Jackie and Brian met on the water skiing team at the University of Kansas.  She told me at our first meeting that they spent those days skiing all day and then camping out at night, partying with friends.  I kind of wished I could have experienced that in another life.  I knew two people who fell in love in that scene would be people I would like to know.

Jackie’s bridesmaids were either family or friends that she had known since, like, kindergarten.  I have friends like that, so it was fun for me to see that same dynamic among them- stories upon stories- a million days of laughs built up.  And all the moms were there too!  Though I didn’t get to know Brian before the wedding day, I immediately liked him for the way he treated his friends, family, and Jackie.  A kind smile and warm eyes.  One of my favorite things about these two is how authentic and unfussy they are.  they went with the flow and didn’t sweat the small stuff.  Really looking forward to seeing you all next week!

There are strict rules of staying at the back at this church, so I planted a remote camera to get this angle of the unity candle

the getaway car was Jackie’s dad’s vintage corvette
