It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day for Jess’s bridals. The sun was shining, it was a reasonable temperature for August, and her parents’ property in Nashville, NC was more beautiful than ever. She looked absolutely stunning in her mermaid style gown with ruffled train, and hair curled to perfection. Little Ada bug got to go with me for this one, and her reaction when she saw Jess in that dress said it all, “oooooooh!” It’s what she says for everything pretty, and Jess sure did fit that description!

Every time I go out to her parents property, I fall a little more in love with it. The quietness out there is so peaceful. Matched against the rolling hills, fence lined fields, white barn, and a pond complete with a black swan. We’re working towards taking more private property weddings like hers, because they’re so personal. This is where she grew up, it holds meaning and value, and you could see how proud her parents were that she decided to host her wedding there.

Jess, thanks for everything, your patience, understanding, easy going spirit, and willingness to trust my photographer’s judgement. Congrats on your wedding! Enjoy every second of that honeymoon, and I can’t wait for you to get back so I can show you your wedding pics!!!
