Jessica & Brandon - bobbi photo

JESSICAAAAA AND BRANNNNNDONNNN!!!! These two are good for your soul. If you know them, you know exactly what I mean! Jessica has a way of making every single person feel like the most important person in the room. Brandon has a genuine thoughtful kindness about him that you can clearly see in his eyes. If you see this duo walking down the street, please be sure to stop and say hello. I assure you, you won’t regret it!

Jessica is unapologetically herself at all times. Those are always my favorite kind of people.

This groomsmen’s tux pants were WAYYYYY too long! So the best man busted out his best MacGyver moves and fixed it with a stapler and a Sharpie. Badaboom badabing, FIXED!

See what I mean about Brandon’s kind eyes? 🙂 I assign emojis to all of the people in my life (I’m the dancer in the red dress, duh) and if I were to assign one to Brandon it would most definitely be the heart eye emoji!

Their ceremony was one of my favorites of all time. Jessica couldn’t stop crying (the officiant had to keep blotting Jess’ tears!) and interjecting her thoughts while Brandon would just look at her lovingly through it all.

Something about me that’s very different than most photographers: I never ask people to kiss while posing. So all of the photos of them kissing, that’s because they couldn’t resist each other. 😉

YES! I must profess that I’m obsessed with the dress that was so perfectly Jess!*

*I confess: that took me way too long express. Nonetheless, I digress.

On brand!

They originally wanted to have a destination wedding in New Orleans. They settled for being introduced with a New Orleans style second line, and it was SO perfectly them!

After their reception events we hopped into a golf cart and chased the sunset light. And I’m not being cutesy when I say that we chased the sunset… we REALLY were chasing the light!

"Brandon! See that spot of sun over there? GO!!!"

Thank you for everything you two. We can’t wait to see you all again soon!

What they said

What was the most memorable moment of your day?

Jessica: My most memorable moment was definitely when Brandon slid across the floor to me when Pony was playing and ripped the knees out of his pants I’m one lucky girl!…….and of course all of Brandon’s words to me throughout the day.

Brandon: My most memorable moment was tough to choose, but it had to be my first glimpse of Jessica walking out onto the isle. I never got to see her dress until that moment, and she looked amazing. This moment embodied everything I feel for her, and made me feel that without a doubt she is the love of my life!

Any advice for future bride/grooms?

Jessica: Have zero regrets girls! Things will go wrong as a natural part of the day, but just focus on each other. Oh, and drink WATER!! Designate someone as your water boy/girl for the day so you don’t get dehydrated in that dress!

Brandon: The advice I would give to grooms is to focus on your bride and your day. A lot of people will want to talk to you and of course congratulate you, but ultimately what you will remember is the time you got to enjoy with your wife and all the people closest to you. So make the most of it!

Funniest memory from your wedding day?

Jessica: I had a top three list but there were way more. 1. When we couldn’t find mom’s flower corsage and it was in the bushes at the hotel. 2. When our friend cried her contacts out because I was “so” beautiful. Cards are still out whether there was alcohol involved. 3. When the bride from next door told me she wished she was at our wedding!

Brandon: I think the funniest moment had to be when a bride from another wedding showed up and said she wished she had been at this wedding, I mean come on how often does that happen! …. As a runner up, burning a hole in my pants by sliding on my knees across cement…Hilarious at the time…much less funny the next day.

What were your songs?

processional • It’s a wonderful life, Louis Armstrong (Parents) Marry you, Bruno Mars ( Bridesmaids) A thousand years instrumental, Christina Perri (Bride)
recessional • Perfect, Ed Sheeran
wedding party introductions • The Second Line, Stop Inc.
first dance • Feels like home, Chantal Kreviazuk
mother/son • I’ll Stand by you, The Pretenders
cake cutting • Pour Some Sugar on me, Def Leopard
last dance • Don’t Stop Believing, Journey

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?

Jessica: Absolutely not because then it wouldn’t be “ours” I loved everything and loved marrying Brandon even more.

Brandon: If I had to change anything it would definitely be to eat at some point during the day! The dinner was the only food I had all day. Other than that the day was even more than I could have hoped for.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We took a Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise followed by a few days in Rome, Italy.

*I confess: that took me way too long express. Nonetheless, I digress.
