Jason met Jessica at a Halloween party, so I think October was a great choice for their wedding. Engaged back in April (although they’ve been dating for years now), they had a whirlwind trip to the altar, but Jessica seemed to have such a perfect handle on getting everything done and done well, it barely looked like it phased either of them. They chose a beautiful venue (Oak Arbor in Rochester, MI) with amazing light and views; they chose the perfect day (just enough sun and some great wind to work with Jessica’s AMAZING cathedral veil!); and they were surrounded by tons of family and friends throughout the wedding and totally fun reception. 
The schedule was nicely padded to allow for a lot of family photos, and more than enough great ones of the bride and groom, although the chilly weather made us head in a little sooner than we could have. I just LOVE all the shots we got of Jason and Jessica. They really had a great wedding through and through, and I couldn’t be happier with it! I even got to see my parents, as they were in attendance, along with various other cousin’s I haven’t seen since Jessica’s brother, Ryan, got married in 2009. I wish the very best to Jason and Jessica. Thanks for being such a great couple. Looking forward to putting together a great album for you guys! Next on my list!
