Jessie and Phil were married July 29th in Grand Rapids as I'm a little behind on my blogging. This couple is ridiculously good looking as you can see. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful. Jessie is the poster bride for D.I.Y. I can't tell you how much I loved all of her details. She literally did everything herself and was still calm, I commend you Jessie Meade! It makes me wish I could do my wedding over... with more details!

I loved their new apartment. Jessie and Phil are both artistically inclined and it shows. I was in love with their set up.

Jessie & Phil decided to do a first look and I was so excited. It was Jessie's idea to take a ride on the swans. I've never had so much fun with a first look and highly recommend them. They had time to themselves before the day unfolded and provided me the opportunity to capture some really great authentic moments.

How cute are these two! Seriously, I was having the time of my life just watching these two interact, so fun loving!

Jessie carried a purse that was given to her by her great grandmother. What a nice touch to her bridal ensemble. If you are wondering, Jessie's dress is J-Crew.

I was impressed by the invitation that arrived in my mail box. Adorned with vintage stamps Jessie collected each unique handkerchief from antique stores and printed text directly on them. From that point on the anticipation fueled me for this wedding and it never let me down.

They created a very romantic ambiance for their ceremony by placing candles in ball jars at their ceremony and reception sites.

As they exited the church they made their way to a vintage Thunderbird waiting to whisk them away to the reception.

Jessie created personalized table seating cards for each guest. They were located just as you arrived inside the reception site and were hanging on vintage doors. Again, I wish I could do it all over.
