I remember waiting for the ceremony to start, shooting a few candid photos, when I heard a few strums of Bon Iver. Never have I been so touched by the chords that started off the processional. The falsetto voice, strumming of the guitars, the beating of the drums, it all just fit so perfectly, just like Jessie and Jeff.
Jessie and Jeff are so beautiful together, the looks of love when they gaze at each other, it’s so apparently that they are so madly in love with each other. Jeff knew when he saw Jessie a few years ago at a wedding, that she was the one for him. I am so lucky to document these two wedding day in Conroe, TX at the Moran Ranch. There were so many details at the wedding, it was gorgeous.
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I’ll be with you
