If you missed it, here’s part 1.
Today, I’m going to share the “getting ready” photos from Jess and Sam’s wedding. I just happened to have a wonderful friend, Kori Hoffman, who lives in Charlotte, who is also a talented photographer agree to help me out for the day. I don’t know what I would have done without a second shooter! She focused on the guys during the getting ready photos and did a fantastic job!

The significance of this text is amplified when you consider they only kissed once before the wedding. :)
The flower girls were from Israel! They are the daughters of a close friend who filmed the engagement video I shared yesterday. Their dresses were adorable – they looked like little fairies!
The girls gathered around Jess to pray for her, but she ended up blessing them even more!
Jess read Sam’s handwritten love letters before writing her vows.
One of my favorite little details of this wedding was that Jess loves to make jewelry, so each of her bridesmaids borrowed a piece of from her collection and wore it on the wedding day. They all carried a piece of her beauty and creativity with them!

Jess bought her dress at a shop in Dallas that is going to be the focus of a new reality series on WEtv called “Girl Meets Gown”. There was a crew at the wedding filming and they are going to use some of my images in the segment, airing March 9th. I don’t get WE anymore, so I’ll be looking for someone to invite me over! :D
I just fell in love with Jess and Sam’s parents! This is Jess’ mom.
Another handwritten letter arrived while she was getting ready.

So beautiful.
The scarf is just so Jess.
Dad barely holding it together, can’t even look at his little girl….
Mom too…
Kori’s photos of Samuel getting ready…
He wore jeans and tennis shoes. It was perfect. Not everyone could have pulled it off, but he totally did!
This one just cracks me up!
Check back tomorrow for more!
