It was the first weekend in what felt like a long time without a raincloud in sight, and bright sunshine adorned the blue skies above as Jodie and Brandon met for their first look. Though they had a few nerves dancing inside like butterflies, as soon as they saw each other they smiled so big, and those smiles stayed on their faces all day long. We walked around the venue taking pictures, Brandon helping her with her dress as she walked, and Jodie smoothing his wind-tossed hair after each strong breeze. :) I don't know if these things were specifically mentioned in their vows, but I can see them caring for each other like this in another 50 years.
You can tell a lot about a couple by who stands beside them, and this wedding party was filled with family and close friends who were easy-going, who kept us laughing, and who did their best to help out in any way they could. They knew this day was all about celebrating Jodie and Brandon, and they wanted to make it perfect for them. Although it made me feel a little old when half the groomsmen did not know what the Flying V is from The Mighty Ducks (what?!) I have to say, this was a great group for the bride & groom to have by their side. ❤️
Congratulations, Jodie & Brandon! Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing day!
