I must confess that I am slightly obsessed with Kourtney’s forearm tattoo. As I had the pleasure to get to know Jesse + Kourtney as a couple, I may have become even more obsessed. Although, they attended the same high school, they didn’t date until after college. In His wisdom, God had them come into one another’s lives to be the love and support that each of them would need while facing different challenges. He truly commands our destiny!

Fast forward to their wedding day, and what an amazing day it was! It was a heartwarming day filled with so much love for these two. This was made evident by the number of people who were present not just for their reception, but also for their ceremony. A wedding is a day, but a marriage is a lifetime. Their friends and family recognize the truth in this and will continue to be a constant source of love and encouragement for them.

The love that Jesse + Kourtney have for their friends and family was also clear. For Kourtney, she and her dad share a special bond that was seen during their look before the ceremony and everyone who was there was holding back some tears. Father/daughter dances always make me teary smile and this one was no exception! As for Jesse, I was pleasantly surprised to see in their wedding bulletin that next to each gentleman’s name was listed “Brother to the groom". It simply goes to show you the wonderful kind of man that Jesse is and the importance of knowing that family doesn’t require you to be related.

But enough about them as individuals, because these two as a couple are fantastic! They met on the dance floor, so you better believe we made plenty of time for some dancing! And these two have some great moves! They got a little dancing practice in before the reception at the park (you will not want to miss those pictures!). And their first dance certainly did not disappoint. I LOVE when you can tell that a song is special to a couple because they’re singing the words to each other!

Jesse + Kourtney are sure to share many more dances together in the years to come as husband + wife! Many congrats and God’s blessings you two!

There was no need to tell these two to laugh or smile, they simply did so on their own for the entire session. I had such a great time getting to photograph this incredible couple. They are a shining example of a Christian marriage. Saying they are each other's best friend could not be more true. I enjoy talking to them so much that from time to time, I'd have to regain focus and remember that we were there to take pictures and not just to chat. I've known them for several years and always feel incredibly blessed by any time that I get to spend with them. 

It's my pleasure to introduce you to Gretchen + Bruce!

A little bit of a throwback here! These gals are near and dear to my heart. One's my little sister and one is my cousin. It's really nice that they have each other to go through the ups and downs of the high school years together. They were laughing pretty much the whole time and just had fun. (Making my job super easy!) They are both gorgeous young women, inside and out, and I'm excited to see what God has planned for them!
