Jessica and Thomas’s wedding at Glen Ellen Farm was the kind of day that just sticks with you — full of joy, happy tears, and the kind of love that makes everyone believe in soulmates. Their story started in the sweetest way, meeting at work while both were employed by Jessica’s dad (yes, really). They kept things under wraps for a bit, thinking they were being all sneaky... until they realized everyone already knew — and everyone was already rooting for them. The rest, as they say, is history. Glen Ellen Farm was practically glowing in that late spring light, with the gardens in full bloom. Their first look on the rocks overlooking the water was tender and private, and their vows had me (and let’s be honest, everyone) feeling emotional.

Every corner of the day felt intentional and full of heart — from the quiet excitement in the getting ready room to the way Thomas looked at Jessica like she was the only person in the world. Her first look with her dad was absolutely unforgettable, one of those moments you just feel. Having Jessica’s grandfather officiate the ceremony made everything even more personal and heartfelt, and watching the two of them say I do in front of someone who’s known Jessica her whole life was incredibly special. From the tearjerker speeches from J&T’s siblings to the parent dances that had the whole tent cheering, the day unfolded like magic. The in-between moments were just as sweet: quiet laughs during dinner, the selfies taken during cocktail hour, and how golden hour wrapped around them like it was custom made for their portraits. It was one of those weddings where the energy never dipped — where love, support, and genuine joy overflowed from beginning to end. Once the dance floor opened, it was game over. A full-on celebration kicked off with the most chaotic dance circle, where Thomas may or may not have attempted to breakdance. And if that wasn’t enough, the DJ even handed over the reins so they could mix a song themselves — and of course, they nailed it.

Jessica and Thomas, thank you for letting me witness a day so full of love, laughter, and the kind of magic that doesn't wear off.
