I met Jess a couple years ago when she was modeling for a shoot in Philly, and I remember that her boyfriend James was waiting nearby to pick her up from the shoot. Fast forward a bit to the part where James put a ring on her finger. When Jess told me that she wanted me to shoot her wedding, I was beyond excited. Besides the fact that I had a fun, gorgeous bride to shoot I had heard such nice things about James from Jess. We didn’t actually meet James until the wedding day, but he was everything that Jess had told me he would be that day we did the Philly shoot. Jess and James decided that they wanted to do a “first look” where they would see each other and do photos before the wedding so that they didn’t have to rush, and they could relax and enjoy their cocktail hour. I actually love when couples do this because they get their own special moment without everyone watching, and I love the photos that come from that. Austin got to the park first, and he scoped out the perfect location for Jess and James first look down a wooded path. It was perfect.. smiles, laughter, tears…. but I’ll just let the photos do the rest of the talking. Jess and James, we are so happy to have met a couple so perfect for each other, and we are excited to share these images of your day!
This is my little tribute to the dancing that happened at this wedding. This is the first time I have ever seen Krump/Clown dancing at a wedding. This dance floor had everything from the 2 step to slo-mo moves to the crazy dancing you see here..
