Nicole and Jason were SO ready for their wedding day to arrive. And when that day came? It was, according to sources that include Nicole’s best friend (hi Stephani 
), perfect (minus a few issues with a certain groomsman’s pocket square, but hey, nothing like a fellow groomsman with an iPhone to save the day with an Internet search for instructions!)
These two were so sweet with one another and they pulled off a beautiful afternoon filled with lots of love and lots of personalized details — from Nicole’s handmade veil to the brass quintet that welcomed her down the aisle (this is a MUSIC-LOVIN’ FAMILY … and I love them for it!), all went off without a hitch…except for, well, the two people who did, in fact, get hitched 
Nicole and Jason, thank you for trusting me to document your big day. I think I had as much fun as you two did and that’s saying something
WATCH THEIR WEDDING DAY SLIDESHOW
Nicole surprised Jason with these awesome Transformers cuff links. When I asked her about ‘em, she was like, “You like those? We’re pretty big dorks and we’re OK with that.” I thought it was cute 
Nicole and Jason opted for a first look before their ceremony begin and I must say, these moments are quickly becoming my favorite of the wedding day. I really feel like, the more first looks I do, the more anticipation there is for the “big reveal”. And then? Sweetness overload. I LOVED the way Jason couldn’t take his eyes off his bride! 
A first for me: Nicole forgot her necklace and earrings for the first look, so when she finally had them in hand, Jason helped her in putting them on. For some reason, this image makes me think about how awesome—in big and small ways—having a spouse can be. 
Nicole and her bridesmaids had a song for EVERYTHING. They were such a giggly bunch and it made photographing them a blast. They were all too happy to bust a move for me … girls, THIS is the kind of fun you should have on your wedding day. So stop stressing about the little things and let loose, ‘kay? 
Practicing their ballroom skills (Nicole’s a ballroom dancer) 
FAVORITE!!! Nicole, I can’t get over how GORGEOUS you are here …this was one of those shots that the moment I took it, I got all giddy. 
Nicole, you are fantastically beautiful here. In a way that’s almost retro…maybe thanks in part to that gorgeous homemade veil?
Two moments I loved about Nicole and Jason’s wedding ceremony: That Nicole’s sister played the harp and Jason’s grandpa couldn’t put his Flip camera down. The entire day. It was the sweetest thing ever! 
I’ll title this one “Love On The Roof of a Parking Garage”
Married not even four hours and already laughing in sync to the best man’s toast … oh, you two 
These two had a table full of photographs of their parents and grandparents—such a sweet memento to personalize their reception 
Now that’s love
