Jake & Monica {pickwick place wedding}

Where can I even start with this couple? 

I’ve had the opportunity to photograph these two since the day Jake proposed, and each interaction with them leaves me even more grateful that our paths have crossed. They’re the most encouraging, selfless, hilarious, and down to earth people you’ll ever meet, and the fact that I got to be the one to capture their love is such an honor. 

Jake and Monica have an energy about them. It’s an excited, joyful, expressive, youthful energy that’s absolutely magnetic and contagious, and their wedding day overflowed with that exact energy. The joy of the Lord was palpable, and the love was so visible that you could almost reach out and grab it. 

Their families made me feel like one of their own, their dance moves rocked everyone’s socks off, and they both mentioned Star Wars in their vows. What could be better?

Jake and Monica, thanks for allowing me to be the one to capture your best day ever. I know you guys are going to live out your happily ever after with the same energy, excitement, and joy you experienced on your wedding day with God on your side. 

*do small things with great love*
