Jessica and Brian were my last wedded couple of 2010. From what Ive learned of them over the past few months they are two of the sweetest people ever. Its funny I always learn a T O N about my couples at the wedding and this wedding was no different. Usually its from speeches at the reception and from the bridesmaids. This wedding was no different. I went away feeling a little closer to both the bride and the groom. You two were absolutely amazing to work with.

Youre awesome. Your wedding was awesome and I hope the rest of your lives together is just as awesome as you two are!

The rings. Typically I have issues with rings. They never work out how I want them but I think I did a fairly sweet job. Although, Autumn did the one on the right and top. :) Hello sweet teamwork!

Purple heels!

At some weddings I wonder where the bridesmaids are? Which shouldn’t happen they are there for you right? Brides need help. These bridesmaids were there. THE WHOLE TIME. It wasnt about them. It was all about Jessica and I really like that. Jessica, you have great friends.

This photos is top on my list for favorites of the day. It reminds me of the beginning of Cinderella when the birdies are helping her get dressed.

Autumn snapped this one. I love it too.

They opted for a first look since they had to sign the ketubah beforehand anyway. I really cant say enough how big a difference having a first look makes. Its precious time youll never get back and it is awesome.

Autumn, my second shooter was my official poser. She did a fantastic job and it made it to where I didnt have resort back to the “typical” poses in my head. So, Thank you Autumn.

AND they are married! yippee!

Autumn is the master of the upclose shot.

Limes. I absolutely love limes. I think every wedding should feature natural details along with man made. Plus limes are beautiful!

So, when I first saw these I thought ‘that cant be what I think it is’ and holy goodness IT WAS MILK AND COOKIES.

HELLO BEST IDEA EVER!

Brian and Jessica really got to enjoy themselves at the wedding. Thats pretty rare actually for brides and grooms to have time to dance, alot.

Halfway through I realized we didnt have any photos of the bride and the bouquet yet. So Jessica braved her feet getting frozen for a few minutes outside with us.

How pretty is that bouquet?

Alright you two, seriously I wasnt kidding when I say how awesome you two are. I so very much enjoyed being a part of your day. Thank you for having me be part of it.
