You might recognize this oh so gorgeous couple from their engagement session a little while back. A few weeks ago we were excited to head down to Americus, Georgia to photograph their wedding. We knew their wedding was going to be fun, and we weren’t disappointed! I have to say that this was one of the most fun bridal parties we’ve had (more on that later). Jessica put a lot of thought into all of the details for her wedding day, and it really showed. They had some neat things that I loved, like a gelato cart outside during the reception, a cute candy table, and the flowers were beautiful! I also loved the fact that Jessica and her mother, Lynne, used every bit of Lynne’s wedding veil for the wedding; Jessica’s veil, the lace decorating the cake table, and also the lace wrapped around Jessica’s bouquet were all made from parts of Lynne’s veil. Little touches like that are what make weddings so special! The wedding ceremony was at the First Baptist Church of Americus and the reception was at the Lee Council House.
Now, on with the pictures! As always, check out their slideshow link at the end of the post!
Jessica got ready in a gorgeous bedroom in the Lee Council House. I loved this shot of her adjusting her veil in the antique mirror!
Jessica & Eric chose to see each other before the ceremony for portraits. We LOVE it when couples do that, and Jessica and Eric both agreed that they were happy they decided to do a First Look! This shot…*sigh*….the look on Eric’s face…*aaawwww*. Oh, and also take note of the completely awesome hairstyle Jessica is wearing. I’m pretty sure this was my favorite wedding hair-do of all time. The antique pins in her hair are actually a brooch and earrings that belonged to her grandmother…beautiful!
The stained glass windows inside the Lee Council House were soooo beautiful. When the sun hit them, it almost looked like they were on fire.
Remember how I said that this was a really fun bridal party?? I have to tell the story about this next picture. Right before we began taking the formal pictures of the bridesmaids, one of the girls got us in on a little prank they wanted to pull on Jessica. They wanted us to get her out in front of them so she couldn’t see what they were doing, and then they put tinfoil over their teeth - totally gangsta! LOL Jessica was standing there smiling prettily into the camera and her girls were going crazy behind her! We asked Jessica how well she really knew these people, and told her she might want to take a look behind her. After some pretty comical shock, Jessica ended up getting into the act herself and giving us a shiny grin (check out the slideshow to see that!). Here is an unsuspecting Jessica with her crazy fun bridesmaids!
*side note* Don’t you love the dresses!?!? I think Jessica has excellent taste in colors for obvious reasons! 
Kenneth managed to tuck himself behind a piano up on the stage during the ceremony and grab some awesome images up close. We don’t get to do that very often because of church rules, or the way the stage is set up, but this worked out perfectly! I couldn’t see him from the back of the church, and even the bridesmaids on the stage said that they didn’t know where he was! He is a photo ninja! haha!
I’m not sure that Jessica and Eric knew what they were in for when they handed out streamers to go along with the bubbles for their grand exit. By the time they got to the end of the stairs, they could barely walk because they were so tangled in the streamers. But it made for some really COOL pictures! I loved it!
