I seriously don’t know what I ever did to deserve such awesome clients, but I love them all so much! I am truly so so so lucky and blessed to have them in my lives and I seriously thank God every single day for allowing us to cross paths. Colleen and Jake are two of the nicest people I have met and it has been so much fun getting to know them and share a little piece of their journey into entering wedded bliss. Their wedding day was absolutely perfect and relaxed. Everything went smoothly and it was absolutely so much fun to document the entire event.
Colleen + Jake, I am so honored to have been your photographer. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and all of the kind words you have sent my way. I am so so grateful for everything. xoxo
Colleen’s nickname is also “CJ” so that pretty much worked out perfect. : )
Jake kept sending Colleen these adorable texts while she was getting ready. So cute!
The flowers and bouquet were designed by the super talented Bobbi Rice. She was also there to make sure the whole day went off without a hitch. She was incredibly wonderful to work with.
My dear friend Courtney Davis of Kiki’s Consulting was there to make the bride and bridal party look incredible. I absolutely LOVE it when she gets the opportunity to work on my clients because they always look I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E.
This little guy was just too cute.
Colleen and Jake decided to do a “First Look” before the ceremony. More and more of my couples are deciding to go this route and I am always thrilled when they do. It really makes such a huge difference on your wedding day. Not only for getting more photos, but just makes everything flow so much smoother. It’s incredibly intimate, with no one else around except me and my 2nd shooter. It’s just a beautiful moment you will forever cherish when you look back on your wedding day years to come. I can’t say it enough… it’s one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day. Hands down.
Colleen surprised Jake with a boudoir album…. which Colleen looked INSANE gorgeous in. She came in to our studio a couple of months ago and we had so much fun creating the images for Jake. ; )
We then took a few more minutes to snap some more photos of the happy couple.
You’re SO beautiful CJ! I want your skin!!!
I love love love this photo of Colleen with her sisters.
Jake with his 3 brothers.
As I was waiting for the ceremony to begin… I locked eyes with this sweet little angel!
I could not get enough of her adorable little self! She had the sweetest personality. Happiest baby ever. I would turn children’s photographer just for her!
The ceremony was beautiful… a few tears were shed, a few laughs were had… but most importantly, a new bond and commitment was formed.
First dance as husband and wife:
As the sun set…
…the party began.
Much fun was had… many memories were made. The end!
