meggie + paul - wedding

what can i say? what a BEAUTIFUL wedding. every detail was perfect! i had such a fun day with these two. they have such a great style and i loved the venue, the CHANTILLY MANSION! it's a historic home turned wedding venue in Layton, UT and would totally recommend it. i loved the bride and groom's rooms, the lighting was totally opposite and so fitting. it has a great open area and a lot of different sitting areas and rooms that are just beautiful. also, my second shooter HEATHER did an incredible job. i am so happy to be debuting some of her work for JKP! you can look for her again at some upcoming events as well. =)

Denise said...

Seriously my most favorite shots of yours EVER! Simply STUNNING! WOW!

Celeste said...

Jessica you have to stop it right now. I swear I'm thisclose to divorcing Matt so that you can shoot our second wedding. (as I was typing the word second, I hit the x instead of the c. Boy would that be awkward.). This wedding is fully sick. That Meggie is one lucky bride. Paul could be a pile of crap, and I would still be jealous of her. (Although he looks like a very nice guy.) the pictures of the rings on the typewriter! The ceiling & the dress! Oh, and the grandma hug- all kill me.

Amber Shumake said...

are you kidding me?! the lighting is killer! one of my favorites of yours! post more fast!

Ginnie said...

Love those couch shots... I wish all venue's had something wonderful like that to offer. And great job with the variety in your detail shots. I love the textures you scouted out.

Jayme said...

Oh man, these are insane!! I always learn so much from your posts. I don't know how you seem to capture EVERYTHING especially when it all happens so fast... fabulous work!!! And I know how much work it takes to blog about it so kuddos to you for taking the time to do it.

These are some of the first full on ceremony photos I've seen you shoot and I absolutely adore them. You capture the emotion of everyone so perfectly and I love the shadowy stairs pics best. Love it!

HOLY CRAP JESSICA! This post is amazing. The one of the dress with the silvery ceiling is my favorite dress shot ever! Although I'd love to have you shoot a second wedding for us, I'd REALLY love to be a second shooter! Seriously. (I know, I need to get in line....haha)
