I had been anticipating this wedding since I had photographed Jessica & Tom’s engagement photos in April.  We had such a great time, and I knew the wedding would be just as wonderful.

I was right. Despite the rain, everything went just according to plans…if fact, I think the rain made the day a bit more romantic. The idea of planning for so long and praying it doesn’t rain, then getting to the day and simply not caring at all…all you want is to marry the love of your life. Nothing can bring you down.  It’s a bit of a sweet thought, really.

However, I was pleased that the rain stayed away enough to do our portraits outside… :)

Jessica & Tom have a love that was so evident the entire day.  Their first look before the wedding was one of the sweetest I’ve ever documented…I can hear Jessica’s laugh of happiness now.  They took in their wedding day and didn’t let it fly by without taking a minute to take in the importance of the day.  I love that about them.  Jessica & Tom, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. There was no where else I wouldn’t have rather been on July 25, 2009.

Flowers by the ever-talented, Nathan Cutright.

Oh, sweet Jessica. You are absolutely stunning.

Loved this series of their first look…to cute!

Notice the cards…Jessica & Tom met while working at the Library in Athens during their first semester…loved that idea!

Couldn’t help but post this again…oh, and Jessica, these are my favorite bridesmaid dresses ever. Navy blue, different for each girl & Ann Taylor…does it get any better?!

Crazy delicious cake: Erin of The Cake Kitchen…oh how I wish I had a piece now, so yummy.

The reception turned into a little garden party after some dancing, I loved being outside enjoying the weather and their awesome guests.

Another perk of the day, we had so much fun together that one of Jessica’s bridesmaids (Emily) called a few days after and asked me to photograph her wedding this October!  I absolutely can’t wait to see so many of them again :)
