I was so looking forward to this wedding. After shooting Leah and Jesse’s engagement session, I knew their wedding would be beautiful. They were ALL smiles during their engagement, so, SO happy… I knew all those smiles would be there on their big day. They were. Rain and all, they were so ready to be married. I have seen a lot of weddings but never had I seen a groom more in love.  The way Jesse looks at Leah was just so refreshing.  Leah put a lot of work into making their wedding day perfect and it certainly paid off. See for yourself below! I hope you both had a blast in Vegas! Thank you to Megan for second shooting the day with me! And one more thank you to both families for welcoming Megan and I with open arms!

Love the shirts Leah got her girls for getting ready!

Ready to see his girl!

Best first look reaction…

Leah and Jesse decided to exchange their gifts together

Leah gave Jesse cuff links made from a baseball from an actual Oriel’s game. Love that idea!
