Jessica and Stefan

 

Every wedding gives a Bride some kind of stress. For Jessica and Stefan, that stress started early when they found out their venue parking lot was completely under water (the bay was legit reaching out all the way to Rt. 1). That did not stop the couple from enjoying their time with friends and family though, and luckily the water receded just in time. This wedding was actually the first 12 hour wedding day I have ever had where hair and makeup was pretty much completed by the time I arrived. I’ll hand it to these ladies though, the playlist they had going sent me back in time to my high school days and I loved every second of it. These guys spoiled everyone with breakfast catered by Chick Fil, a delicious cocktail hour, a banging dinner, and an equally amazing second dinner right before closing out the night to go clubbing. You indeed read that right, second dinner! THat makes these guys pretty alright in my book!

All the bridesmaids said that Jessica was pretty particular when it came to her eyes, and that she would probably do them herself. She let the makeup artist take a wack at it though!

This girl’s blues melt my heart!

I try not to take photos of adults eating because nobody wants to see pics of themselves with their mouth full of food. Kids on the other hand are fair game.

So if you don’t know by now, I really love the mirror shot. I don’t know how Jess did it, but she framed herself absolutely impeccably.

I give so much kudos to Stefan for using a straight razor.

All the guys had super hero socks, but here is the Groom with his son’s.

Can you guess which glass the best man poured for the Groom?

I’d like to take this moment to point out Stefan’s sense of humor. His personality is equal with my own which made me instantly love him. The whole day was filled with penis jokes, but my all time favorite took place at this very moment. The officiant walked in to go over a few things, and right when he finished Stefan turn to his guys and said “Alright, it’s not going to suck itself.” With that I apologize to all of Jessica and Stefan’s family who came to this blog to see some wholesome photos. I think that’s the last of the vulgarity.

I know for a fact that everyone on the TROLLEY probably thought I was crazy when I was aiming my camera at the rear view.

Rachael killed it with the naked cake and cupcakes! If she has a page, I will link it here. In the meantime, ask me for her info if you interested in her deliciousness.

When the shot in your head comes to life! Believe it or not, this whole idea was meticulously planned out. One of the details I imagined was the girls expressions being grossed out while trying to hold the bride’s dress out of the mud. When I instructed them to do so, they said “That’s easy because there is a dead fish right next to our feet!” Thank you guys for all being good sports!

Bride and Groom had to get in line to get their photo taken at the sunset. It was epic, and there must have been a hundred selfies at this very moment.

The bakugan was hidden behind the bar, but they eventually found it.

My mind is telling me no, but my body, my body is telling me yes! That was not the song playing at the moment, but that’s what this photo says to me.

Here we go, winner of my favorite dancer of the night is this lady in black. All night long she was just having the time of her life. Scroll up and look for her in the background of other dancing photos. She was smiling and having fun all night long. She was amazing, end of story. With that, I will end this blog that is Jessica and Stefan. Their night had some hiccups, but they still had fun. As I was packing my bags, and saying my goodbyes they told me how much they loved me. To tell you the truth, I actually love them too. They are the kind of people who look out for others, and make sure everyone is well taken care of. Photos could only capture so much emotion, and I wish more people looked at one other the way these guys looked at their friends and family. Jessica and Stefan, you guys are the definition of love.
