A Spring Wedding at The Paramount – Meyer Ballroom: Julia & Jared

post filed in:

Wedding

 

I met Julia & Jared in high school. They had just started dating each other and everyone was excited about it. 🙂 When they asked me about shooting their wedding, I was pumped!

These two have been meant to be from the beginning and get to see their relationship take the next step was just the best. 🙂 I couldn’t be more excited for these two and I am really excited about this sneak peek!

But first… The Top 5 Moments/Things from Julia & Jared’s wedding…

 

#5. The crazy weather. I mean… We got it ALL on Friday! Overcast skies, rain, sunshine and even snow! This can be a little stressful sometimes, but Julia & Jared totally rolled with it and we get incredible shots! I’m especially excited about the snow shots we got at the end of the night. You’ll have to scroll to see what I mean. 😉

#4. I loved Jared’s boutonnière! Julia actually made all of the boutonnières and they looked incredible. The best part? The fishing lure attached to each of them.

If you know Julia & Jared, you know it’s special because fishing is one of the things they love to do together and because Jared proposed while they were fishing together. What you may not know, is that this particular lure is special because it’s been passed down for generations in Julia’s family and now includes Jared. 🙂

#3. The couples sparkler exit! We grabbed just the bridal party, family and headed outside. Since it was an intimate group, Julia & Jared got to run through a couple times. It. Was. Perfect!

#2. Sneaking out for sunset photos! This is one of my favorite things to do on a wedding day, even if there isn’t a colorful sunset. It’s a chance to get extra Bride/Groom photos and with Julia & Jared, we actually got to take photos in a couple new spots! It was quick and so, so worth it!

#1. The couples vows. I LOVE when couples write their own vows. When they share from the heart as they commit their lives to each other. Julia & Jared’s vows were perfect. 🙂
