Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13

This is a verse that was dear to this couple’s heart. I was fortunate to get to know them both a bit more during their engagement portrait session. Right away I could tell they were deeply in love and ready to move forward and build a new life together. Both Jessica and Carman are very sweet, modest and joy-filled people. They are a beautiful match and I believe they will have a strong and loving marriage.

I love photographing fall wedding and being surrounded by all the fall colors. The Whitakers wedding had the most beautiful details that beautifully complemented each other. 

Jessica and Carman both put a lot of thought into their decorations and ceremony. Much of their relationship was centered around agriculture. They both wanted that to be highlighted within their big day. For their engagement portrait session we met at Eden Gardens where they had their first date. During the Wedding Ceremony they planted a beautiful tree to symbolize the strong foundation and growth they will have throughout their marriage. At the end of the night we took their final pictures together at the spot where Carman proposed to Jessica. 

I could tell they’ve built a strong foundation, and with the joy they both bring to each other, I know they are going to have a very blessed life together.
