- Justin + Jess | Part I
You know this must be an awesome wedding when you see the subtitle “Part 1”. Clearly, Part 2 is on it’s way very soon!
.
Michael met Justin during his year of living in North Carolina. He was actually one of the first people we met when we visited and what a perfect first impression he gave! He dropped everything he was doing, we jumped in his jeep and he gave us a tour of all of Boiling Springs! Now Boiling Springs is literally a one stop light town, and while the tour was short lived, Justin’s smile and willingness to welcome us made a lasting impression. Because Michael became close friends with Jess and Justin during his year at CDH, I gradually came to know and love them. I would occasionally see them on visits here and there but I really got to experience hanging out with them during their engagement session last spring! Oh man! How I loved that session!
.
Naturally, their wedding was amazing as well. Despite the constant drizzle and random downpours, we made it work! Rain can be the most intimidating thing to a photographer, especially when you are working with a super fun bridal party of 16! Luckily the church had a large covered porch and walkway that we made work. It was a challenge at times but challenges sometimes lead to awesome, creative shots because I have to work extra hard to make it look cool! So enjoy the PART 1 of Justin and Jess’s big day and you better check back soon to see their portraits!
Of course, they both wore Toms!
No I didn’t make some random bridesmaid and groomsmen kiss! They’re married and Jess did such a sweet job coordinating the bridal party attire I couldn’t resist doing a quick detail shot!
Love the colors!
Jess, you’re a gorgeous bride!
Justin met Jess at the end of the aisle and walked her up to the altar:)
So….this isn’t necessarily an “Inspired Designs” style of image… BUT, I have realized that sometimes there are moments where you just need to capture the moment and there is no time for adjusting aperture settings! This was a really quick shot of the two of them immediately after they exited the ceremony! Husband and Wife!! ah!
A few more…. I LOVE secretly capturing moments like these! They’re so real!
I told you guys we could squeeze the steeple in there!
Justin and Jess’s portraits are coming next! Along with a slideshow! Get excited!
katelyn, these are SO GOOD! i can’t wait to see part 2 :)
once again, a gorgeous wedding :) love the one of them right after the ceremony..you can’t fake shots like that.
Finally…I know there are alot of people waiting to see these…thanks for getting them done so fast…even though that means skipping class and working on them during class. You are amazing…and Jess and Justin are pretty amazing too!!!
Their engagement session has always been one of my favorites. These are so great!
