Jess & Josh | wedding | Canopy Creek Farm | Miamisburg, Ohio

 The first rule of photography is never photograph a relative or friends wedding.  But when Jess, the daughter of a dear friend, invited me to be her wedding photographer I simply couldn't resist.  I adore her family, from her grandparents to siblings, and it was such a delightful honor to be allowed access to the most intimate parts of their day.  Jess is a beautiful, determined woman with a sweet nature, and when she sets her mind on something, she is a force.  I knew she would plan a beautiful wedding filled with meaningful, romantic details.  But beyond all the lace, pearls and dreamy details was a marriage of two smart, sincere people purposefully in love.  Notice I didn't say madly in love?  That's because they've already reached that place in a relationship where love is a verb, not merely a giddy feeling.  Their eyes shine with respect and admiration, their words are kind and light-hearted.  Josh looks at Jess with captivation, and she just...blossoms.  I am so very happy that they have found each other.  And I am delighted that their wonderful parents, who raised these two kids to become remarkable people, can rest assured knowing that their beloved child has found a partner who is fully committed and makes their kid so damn happy.
