essica and Joe have known each other since they were in high school. The beautiful couple have so much history between them. They had even lived in different states. She traveled, but they kept coming back to each other. Joe proposed exactly one year from their wedding date in Belmont, Texas. He fell to one knee and she was speechless, with tears in her eyes, she said yes.
Jessica is originally from Carlsbad. She travelled all over the world, including Spain, Morocco, New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand, and came back to live in Texas, where Joe is originally from. In Carlsbad on a sunny October day, Jessica stands with Joe, and they say their wedding vows in front of their family who flew from all over to be there for them as they make it official.
Jessica wore beautiful d’orsay shoes by Bagley Mischka. 
Jessica’s Maggie Sottero lace dress with a corset back fit her perfectly..
Joe looked handsome in his suit and checkered tie.
Jessica, you are a stunning bride!
After the ceremony, the newlyweds headed to Carlsbad State Beach for romantic portraits by the ocean. 
It was a beautiful wedding, and the bride and groom must have felt absolutely on top of the world.
As we crossed the street at the stoplight, a line of cars honked and waved to congratulate the newlyweds.
A firetruck honked their horn the loudest and congratulated Jessica and Joe on getting hitched! I thought it was pretty fabulous.
I love that the couple included the movie “Up” into their white and gold wedding decor. They even had gold balloons as a nod to the heartfelt movie about the most adorable married couple and their travel adventures.
Jessica and Joe, thank you for choosing me to be your wedding photographer. It was awesome to meet your family and capture your memorable wedding day!
xoxo,

I just want to thank you for doing such a good job in capturing my stepdaughter’s special day. We’ve been hoping this day would turn out as beautiful as you have portrayed it in your photo presentation. They are a handsome couple and you also captured their inner beauty as well. Glad we were blessed with a nice “beachy” day for your backdrop. Your talent is excellent! God’s blessing for a successful business.
