How much do I LOVE weddings? Hold up and let me answer that! With EVERY once of my being! So much so I won't only hope to photograph your wedding I will secretly hope to also get to do your bridal hair and make-up.

Seriously Weddings are my life whether I am photographing them or assisting in some other capacity. I devote myself to events as I have for the last 12 years.

When I received Melissa's e-mail to possibly do it all for the Hill Wedding my heart was bursting with excitement. I am always humbled to think that this beautiful moment in time could possibly be captured me.

Of course it was the longest week before Melissa got back to me asking me to officially be the photographer of their special day. I could not of been more thrilled. October could not come fast enough.

Not only would I be doing photography I would also be doing hair and make-up for the bridal party. I would also be making a highlight video which I LOVE to do. <---Those are always my personal fave too!

Oh and I haven't even talked about the location which was the breathtaking Cold Water Gardens which is located in Milton FL. If you have not had a chance to visit find them online and take a tour. It offers the cutest campsites which include Glamping Tents and a working Greenhouse with the freshest veggies and plants. This location will not disappoint with all the gorgeous backdrops available.

Melissa and Toby's wedding was the ultimate family affair. I mean that with such sincerity. This day was all about Family. The bridal party included Melissa's children and grandchildren. The Officiant that married them was none other than her good friend and daughter's mother in law. The intimacy of this wedding is something most long for and hope to have for themselves. A beautiful ceremony, dreamy location, your true love waiting for you at the altar while surrounded by your closest friends. <----BTW the happy couple has known each other since Elementary which I think is pretty awesome!

The night was filled with constant laughter and little flower girls in their flow dresses spinning around on the dance floor. And when the Melissa danced her her first love her handsome son there was not a dry eye in the place. The music played and they danced through the night. Love filled the air this cool November night.

While photos were important the celebration of these two was the top priority. Photos were simply extra. I like to be a fly on the wall, the air flowing in the wind, another face in crowd who happens to freeze your special moments. I look for laughter, I look for emotion and in that I find complete love.

Thank you so much to Melissa and Toby! Wishing you many years of happiness and Love.- Jessica

“Jessica photographed my wedding in October. I was so nervous but she was very sweet, patient, kind and professional. She put my mind at ease right away.
She does amazing hair and makeup. And her photos are beautiful.”
