Running Hare Vineyard Wedding | Mark and Jess

I drove up to the Running Hare Vineyard for Jess and Mark’s wedding day and I couldn’t help but imagine that I was driving up to a winery in Tuscany…it has that old world feel and the laid back vibe there was so perfect for their wedding! I love when a bride is so excited to get married that she’s just so joyful and relaxed because all she’s focused on is that moment that she gets to say “I do” to her groom! That was Jess…when I walked up to her she was so happy and excited that the day was finally here! And everything was perfect. We finished the last few portraits after the ceremony just as it started to rain and as we ran inside to escape the storm, I felt so grateful that this is what I get to do for my job…I love capturing all of the special moments on a wedding day so that a couple can look back and remember their wedding day unfolding and the moment when they began the rest of their lives together….

Jess and Mark started dating in high school so this day was such a long time coming! I love the way they interact and how it’s so evident that they are each other’s best friend. I think you can really sense their love for each other in their photos and I can’t wait for you to see these…I hope you enjoy my favorites! Congratulations again, Mark and Jess!
