Jess first reached out to me about being her wedding photographer in April of 2014. Over the past year and a half, we’ve exchanged many emails, shot their Engagement Session, and put together the plan to make sure her and Joe’s day went along smoothly. It was a beautiful October day, and I loved seeing the genuine emotion pour out of Jessica all day long. Jess + Joe had been friends for a long time before they started dating, so seeing their relationship come to this point was truly an honor.

Jess and Joe, you deserve each other. You are both incredibly sweet, beautiful people. The note you sent me after your honeymoon was so kind, and it is because of couples like you that I LOVE what I do. I hope these photos make you smile as much as your note made me 🙂 Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Gruben!
