You know when you meet a couple and you think to yourself, “Dang! You guys were legitimately created for each other!!” Well that’s Chad and Jenna! … and I’m not just saying that because it’s my job to make our clients look like they’re all perfectly matched to each other in the intros to these blogs! I say it because it’s some serious T.R.U.T.H! Jenna and Chad are connected in the most inspiring way and make everyone around them want to be as in love as they are! And the passion levels between these two are off the richter! You’ll see, really quickly how much joy, love, compassion and laughter these two humans exude! And when they’re together, they’re nearly impossible to take your eyes off of! As you can imagine, Aaron and I had the best time following them around all day at their wedding, and looking through their photos makes us wish we were right back there with them at Lowndes Grove that day!! And, as a little side note, if you’re looking for a band to absolutely blow your guests away, we 100000% recommend Steel Toe Stiletto! It was our first time having them at a wedding and WOW!!! This band was insane! If I closed my eyes, I would have thought it was Beyonce singing the whole night and their first dance was to “Say You Won’t Let Go” by James Arthur, and I’m not kidding, it was as good, if not better, than the real James Arthur singing it! This band is the REAL DEAL, y’all! ….and HUGE shoutout to the gals behind Boutique Planning! It was our first time working with them, but hopefully not the last! They’re amazing at what they do and their design was clearly gorgeous! Now, enough chatting, let’s get to the photos of this dream wedding!! Have you ever seen a more beautiful wedding day?! I mean, seriously! … and now these two are honeymooning in Bali, Indonesia, one of our absolute favorite places on the planet!!!! Jenna and Chad, THANK YOU for being so incredible to work with; so appreciative and generous, so laid back and trusting, so authentic and fun-loving, so passionate and gracious, so friendly and positive, so warm hearted and welcoming, etc…. etc…. etc….! Sorry y’all, we don’t have all day here, but you get the point! You guys are EXTRAORDINARY and we were blessed to have our lives cross for your wedding! Love you both and thank you for the impression you left on our lives! A&J
