There’s no doubt that there’s so many elements to a wedding day that I love, but for this specific wedding one of the elements was that Jake and Jess introduced me to the beautiful Linwood estate venue! We also photographed their engagement session there too last winter so it was fun to photograph there in the summer! It was like the venue was meant for them.

Jess (and Jake!) planned the perfect wedding to be held at Linwood from the matching silk robes, custom tailored suits, stunning green and white bouquets (my fav!) and delicious bite-sized desserts at the reception! It was so fun to see their reactions when they walked into the reception area to see their dreams and ideas come to life!

Jake and Jess – you two have made me feel like family since day one. You’ve welcomed me in with open arms and have sent me the most encouraging messages throughout this whole journey (that’s my job!! ????). There’s no where else I would’ve wanted to be on August 3rd!! Congrats Mr & Mrs Perkins, you did it!!
