Jessica + John Wedding Day

The two met on Match.com, but did not actually meet in person until about 5 months of chatting.  Jon was living in Delaware, but had his house for sale and had his profile set up that he lived in St. Louis to try to meet some people. It took him 5 months to sell his house, so they chatted by text and phone for that full time before going on their first date.
Years later, Jon took Jessica to her favorite Broadway play at the time “Rent”. They went to a fun champagne bar before hand, and then went to the show. During intermission, John came back from using the restroom and said there was a cool photo booth that they should check out. After the show, he showed her where the photo booth was and they went inside to take some photos. As she put the money in, and as she did he pulled out a ring. She sat not realizing what was happening so he tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around and saw he had the ring in his hand. She immediately began crying.  And then said yes – each stage documented by the photo booth!
Every big memory deserves great photos, so we are so excited to share the images from THIS big day today!  To say Jessica and John’s wedding was perfection would be an understatement.  It was breathtaking at every turn.  Enjoy a sneak peek at this GORGEOUS day!

Jessica was JAW DROPPINGLY gorgeous in her gorgeous dress.  And her bouquet!!!  WOW.Rocking that dapper groom look John!These two had a beautiful first look!This fall in St.Louis may not have been great weather wise – but the trees were on point!  So glad they stuck around long enough for this day!Smiling is his favorite.As show stopping as everything was – this beautiful gal did truly steal the show.  Cannot get enough of these images with their favorite girl. <3Nothing better than a dog of honor.Interesting story about the arbor Jessica and John were married under – Roger just so happened to build it!!  Back in the day, he constructed it for Poppies Design Studio, and after a quick change of location for the ceremony after some rain – they brought in the arbor last minute.  It was extra special that the two would say “I do” under something Rog created. The decor by Poppies Design Studio was unbelievable.  What a dream!I’m still thinking about the food from Ces & Judy’s!!!Bling and cake balls from Sarah’s cake shop might just be two of my favorite things!

• MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF THE DAY: Oh gosh……I would say the most memorable moment was our first look and just seeing each other for the first time. I don’t know why but I had butterflies! It was such a magical moment. I would also have to say walking down the aisle and standing up in front of everyone and seeing all of our guests that shared in our special day!
• ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS:
  Take it all in. The day goes by so fast so enjoy every moment even the little moments.

  Jon says the funniest memory from the wedding is me dancing on the fireplace to Nsync. I would have to say mine is him dancing to (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)
