Jordynn and Chris ~ Grain Exchange wedding

Grain_Exchange_Wedding_jc001

Jordynn has always been happy, one of her bridesmaids told me as we rode the elevator up to the room where the girls were getting ready. But it’s been a different kind of happy since Jordynn met Chris, she explained. A true, honest happy. Happier than she has ever been.

There’s something magical about this couple. Honestly, truly, wholeheartedly — there is. I’ve never seen more joy, more love, more passion, more laughter, more kindness, more empathy, more excitement, more life. To think of these two is to smile, and to know these two is a blessing. Their day was filled with too many laughs — and tears — to count. This Grain Exchange wedding was nothing short of world-class — beauty, friendship, family bonds, classic elegance, style and fun. Every where I turned, there was dancing, laughing, joking, love and excitement. Jordynn and Chris, one day was simply not enough with you two — thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting us into your lives during this incredibly special time. I hope our paths cross 101 more times. 😉

A huge thank you to my second shooter for the day, Maggie, who did an outstanding job. 🙂

The view from the girls’ getting ready room at The Pfister was spectacular.

I loved this quiet moment Jordynn had to herself just before putting on her dress.

Jordynn’s relationship with her dad had me tearing up all day long.

I knew Jordynn and Chris’ First Look in the Blu Lounge in The Pfister would be beautiful and spectacular, but I never could have guessed Chris’ reaction. It was such an honor to witness!

Do couples get any more adorable and in love than this? No, no they don’t. 🙂

La Tulipe did such an amazing job on the flowers.

Jordynn and Chris’ reaction when they first saw their ballroom at The Grain Exchange proves exactly the type of couple they are … thankful, and full of life and love.
