This is where I was last night. Documenting the beginning of Jessica and Eric’s marriage! Major fun!
And because my kids’ stayed at grandma’s last night, I had this afternoon to start my post-process process (is that a phrase….post-process process?) At any rate, I had to post a sneak peek of this fantastic wedding experience!
Jessica and Eric are two completely awesome people – smart, kind, funny, loving…..and after spending a day with their families, the apples don’t fall far from the tree!
It was a complete privilege to photograph this wedding and I feel blessed to have met these families.
Jessica and Eric – I wish you two and the best and hope you love your pics! There are so many more to come!
I started out with the guys.
Boys are so different from girls.
Cracks me up!
Such great friends!
Mother and son.
Sometimes, just saying those words bring tears to my eyes.
I can’t fathom my son’s wedding day.
Eric – you are very very loved by the ladies in your life!
Next up…the girls.
Beauty at its finest!

Watching her emotions ebb and flow through the day…..loved it!
Jessica – you are a lucky lady!
Each detail….perfectly perfect!

This is Jim.
Jessica’s dad.
He made me cry a few times yesterday.
His love for Jessica…it’s indescribable and overwhelming!
This was the first time he saw her as she walked down the stairs.
Honestly……he just adores her!
I loved photographing his emotions throughout the day!
Love, love, love
Everywhere you looked!

Of course, it didn’t take long for the emotions to start overflowing the room!
The tears flowed as the bride surprised everyone and sang to her husband.
Jessica – you are beyond talented and completely amazing!
What a gift!

I’m guessing that every mother with a son, sees pictures of other mothers with their sons and feels like crying? What is that?!! At any rate – I adored watching these two!
