Jessica & Eddie {Wedding}

I met Jessica and Eddie photographing a 30th birthday event for my cousin and her best friend in 2013. It wasn't until a few months later that I really met them during their engagement session at Bradley’s Retreat which you can take a look at HERE. From the beginning, I loved how Jessica and Eddie spoke without words and laughed without reason. Most would assume their courtship was short and this was the lingering effects of just meeting one another. However, the real story is much longer and filled with friendship, twists, and pizza…

The week leading up to their wedding, Jessica’s phone was flooded with countless emails, texts, and phone calls from family and friends (and me!) who were concerned about the heavy thunderstorm prediction for her wedding that Sunday. What would she do? What was her plan? Faithful and full of positive energy, Jessica’s faith never budged…her wedding day would be perfect. Her calm and sunny disposition never swayed once on her wedding day, even when I asked her permission for “5 minutes of real talk” to talk about our rain plan again as I pulled out a phone to show her radar for that afternoon. Even when the thunderstorms caused her wedding to end early so that people could drive home safely, she was radiating happiness. At the end of the day, all I can say is that faith and positive outlook like that is driven by the meaning behind the wedding and not the actual wedding events. Eddie and Jessica took special care in wedding was planned in a way that would honor their family and friends in little ways throughout the entire day. I’m sure throughout the day, everyone shed a tear or two at something special Eddie and Jessica said or had planned. It was an amazing event and one that I know will go down as one of the most memorable moments in their lives. 

Thank you both for having me document your amazing wedding day. I cannot wait to share the rest of the wedding images with you and hope you guys are having a blast on your honeymoon in Puerto Rico! 

**Side note: due to the heavy thunderstorms, Jessica and Eddie opted for a post wedding session at Bradley's to recreate the wedding portraits they envisioned outside.
