Jessica and Ryan's wedding

Jessica and Ryan's wedding

Jessica and Ryan had a perfect 'winter wedding' - complete with snow! Ever since I first met these two, I knew their wedding would be a lot of fun! I started out my morning at LaBella (which is right around the corner from my house) and met up with the girls.

Christina (below) was in a wedding I photographed in February and referred me to Jessica when she found out that they hadn't booked a photographer yet. This is probably the biggest compliment I can get from anyone and it was great to see her again!

Jessica was explaining to her hairdresser that 'the bigger the hair, the closer to Jesus' :) - and, no, she's not from Texas!

Jessica and her mom got emotional after seeing Jessica with the veil and the tiara on ...

I love photographing the makeup being applied ... I'm such a GIRL!

While I was with the girls, Karen spent the morning with Ryan and the guys ...
