I will try to put this wedding into words….but it probably won’t happen. Dan and Jessica have become such good friends over the past couple of years, and Ryan and I were honored to capture their unique nuptials. We met Dan through our weekly leads group (called BNI, look it up, it changed our lives and business for the better), and I like to think we quickly became friends. Really we were just lucky that Dan was willing to give us a chance, because he’s way cooler than us. 😉 Their wedding day was a culmination of a lot of work and love from family and friends, and it all came together in a fun and unconventional way. Dan’s mom and family provided the dinner (which was an amazing prequel to Thanksgiving this week….absolutely amazing) and Jessica’s dad hand-crafted the arbor that they got married under. Quite a few friends from our BNI group lended a hand as well, so check out the vendor list below for all the details!
Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day you guys. We are happy to call you friends.

Only Dan can pull off a skull bolo tie and jeans for wedding attire…it was perfect:
Dan’s older brother married them, which is always a nice touch:
They handmade the little tree trunk pieces to go on the mason jars as favors, and the drink boat was just the best:
The cake…and the pies…and the candied bacon….it just went on and on!
Yes, I was feeling the love… <3
