Kristina + Jay: Married at Jonathan Edwards Winery
My most jumping-est couple ever! I love these two and their beautiful, joyous spirit, as well as the incredible love and respect for each other and their friends and families. Their October wedding day at Jonathan Edwards Winery was framed with rain clouds, but instead of showing disappointment, they headed outside with me with their typical upbeat spirit for photos in the rain, and embraced the intimacy of a wedding ceremony in the winery’s barrel room. After the ceremony, we headed to the warm embrace of the tent for a simply fantastic party. Come celebrate with Kristina and Jay!
Two beautiful shoe choices for our lovely bride.I loved the letterpress simplicity of their wedding stationery.

With a beautiful October backdrop, they shared their first look.
And yes, those are raindrops behind them, but look at those smiles.

As is their grand tradition, they had to do a jump shot, and they did it in style.
And so did their wedding party!
We headed inside for their ceremony amidst the barrels.
And then headed over to the party in the tent!
A big sparkler sendoff (under clear and starry skies, of course) was the perfect finish to a tremendous day. The Skinny
