We originally met with Kyle and Jessica back in September via Zoom and learned about when they met in the Army 12 years which first led to the decisive moment of him proposing at Universal Studios which subsequently leads us to this beautiful wedding day at Windsor Manor full of smiles, icing each other, beautiful vows, some great toasts and vivid shades of Jessica’s favorite color, pink.

The wedding day itself started off with us meeting the new venue manager/on sight coordinator, Christine as well as our friend Mallory of Honeycomb Florals to say hey briefly since we arrived early. That then lead straight to us getting into gathering details while saying hey to Jessica and all of her girls, as we were getting into the details downstairs, Kyle also showed up which worked out perfectly for us to grab the rings and a few other things which is where we heard about the first “icing” of the day which is a prank but, we won’t go into the details of that here. Once we finished details, we split up some while I did photo and video of the venue and the girls (Morgan and Bella) worked on getting the dress setup and also getting some of the makeup process taking place. The guys started to finish up getting ready so we got Jessica’s letter and gift for Kyle and set him up to read and open in the more quiet room for video reasons but, he opened a really nice watch and loved it and may or may not have gotten choked up some reading the letters. We then did the same for Jessica after getting photos of everyone in their robes together on the couch and had her read and open her beautiful necklace as well which her Mom came and helped put it on right after. The guys all made their way outside with Bella and I to do their group photos while the girls were getting dressed which then led straight into doing the first look for Jessica and Kyle. Guests started showing up pretty early so, we opted to do the first look inside by the stairs and they shared a beautiful moment just before ceremony time.

The ceremony started off with the groom and groomsmen all coming from the side just after some of the family and that was followed by everyone else coming down the aisle where their kiddos seemed to enjoy their moment coming down too which led straight into Jessica and her Father coming down the aisle. In that moment, Kyle was holding back tears and they were both so happy as she got closer and closer. Once they shared their I-do’s and finished off the ceremony with a kiss, they made their way back up the aisle together as husband and wife with their family and loved ones trailing just behind to the family formals location. Here, they were met with their glasses for a celebratory drink together. We then photographed all of their formal photos and some romantic golden hour couples portraits just before heading into the reception.

As everyone entered into the reception, they were greeted with cheers as the DJ Mike announced them in which was followed with some dance moves by some of them. As the newlyweds came in, everyone cheered and they went straight into their first dance followed by the Father-Daughter dance. The next part included a pasta bar so, you can imagine that we loved that and Delectable Delights knocked it out of the park with the delicious food. As everyone finished up eating, we then went into the loving toasts by both the Best Man and Matron of Honor who are family and had a ton of stories and loving sentiments to share with everyone present. We also cut the cake and then the dance floor opened up where everyone had a blast and a few will for sure make some fun moments in the wedding film with how much they enjoyed the cameras. The night ended with the glowstick exit and cheers of everyone present and we left with a big smile on our faces for how beautiful the day was. We’re excited for their sweet family and know they have a fun adventure ahead with each other!

Back in the Spring, we had the chance to meet up with Andrew and Samantha in person for the first time at their engagement session which you can see here. It was so much fun and the fact that we were able to include their sweet pup Stevie which you will notice he shows up in some details in the wedding since he stayed home on the big day. The wedding day itself took place at one of our favorites, Windsor Manor, where we got married back in 2018 ourselves and every time we get to visit, it’s so special and we have such a kinship with the couples in having similar taste already and this couple is just so sweet and we have loved the entire process of getting ready for this wedding day with them!

The wedding day itself started with us showing up and saying hey to Samantha and everyone getting ready in the bridal suite and then gathering details to photograph which is also where we got to formally meet the coordinator Justine as well and she helped even with some of the details in the midst of juggling doing a ton of other things as well and we loved talking with her. Once we finished with details, we poked our heads back in and said hey to Andrew and his Groom’s team also as they were all showing up. Once everyone was ready, we set up for their first look for photo and video really quick with just Morgan and I covering it. Once they had a short sweet moment together, we hopped straight into some couples portraits before getting the wedding party together and they made their way inside to do one more practice of their first dance together inside which made for a great photo op as well! At that point we also had the finished cake nearby to photograph and some other details then before long it was time to setup for the ceremony and get in place as guests were showing up. As the ceremony started, the song selection was immaculate and a lot of the wedding party danced their way in a little down the aisle which would be better seen in the video later and would have been a ton of photos to include here. From our understanding, this was all a passion project of Samantha’s for the songs and then it switched from the upbeat songs to the beautiful song “Turning Page” by Sleeping at Last as Samantha and her parents came down the aisle and Andrew only got a little misty eyed but had a huge smile on his face which would later change during their vows and the story he told about the courage that Samantha has given him to overcome things in his life and the way that she loves him and really all of the vows and stories were beautiful and I am pretty sure everyone shed a little bit of a single tear at least. As they exchanged all of their vows and rings, they then finished off the ceremony with a kiss and making their way up the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

After the ceremony, we all met up together to do the family formal photos and full wedding party as well as just a few more couples portraits with the Golden hour light since we were ahead of schedule on everything and then it was time for Samantha’s dress to get bustled so they could make their way to the dance floor for their first dance which was so well done with the Ballroom Dance Center being great dance teachers and it all ended with a nice dip towards everyone at the reception. It was then time for the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances, a delicious BBQ dinner and then we made it to an open dance floor for a while followed by cake cutting which apparently was something they had been waiting on in excitement for a while in the planning and it turned out beautifully and even had Stevie included in the decor on the cake table. It was worth the wait they said and they had multiple flavors so it was fun to see some guests wait in line for the next layer to get cut instead because they wanted it bad enough. From here, we got back into an open dance floor for the rest of the night and taking photos with the different tables walking around then ended the night with a fun glow stick exit surprise before going back into dance some more where Mike from Magic Sound Productions did an amazing job as always so it was a ton of fun to see him again. From here, it came to time for us to leave and so we got to say goodbye to everyone and congratulate them again. We of course cannot wait to see what the future holds for them and Stevie as they start this new chapter together officially!

We had the joy of meeting up with Jason and Alyssa for their engagement session back in the Fall of 2020. You can see that session here. We got to learn about the amazing work that they both do and even get a good feel for their fun sense of humor. Fast forward to the wedding day at one of our favorites, Windsor Manor in Augusta, GA. Every time we shoot a wedding there, I swear Ian has done something new again and we get to try out new things and this was no exception!

On the wedding day, we arrived early to start on details as we normally do and got to meet up with the guys for a bit since the girls were showing up already hair and makeup ready to go. Once we said hey and the girls arrived, we split up to cover details and some different venue shots. Morgan stayed with the girls and got to capture this super sweet gift that Alyssa’s Mom gave to her (pictured below) and they had a super sweet moment. At the same time, I was in the room with the guys getting ready and joking around before heading out to do their group photos. I had our third shooter Tom with me outside and we had a great time getting to know everyone a little more. We quickly finished up the group and individual photos with the guys and then just a few of Jason by himself before sending them back up to their room so we can get the girls to do the same thing. In the process of Alyssa finishing up getting ready, her Dad snuck into the room and we had a bit of a surprise first look that went perfectly as he may or may not have shed a few tears and we may or may not have as well. Once that amazing moment had passed, we took the girls outside to do their group photos before getting ready for the first look. We had everyone outside to watch from a distance for the first look and I ran to get Jason from inside and also to mic him for the first look. Once we had him in place for the first look, we moved out of the way to capture it and let them have their own moment. It was so sweet, Jason held back tears as much as he could. We then went straight into the full Bridal Party photos and had a few funny ones in there.

Now it was time for the Ceremony and we had set up everything we needed to set up. So we’re photographing guests arriving and then everyone coming down the aisle all the way to the moment where the Bride walks down the aisle. This is one of those perfect scenarios and examples of times where the first look only adds to the day and makes it less stressful but, the moment of the Bride walking down the aisle still has an amazing reaction. Long story short, everyone got teary eyed again and there was so much joy in that garden. Once they exchanged vows and rings, they kissed and with a fun little twist, walked up the aisle with everyone blowing bubbles! Once everyone had made it out, we took care of the family photos with everyone to make sure we got everything and then went around the venue grounds with the newlyweds to do their couples photos which is always fun. We finished those up and then they made their way inside to prepare for their announcement into the reception and first dance. They shared a beautiful slow dance and also the father/daughter and mother/son dances were super sweet. After the dances, they transitioned into the speeches by the Bride’s Father and then Jason’s best man Humberto who we actually have the honor of capturing his wedding day in December. That was also followed by Alyssa’s Matron of Honor, Rebecca who gave an emotional speech to her best friend. From that point on pretty much, the dance floor was open as well as the cake cutting, bouquet toss and garter toss that took place. As the night was winding down and actually dark enough for the exit, we Mike (the DJ) announce to everyone to meet us where we would do the glow stick exit. As everyone was in place, we made our way walking backwards as the happy couple walked in front of us and had them stop and kiss about half way. Everyone was cheering and so happy to be a part of this amazing couple’s wedding day. Once we made it all the way and they kissed one more time, they made their way back over to the dance floor and we made our way to parking lot. It was such a fun wedding and we felt like we were just an extension of the bridal party most of the day. We are so happy for them and look forward to catching up in December at Humberto and Teresa’s wedding day.
