From the moment I met Jessica at Starbucks to chat about her wedding plans, I knew what she was envisioning for her big day was going to be absolutely magical. Jessica + Tyler rented a tent, some tables, a dance floor + began their married lives together in Tyler’s favorite place: his parent’s land in Chester, Virginia. This Rustic Glam wedding was the perfect combination of their personalities, from the “kayak cooler” to the elaborate cupcake display, Jessica + Tyler thought of it ALL!

As soon as the I Do’s were said, the veil came off, & the floral crown came on, & after the most romantic portraits, the party started! The night was full of slow dances, the sweetest (& funniest!) toasts (I may or may not have teared up!) cake to the face, friends getting “iced,” and a sparkler exit for the perfect ending of a perfect wedding day!

The love Jessica + Tyler share is truly one for the ages. It is extremely evident that they are not only a husband + wife, but also best friends. At the altar, I asked Tyler why he was standing on the opposite side, and he absolutely BEAMED with pride when letting me know it was so Jess could have her “good side” for the ceremony. I have never seen a groom smile so big when seeing his bride walk down the aisle, and you could tell the entire day he was just so proud to call her his wife. He truly wanted her to have everything she ever wanted in a wedding (never once complained about formal portraits!) and took care of her just as much as she takes care of him.

Jessica + Tyler, thank you so so much for trusting me with your big day, and letting me be apart of all the fun! I hope you guys are having the best time in Mexico, and I am so excited to keep cheering your marriage on from the sidelines! (and by that I mean through social media!)
