Julia and Jeff

Jeff and Julia are finally married! It was so incredible for us to be for their wedding because Jeff and Julia are such a beautiful couple - inside and out. We’ve known them for over a year now and after getting together with them and even doing their engagement photos as well - we knew that that the wedding would be really special for us.

Both Rene and I started at the John Carver Hotel in Plymouth which is this great little inn right in the center of Plymouth. It was so ideal because the church where they got married was literally around the corner. One of our favorite parts of the day was when all of the guys and then about half an hour later, all of the girls, walked over to the church together. There’s nothing that will stop traffic more quickly than a bride and little flower girl walking hand in hand down the street with all of her family and bridemaids right behind her. It was great!

The ceremony was very emotional as well. Let me explain… Jeff is this big, broad shouldered guy. And also the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet. An when this big man just cried when Julia came down the aisle, I actually had a hard time keeping it together. Here are some of Rene’s images from that moment. This was Jeff’s reaction after seeing Julia:

I just love how two of Jeff’s groomsmen (one of them is Julia’s brother) are also checking out Jeff’s reaction. And here was a teary Julia as she saw Jeff:

One of my favorite quotes from the wedding was when we got together with Jeff and Julia for some alone time after the ceremony and the first thing Julia said after seeing Rene was, “I am so sorry about crying all the way down the aisle.” While at the same time Rene was trying to hug her for letting him get such an emotional reaction! It was just too funny.

After the ceremony we headed over to the Waverly Oaks Golf Club where Jeff and Julia were having their reception. Before even getting to the actual country club, we actually pulled over to the side of the road right at the entrance because we loved this little area just off to the side with lots of tall grass and blue skies. We just HAD to get some photos there and thankfully Jeff and Julia were up for anything so they stopped their limo and we were able to get the image at the top of this post. (By the way, take a look at that bouqet - it was absolutely gorgeous!)

We then moved on to take some photos with the rest of the wedding party. Now here’s a photo of Julia and the groomsmen. Rene took this photo and I wasn’t there for it, so I’m really not sure what the story is behind it but I do know that it made me laugh out loud when I saw it. I have to remember to ask Julia what this was all about! I love it, too, because THIS is how I see Julia.

And now for our favorites! The timing of Jeff and Julia’s wedding worked out perfect because we were able to have some time alone with them right when the sun was setting that evening. Here is one of my favorites that was lit completely with that warm sunset.

And one that Rene took of Julia by herself.  I love, love the lighting on this…

Jeff and Julia left for Costa Rica after the wedding and actually JUST got back home! We are so excited for them to see the rest of the wedding (and hear more about Costa Rica!!!).
