emotional first look with her brother—wide smiles and happy tears all around. Lea and Rafi then met outside the venue for their first look, surrounded by quiet winter beauty. Rafi’s reaction was pure joy as they melted into each other, and we spent time wandering the grounds for playful, cozy portraits that highlighted Perona Farms’ rustic charm, stone details, and peaceful winter landscape.

Their ceremony took place inside The Refinery at Perona Farms, a greenhouse-inspired space glowing with warm bistro lights that perfectly contrasted the snowy day outside. A chuppah overflowing with bright, colorful florals brought vibrant life to the winter neutrals, setting the tone for a deeply emotional ceremony filled with heartfelt vows, meaningful traditions, and the breaking of the glass. Cocktail hour followed with extravagant stations and incredible energy before guests moved into a lively reception filled with bold florals, pops of pink, and nonstop celebration. Lea twirled during their first dance, speeches were both hilarious and heartwarming, and the rest of the night unfolded with spirited horas and joyful dancing—proof that even in the heart of winter, Rafi and Lea’s love brought nothing but warmth. Lastly, we even ran out into the cold to take nighttime, dramatic photos with the property trees all lit up!
