it’s so incredible to me how one tiny little moment, one off-hand decision, is often the start of something huge, life-changing and beautiful. i love hearing stories like this- embracing the serendipity of it all and seeing the growth since that first instant. jessica & chris’s story happened this way- they first met at a casual gathering of friends before attending a festival. how easily one of them could have missed the pre-party! but thankfully, they met and formed an instant connection that grew strong quickly as they began not only dating but growing a deep friendship as well. when we first met jessica & chris it was this that struck me first- they are best friends. they love to laugh, goof off and explore all that life has to offer- together. it was wonderful to spend their wedding day capturing their love.

jessica & chris are both unc alumni but they didn’t meet until they both moved to atlanta! now, their shared love of unc is a big part of their life together:

jessica & chris were married at the cathedral of christ the king, one of the most stunning churches in atlanta, i think:

jessica & chris’s reception was held in the gorgeous georgian ballroom at the biltmore. we snuck in to shoot a few details before the guests entered and we were so lucky to be there when jessica & chris saw it for the first time! their gasps and smiles were full of excitement, they couldn’t wait to get the celebration started!

jessica & chris, we feel so honored to have been there to capture such a beautiful day! you guys are a perfect couple and we hope you’re enjoying your incredible hawaii/napa adventure to the max!
