These two have a very special quality that makes me want to photograph them for days and days, and I first witnessed it when we did their engagement session (which is still one of my favorites to date).  They seem to personify love with the way they smile at each other.  Every time they look at one another, they are absorbed by a big, gorgeous smile.  (You will see for yourself in a moment).  Julie and Jason had a First Look so that they could most of their portraits in private before guests arrived for the ceremony, which means that Kim and I got to enjoy their adorableness all to ourselves.  It was lovely.  I would, seriously, photograph them day in and day out if I could.

Congratulations, Julie & Jason!  Your wedding was a gorgeous, laidback affair – just like you two – and it was a pleasure to be a part of it.
