I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bride more excited to walk down the aisle than Jessie. No, really- she came down that aisle faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. And throughout the smiles and appreciative giggles of those in the congregation, you could recognize something sweeter- not nerves, but readiness! They’d been waiting for this day for so long, and it was finally here, and nothing could keep her from entering those church doors and meeting her groom at the altar.

Pedro & Jessie’s day was flawless- I couldn’t tell you a single thing that went awry throughout the day. Maybe it was because they were more concerned with being married than throwing a wedding, or maybe it was because of how relaxed their bridal parties were, or maybe it was because Stone Tower was the perfect backdrop for the day. Whatever it was, it was perfect! And the fact that we had a few minutes during cocktail for some STUNNING “now-that-we’re-actually-married” portraits made it all that much better- a chance to savor it all, away from the everyone else, with a gorgeous vineyard and glowy, golden hour light in the background.

Pedro & Jessie, when you answered my question of “what are you most excited for when it comes to your wedding?” with “getting married,” I knew I was going to love photographing you both. I hope these photographs remind you both for years to come of the day your love story took on forever, and that you always race down the aisle toward each other. It was such a privilege to capture your wedding day joy, and I’m so grateful you trusted me with your memories! SO much love to you both!
