jessica + jon – june wedding

Oh my goodness this summer has been a busy one and I can’t believe this beautiful day was back in June already! These two tied the knot on a warm summer day, luckily missing any rain that was in the forecast! Surrounded by some pretty awesome friends and even more amazing family, these two were overjoyed with love and support on their big day and I was lucky enough to be there to capture it.

laura + coty / gateway building wedding

Kicking off wedding season 2017 with this easy going couple was absolute perfection. There is something so special being chosen to photograph such a momentous day for two people, let alone being allowed to be there when they choose to have a first look before the ceremony. I love witnessing all of those crazy emotions of anxiousness, joy, nervousness all disappear when the bride and groom get that first glimpse of each other just minutes before they say I Do. I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again that weddings will never get old to me and yes you will find me shedding a tear at least once during the day. Congrats you two! <3
