Intimate Backyard Wedding: Jessalyn + Dan

When Jess wrote me to ask if I would be willing to photograph her and Dan's backyard wedding, I was thrilled. Jessalyn has been a good friend of mine since the third (yep, third) grade, and is one of the most loveliest women in my life. I could not have been happier when she told me she had found an equally genuine, kind and down to earth partner to spend her life with five years ago and could not contain my excitement for their September 3rd wedding.  

Their wedding day was absolute perfection. Jess and Dan's closest friends and family gathered at Jessalyn's childhood home to witness them proclaim their love and devotion to one another. They were married by their good friend as they stood underneath an apple tree and read aloud their vows they had written to one another. Afterwards, they opened their home to their extended family and friends to celebrate with them which included good wine, desserts baked by Jess in the weeks leading up to their wedding, a group art project, and board games.

Jessalyn and Dan, I could not have been more honoured to witness the two of you commit your life together. I hope you both know how truly lucky I feel to not only know you, but to call you friends as well. I wish the two of you the most beautiful marriage and cannot wait to journey through life together with you! Oh, and I apologize for all the squealing during our portrait session... you guys are just WAY too adorable.
