Jess and Jason had a wonderful, intimate, family oriented wedding the week of Thanksgiving.  I spent my time before the wedding with Jess and the ladies (and a couple fellas) of the family getting ready for the ceremony. 

It was a wonderful time with the kids and snacks and plenty of hairspray.  Jess is lucky enough to be getting a sister-in-law who is in school for hair, so she was able to style Jess as well as several other family member's hair. 






 I totally fell for her shoes-- check out that heel!


It was important to the Bride and Groom to have the whole family involved in the wedding, especially their daughter, Layla.  Jess's siblings, niece and nephew as well as their daughter were all loving the hotel suite where they got ready. 


 Jess was ably assisted by her mom in the details of her outfit.



 Mommy and daughter's shoes.  I loved how they matched, and I know that Layla loved having a new pair of shiny shoes. 



I love this image of the future MIL's fastening Jason and his father's flowers while the Bride's brother and the Groom's sister look on.  It is so expressive of how this family has come together for Jess and Jason's big day.  It was so wonderful to meet you all and to be a part of your big event!

More photos of the ceremony and the family celebration afterwards are coming soon!
