We had a good feeling from the start- but all the love, happiness, and pure joy felt between the bride, groom, and their loved ones made this day perfect. Before they headed out for the first look, Jacques sat down and read the letter his bride left for him next to her custom wedding parasol. After the girls were glammed up, they helped Anna into her stunning lace ballgown dress and perfect pink heels. We easily captured her beauty as she put on her finishing touches and took off to get her married at the College of Physicians!
She walked down the stairs, tapped him on the shoulder, and the tears started flowing. He admired his stunning wife-to-be and could not contain his happiness as the day went on. The wedding party and family standing close by cheered them on as they saw each other and kissed for the first time on their special day. During family portraits outside the sun got a little hot, so Jacques quietly went off to find Anna some water, and it was little things like that which showed how intensely he loves and cares for her.
They decided to take advantage of the nice weather and posed for some cozy and intimate pictures in the gardens. When Anna danced and spun around in her elegant ballgown dress, she looked like the happiest, most care-free bride on her wedding day. The amazing window lighting paired with stacks of old medical texts created a dramatic and moody setting perfect for this sweet and stylish couple.
Soon it was time to hide the bride again before they could call themselves husband and wife. We headed into the suite where the bridesmaids helped Anna into her veil for the ceremony. Right before the wedding started, Anna finally had a moment to herself to open her letter that Jacques had written her that morning. With State Representative Brian Sims there to officiate, Anna and Jacques each wrote their own individual vows for each other. Again, Jacques could not hold back his tears as he heard the personal vows being read to him by his bride.
They shared a kiss and headed up the aisle and into the rest of their lives as husband and wife. While everyone went back outside into the courtyard for cocktail hour, we stayed behind for a few more portraits in that gorgeous library lighting. Anna and Jacques even snuggled up together in front of the fireplace for a few minutes.
