the couple
Jessica and Sean met as many of my couples do, online! Similar backgrounds drew them to each other and shared love of travel, hiking and wine sealed the deal! Jessica loved what a gentleman Sean was and he found her super interesting on their first date. When I say that these two love hiking I really mean they LOVE HIKING!! Jessica’s maid of honor Stephanie mentioned in her toast that she wouldn’t be surprised to see photos of them hiking on their honeymoon!
I asked them to name one thing they love about their future spouse and this is what they had to say!
“He’s a good man that I can trust and lean on for support and guidance when I need it most. He’s driven and hardworking and so intentional in all that he does. He’s open to growing as a person and he always impresses me! He’s also very handsome.” – Jessica
“Jessica is incredibly kind and sincere. Her amazing ability to communicate supplements my lack thereof and she is the driving force behind growth in our relationship. She is passionate about her work and is always excited to talk about her day- and I love the random notes she leaves for me throughout the week.” – Sean
the day
August marked Jessica & Sean’s 2 year dating anniversary so it was a fitting month for their wedding anniversary too! Despite some crazy humidity the storms held off and they were able to have the perfect romantic pink & green summer Stevenson Ridge wedding. When I asked Jessica & Sean what they were looking forward to most about their wedding day this is what they had to say!
“There are so many things I’m excited for…..being surrounded by everyone we love, the ceremony and celebration formalizing our relationship, all the special, well thought out details all coming together.” – Jessica
“To be able to call you my wife.” – Sean
the story
Every wedding has a photo that has a story behind it. Something that is known to the subjects but not obvious to the outside world. This photo below of Jessica’s bridesmaids helping ensure her dress was perfect is that photo. The moment is happy and excited but you’ll notice on the right hand side of the frame another bridesmaid’s dress hangs there. At the last moment one of her bridesmaids got very sick and was unable to stand with her. So when framing this photo I kept her dress in the image as a way of keeping her in that moment with everyone. Thankfully she is fine now!
