Jessica and Clay, like many others, were originally planning a much different wedding day.  They had the church and reception venue reserved, the caterer was booked and everything was falling into place.  But as the world was hit with something none of us could have predicted or prevented, Jessica and Clay took things in stride and planned an entirely different wedding for their May 23 wedding date.

And while many people were missed, the day itself couldn’t have been more perfect!  The weather was incredible, the Lord received all the glory, and Jessica and Clay became husband and wife!  There were tears, there was lots of joy and plenty of laughs.  And wedding cake and donuts too!

You two are just adorable and I couldn’t have asked for a more endearing couple to celebrate last weekend.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be there with you!  I hope your first week of marriage has been wonderful and that you love going back through your wedding day via some of my favorite photos.

Jessica got ready at her cousin’s house (both her bridesmaids are her cousins, but they aren’t sisters) and then we walked a couple houses down to the most quaint and adorable backyard for the ceremony and celebration!

Clay and his brothers were so kind and their family was as wonderful as Jessica’s!
