It was a wonderfully exciting day. The palm trees gently swayed back & forth in the gentle breeze at the Oakland Temple. The fountains bubbled & the flowers were still fresh with the morning dew. Their family & friends excitedly gathered around the front doors of the temple. And as Jackie & George walked out of the temple doors as husband & wife, they both threw their heads back with laughter. They were beyond excited to be married to each other & it showed. Jackie & George are just that: wonderful & exciting. And their wedding day was no different.
I remember the first time Jackie & I talked on the phone about her wedding. One of the first things she said to me was, “I am SO excited to be marrying George…he is amazing!” Her words brought a smile to my face & I could tell that Jackie was truly ecstatic to be marrying the love of her life & her best friend. If you have the privilege of knowing Jackie & George, you know that they truly are one another’s best friends…they laugh with each other & love being together, no matter what they are doing. They are fun, fabulous & just a ball of fun to be around!
I have to admit I was a little intimidated to shoot this wedding. Jackie is a photographer herself & has loads of photographer friends & so it made me a little nervous! But Jackie & George are soooooo easy to photograph & so delightful to be around that I had a great time shooting their wedding! Because Jackie & George have such great taste, their wedding reception was filled to the brim with fabulous, fabulous details (and if you read my blog, you know how much I heart details…). I LOVED everything from their food (seriously, it was AMAZING…), the handmade ties & argyle socks for the groomsmen, Jackie’s fresh & gorgeous bouquet, and I especially loved the fact that they had not one but FIVE wedding cakes! Each detail was put together so nicely & made their wedding simply gorgeous. Simply put, it was the perfect summer wedding & I was so grateful to be a part of it!
Jackie & George, you guys rock my socks. I’m so grateful to have been able photograph your wonderful wedding. I am happy that you have become my friends through this whole process. You were SO much fun to work with & I wish you happiness, love & laughter in your married life together! With gratitude, xoxo, marielle.
