Tyler & Jessica

Tyler & Jess | Brandy Hill Farm, Culpeper, Virginia Wedding Photographer

Oh Tyler and Jessica. I absolutely ADORE them. They stuck true to who they are from the wedding details to the activities throughout the day. I met Jessica a couple years ago as we worked together at Piedmont Press & Graphics and I’m SO glad that we have stayed in touch from other random work ventures. She’s not only beautiful on the outside, but she has the biggest heart. What’s the best part? She found someone who also has a big heart and love for Jesus. A beautiful sight for me to document!

What you heard in the distance throughout the prepping time of the day, “I’m getting MARRIED!!” along with squeals from the girls. It was an exciting afternoon as everyone was getting ready for the big moment they have been anxiously waiting for months. As the ceremony started, it looked like it was straight out of a fairytale. Leaves were floating down as each wedding party member walked towards the altar and the moment when Jess made her way to Tyler, she looked like an angel with the sun haloing around her. <3 You could see in Tyler’s eyes how in awe he was seeing his soon-to-be-wife making her way to him. The ceremony was nothing short of sweet and special. They got down on their knees to wash each other’s feet just as depicted in the Bible. To see both Tyler and Jessica’s faces LIT up with the biggest smiles I have seen throughout the ceremony made my heart so happy! They have found the love of their lives. And Sunday was only the beginning!

Jess is known as “Creative Jess” in the family, which totally makes sense just by even looking at the wedding set up! She comes from a very theatrical background and was able to incorporate their personality/creativity throughout the wedding. SO much work went into Sunday from the altar piece to even a script for Jessica’s brother to entertain the guests and smoothly transition reception events. It was unique and special as they intertwined stories to make everything connect. One fun event that took place at the wedding was when the wedding party got together and did “The Wedding Singer” dance! It was EPIC! I wish my photos could play a video of their choreographed dance. 😉 Haha! To say the least, Tyler and Jessica had a very entertaining reception and a magical beginning to their marriage. 🙂

Thank you Tyler and Jess for giving me the privilege of being there not just to photograph your wedding, but support your marriage. I have 100% confidence that you have a strong foundation for a beautiful marriage. I’m so proud of you two. <3 CONGRATS!!! Enjoy your honeymoon and this sneak peek of your wedding collection! XOXO!
