Congratulations, Jon & Mary!! These two had such a fun and relaxed outdoor wedding last weekend here in Bakersfield – although by using a private residence that blew me away you would have never known we weren’t in a luscious jungle somewhere in an exotic location! I was in awe of the gorgeous jungle-like feel that they were able to utilize and build their wedding around and I’m pretty sure I mentioned both Jumanji and the set of Lost at least twice. The details of purple and green went beautifully with the decor and we had a lot of fun walking all over the property getting some great shots! Here are some of my favorites of the details and of Mary & Jon during and after their first look. Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness – thank you for letting me capture your special day!
Mary, you are gorgeous!!
Jon & Mary chose to do a First Look – and with a ceremony that started as the sun was setting, I was excited to be able to take all of their photos before hand to not only enjoy the great light but to provide them with some wonderful time together to relax, breath and embrace the joy of the day! Both of these two told me as we were getting prepared for their reveal that their hearts were racing with nerves and excitement at getting to see one another. Having that moment to watch and photograph the first few seconds that they see each other for the first time on their wedding day is always a special and emotional moment for us to photograph. Mary looked stunning and Jon was so excited to see his future wife! Sorry Jon…had to show off the love you have for Mary – and I love the last photo of you giving me that look 😉 Thanks for being such a great sport!
Check back with us on Wednesday to see their ceremony and wedding party photos!! Special thanks to Casey Hardy for second shooting with me 🙂
