Jessica & Jacob | a Downtown Kalamazoo Wedding

Wedding

Jess and Jake are just the sweetest couple. By the end of this blog, you’ll feel like you know them personally, just by the way they look at each other with such love! The love between them is undeniable and I can’t help but adore the smirk Jake gives to Jess and the sweet, soft smile Jess gives back.

I loved everything about their day! From the personal details; Jess wore her mom’s wedding dress and used her grandma’s hankerchief, all the way to how well Jess and Jake compliment each other! And then of course, there was the one element to the wedding day that you can’t overlook – the bouquet! It’s the longest cascade we’ve ever seen at a wedding, and it looked absolutely beautiful on Jessica!

I could forever listen to people talk about their love story and one thing I adore is that they moved together to Tennessee and never left each others side and now they moved back to Michigan and are starting a great life together! It’s a beautiful thing to witness because even on their wedding day it started to lightly sprinkle during family photos and Jess and Jake didn’t blink and eye! They were married and that’s all that matter to them.

Jess & Jake, we love you two! It was such an honor to be a part of this chapter of your lives and we can’t thank you enough for being such a JOY to work with. We are SO excited to see your lives unfold!! Congrats again, newlyweds!! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from your gorgeous day!
