Rockford Wedding Photographer // Jay & Mieka!!

Jay & Mieka’s wedding was nothing short of spectacular!  I have been so excited for their wedding for months now!  They became engaged on a Disney cruise and she called me on their way home……from then on I knew we’d be a match 🙂  With an amazing team of vendors…..their wedding was perfect!

Remember them from their engagement session?

There is a good chance that I was obsessed with her Jimmy Choos!  She’s lucky they weren’t my size 🙂

Their colored socks were so much fun!  Some of the groomsmen said they are going to wear them to the gym….I think they were being sarcastic…

The ceremony was held deep into the golf course, along side the Rogue River….so pretty!  The quiet noise of the river was so peaceful in the background.

After dinner and the formal dances, we went outside to send off some Chinese wish lanterns!  Such a fun idea!

Fun wedding guests make my job so much more interesting!  I think there should be a wedding service where you can hire “fun weddings guests” if you think your crowd may need some inspiration…lol
