Oh, what a day our wedding was! Extensive flooding reduced our guest count by 20% and made it a real challenge for those who did finally make it – including Jessica! She got rerouted due to flooded/closed roads five or six times first thing that morning but kept trying (and kept me informed!). She also worked with me to figure out photo alternatives (given the biting cold, gale force winds, and general saturation around the venue – which was meant to be OUTDOORS! lol). She was so relaxed and collected; it was a great help to me! 

And once the wedding started, she and her other photographer, Erica, just faded into the background, only turning back up to get specific shots and/or questions answered. After all the hustle and bustle of the morning, it was nice to just enjoy the whole thing without having to worry about who was where when and what we needed to not forget! 

And you just can’t beat the quality of her photos. That just goes without saying. Amazing, amazing, amazing. It was the largest part of our budget and worth every penny. At the end of the day, you have your rings, your photos, and each other. Make those things the best things! 😉

There truly is no other word to describe Jessica. I had known (from friends’ weddings and from periodically stalking her blog) that her photographs were stunning and had always hoped that she might be available on my wedding day. What I didn’t realize was how invaluable she would be on our actual wedding day! From helping me put my veil on to keeping us on track and reminding us what photos we had discussed–she did soooo much to help our wedding day go smoothly! She and Erica were so professional and efficient, but also hilarious and so energetic. They kept us laughing and having a great time no matter what the weather was like! We can’t imagine our wedding day without Jessica and Erica. And I haven’t even mentioned the photographs! We received sooooo many compliments, and even though neither of us considers ourselves to be very photogenic, we can’t decide which photos to frame because each one looks like a work of art (and this is just the sneak peek!). Do yourself a huge favor and call Jessica Strickland (and then hope she’s available). You will be soooo happy that you did!!
