Nathan and Holly are married!!!


I met Nathan in college. We all buddied around the same crowds, I really appreciated his knack for finding free things, great deals and getting folks into events for free. Seriously, he would push the envelope to the point I believe chicfila caught on to him always getting a free sandwich, his picture may have been up in the back room somewhere under the 'don't take coupons from this guy' wall. It's great having a friend like that, you get to reap the benefits without having to do any of the work. :)
Around the same time in college, I started to attend church close by and met/become close with some of the high school gals, one being a sweet young lady named Holly. Now, I don't think they knew each other at the time, but I take pride that I knew both of them separately, way back when.
Fast forward several years. Nathan started attending the church I once attended way back when, I know I know, some folks reading this may think 'really, Jess, it wasn't that long ago..' 10 years isn't yesterday though. Anyway, back to the story, Nathan met Holly or I think maybe Holly walked right up and met Nathan. They became fast friends, sharing a great love for the Lightning (who could blame them?!). As luck would have it, Nathan had to move back to Canada, poor guy was deported back to his home country...Holly and Nathan kept that relationship of theirs going however, and last year Nathan surprised Holly by flying down to FL and asked her to marry him at a hockey game, she had no idea he was even there. It was caught on video, really cool way to propose Nathan, bravo. If I find the link, I will post it!
I had the great pleasure of documenting their big day, and let me tell you, It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. My favorite part had to have been when we were all praising God together singing 'In Christ Alone' the way the chapel was made the acoustics were amazing, the moment itself was truly amazing. Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding day guys! Here is the sneak peak!










I couldn't hold back, I had to post this!!


A BIG THANK YOU to Vicki Brake for her help and this photo, one of my favorites!!








I was about to rudely interrupt there guests to 'move it!' But Holly and Nathan liked the idea of their guests behind them. Shortly after these few pictures, I yelled out the crowd to skedaddle anyway, just for the sake of being mean:)






Tony and Nicole are Married April 13th, 2012!

When you hear Friday the 13th most times you think of black cats or 'not to walk under a ladder' or whatever else that could be associated with that superstitious day. For Tony and Nicole, it really didn't cross their mind that it was a day of superstition rather it was THEIR day, the day they were getting married. The two said their I Do's in a vintage style sanctuary.  What I absolutely loved about Nicole was her love for vintage, her dress, her bouquette, her grandmother's blue ring, the cake and even the candy sachels at the candy bar all SCREAM vintage chic! I wish the best of luck to the two!! Here is a sneak peak of the first few I got my hands on. Happy Wednesday!!!



 It was so so SO windy, this photo was taken a split second between the wind coming and going.




 Nicole sang/recorded a song for Tony, she wrote him a note to listen closely. This was him receiving the note and trying to hold back tears listening to it right before the doors opened. Loved it!!!

 Nicole, you will always know the exact time your dad escorted you down the aisle!!!
