Jason + Jackie

filed in:

Are you ready for a beautiful Christmas wedding!? This is the very first Christmas wedding EVER for Inspired Designs! It is also the first night wedding! Yikes! Not only was it dark, it was sleeting outside.  Normally, for a natural light photographer, this would have been nightmare, but that sooo wasn’t the case.  Jason and Jackie are probably one of the most easy going couples I have ever worked with and their sweet and gentle personalities made everything about their day flow beautifully!  The fun thing about Jason and Jackie is that I feel like I’ve known them forever! We met for a consultation, then I shot Jackie’s bridal portraits and then we did their super fun engagements in Jason’s cotton fields! It’s such an honor to be able to come to a wedding and actually feel like part of the family.  I love it.

.

Jason and Jackie, your love for your families and for one another is contagious and it was SUCH an privilege to be a part of your big day! I wish you the very best as your start your new life together! Hope you are having a blast in Jamaica!
