Jessica and Jordan were blessed with the most perfect weather the morning of their wedding at Centennial Plaza. The girls got ready at the Grand Hotel while Jordan and his guys got into their emerald green suits at the Chapel where their reception would be later in the day. So nice to have everyone at one easy location!

Instead of having a first look, Jessica chose to do a first look with just her dad and a first touch with her groom. You couldn’t watch without feeling a tug on the heartstrings!

Jessica & Jordan share a old-school kinda gem of a love story. He asked to pick her up on their first date and brought her flowers and chocolate. Then, a few months after dating, he talked to her dad, telling him of his intentions and getting permission to propose to his daughter.

The proposal story in her words:

He took me to Dauphins, a really nice restaurant in downtown Mobile on my birthday. I thought he was just doing something special, because it was my birthday. Before, we got our entrees he got up “to use the restroom” but he had only gone up to the front to ask someone to capture the proposal with pics. So, he walked back to me and said, as he was kneeling, that he had a question for me, and asked if I’d marry him as he was holding the ring with his fingers out in front of him.

They chose to get married under the huge oaks on the lawn and my amazing second shooter, Kayla swung behind the couple and got a stunning shot of their first kiss from the back. These two are just such gentle, kind souls and it was a joy to see them together. Their marriage was truly one to celebrate! Be sure to scroll to the bottom to see their fabulous vendor team!!
