Jessie + Jon :: Forever

I'm finally getting around to posting the last wedding we did in 2008!  What a wedding to end the year on!  Jessie + Jon are amazing people to begin with, but their wedding at Parkview Church was so beautiful... from the huge snowflakes that drifted ever so gently from the sky, to their leaving the reception to a soapy cloud of bubbles... it was awesome.  

 Gotta love the little cowboys!  

As most of you know, or can guess, the weather plays a huge factor in whether or not we take outdoor photos on the wedding day.  Well, this particular Saturday, it was snowing like crazy... I think we ended up with 5 or 6 inches in as many hours.  Anyway, we had to find somewhere else to take pictures in the church, and what could be cooler than a ball pit??  There was an all-out ball-throwing war between Jon and the little cowboys right before these pictures...

The reception was at the Coralville Marriott, and it was time to step outside into the blizzard for a few shots.  I just couldn't help but think it looks like Narnia!  

Jon and some of this brothers are pro, or semi-pro baseball players, so it was fitting that they give these baseballs as their guest favors!  Then, Jessie + Jon spend some time autographing the baseballs for their guests.  I love it when couples look for ways to add personal touches to the wedding...

Jessie's brother played the music for the first dance/parents dances...
