I love Jessica + Jacob!! They were so amazing to work with for their engagement session and their beautiful wedding that took place at the Hawthorne House! I am so grateful that they chose me to their photographer on this beautiful August day!

Jessica + Jacob have been best friends and have dated for several years. They had a long distance relationship for a while with Jacob at OU and Jessica at KU. They spent so many hours on the road driving back and fourth just see each other. And now they both get to be together forever which is a moment they have been waiting for! They are truly perfect together!

Their wedding was gorgeous, surrounded by their closest family and friends and you could tell that the bride and groom are SO loved! I loved Jessica’s gorgeous wedding gown and Jacob’s amazing tuxedo. Jessica and Jacob are seriously so sweet inside and out!
