Jake & Jess - Part 2!!

The second part of Jake & Jess' day consisted of a wonderful ceremony and reception at Windows Off Washington.  There were 250+ people there to witness Jake and Jess become one. There were so many sweet moments, lots of friends dancing and laughing the night away. We had a blast and the night flew by.

Let's start out with the beautiful ceremony.....

Lily the flower girl was just the cutest, she dropped her flower petals as she was coming down the isle...everyone got a little chuckle watching her try to collect them all.

Married!!! Love the processing on this one.

They had the BIGGEST smiles of any of our couples this year as they came down the isle as husband and wife. Love it!!

Such a cute cake!!

Jess' Dad gave such an awesome and heartfelt speech.  He had everyone in the room thoroughly engrossed in his message of love and support for their lifetime together.

Definitely one of our absolute favorite parent/bride dances of the year.

Lisa and I had to continually wipe our tears as we witnessed this incredibly touching moment.

And, we LOVED that Jess completely surprised her Mom with this dance!

We have to give a shout out to Jake's sister Kelly for keeping the evening running smoothly and free of stress!!!  Here she is looking amazing with her two boys :)
