Jessica + Kevin

Jessica and Kevin contacted me all the way from Colorado to shoot their wedding at the Indianapolis Zoo. Another bride and groom had just pushed their wedding back, so I happened to be free on their date. We all decided it was meant to be. I was so happy to meet and work with such a wonderful couple! When Ken and I arrived at the Zoo, Jess greeted me with the biggest hug and smile. She was glowing!

Jess made the bouquets -- aren't they gorgeous?


I loved their rings.


Jessica and Kevin were married on one of the hottest days of the year, but they were troopers and we rocked the photos! I don't like to play favorites, but Jessica's Monique Lhullier gown was the most gorgeous gown I had ever seen. I loved the rosettes and the detail on the shoulder.


Kevin, you are one lucky guy!


Since it was so hot, we stepped into the shade for a few photos. The Zoo's Wedding Garden had so many nooks and crannies. It was a photographer's dream!


Handsome groom!


This is Diego, Kevin's nephew, just a few minutes before the ceremony. What a cutie!


While I was with the girls, Ken caught this sweet moment of Kevin and his mom as he escorted her down the aisle. I love it!


These next two are timeless.



While I was with Jess and her dad, Ken was busy capturing Kevin's reaction to seeing Jess for the very first time that day. He doesn't look excited or anything. *wink*


I do! (Captured by Ken, the master of ceremony kissing shots.)



This is happiness...pure happiness!


Everyone should have a bagpiper! What a cool touch.



The bridesmaids' dresses really pop!



So sweet!


This photo isn't perfect but I love it anyway. Kids will be kids!


Definitely one of my favorites of the day.



Another favorite.



Can I have three favorites?


I'm sorry -- I just had to post this because it still makes me laugh!


I don't know who made the cake, but it sure was pretty!


Their olive oil favors were fitting since Kevin is a chef. (Lucky Jess!!!)


First dance:


Mother son dance:


Aaaaaannnnnd...the party has started!


Even Kevin's mom got in on the action!


"Don't stop believin'!!!!!"



Fun DJ lights, glow necklaces, inflatable instruments...yeah, it was a good time!


Jessica and Kevin, thank you so much for having us share your day with you! Everything was so perfect and your reception was a blast! We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and good eating.
