Jenn and Joe | A Wedding and the Wind

We got to know a piece of Jenn and Joe and their awesome quirkiness at their crazy engagement session- (um snow, sundresses, and donuts anyone?) but somewhere around the middle of the Priest’s homily at their wedding, Paul and I looked at each other and sighed. A big, heavy, smiling sigh, because there was such a feeling of deep contentment in this wedding day. We saw it live and we’ve seen it over the last few weeks in the pictures on our computer screen- their love is obvious and shines strong through our lenses. It’s not necessarily a sweep-you-up romance (although there’s some of that too) but it’s clear that Joe and Jenn are best friends. The way they laugh, it’s so beautiful!  Then we took carts out on the golf course and the wind came up and it was cold.  But there are just some things that bring life- soaking rain when it doesn’t matter if you’re wet, ocean waves that sting feet with cold on a cloudy day, and a really good wind.  It wiped away pretense and loosened the tendrils of her hair and brought so much laughter and coziness.  And we all came alive a little more, I think.  Doesn’t she just look radiant in his arms?

Robbie Zeller - Amy and Paul,

You have out done yourselves this time! Amazing pictures of this dear couple. Some of my favorites ever……the love was palpable!

Nancy-Jo Sinkiewicz - I am absolutely speechless! The preview pictures of Joseph and Jenn’s wedding are absolutely amazing! I was anticipating the next picture as if I was turning the page of an unforgettable novel. The best I have ever seen, but I am his Mom; in my eyes he is perfect and she is perfect for him. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent with us.

Aunt Sandra from Michigan - Thank you for sharing the pictures of Jenn and Joseph’s wedding, do to a sudden illness, we were unable to attend their special day.
The pictures are breathless and your commits of them were perfect. They are Best friends and partners for Life. Sincerely
Godmother Aunt Sandra and Uncle Gary Pearson.

Jenn and Joe | Engagement | Lake Cuyamaca

At one point during this session Jenn said, “I didn’t think engagement pictures were this weird.” To be fair, Paul and I pretty much looked at each other and shrugged in agreement. It was literally ninety degrees in San Diego, and then after less than an hour of driving towards Julian, we hit snow. So of course, Jenn braved the cold and she and Joe threw snowballs in her cute summer dress. Then we bought doughnuts at the famous Julian apple pie shop, after which we stumbled upon what we swear was a human thigh bone in the woods. (Obviously, we’re all about romance here at Reams Photo). Jenn’s comment came right after someone yelled, “Femurs everywhere!”  Yup, totally weird (and awesome) day. Isn’t it cool that love looks just a beautiful on weird days?!

Then Amy proceeded to eat all of Jenn and Joe’s doughnuts. (PS- the apple cider donuts are incredible at the Julian Pie Co- dare I say better than the apple pie?)

Virginia Martinez - Sweet and wonderful photos as always! And your right about those Apple Cider donuts!

Joan - Amy I am coming to your defense…you did save one donut for your faithful babysitter and it was delicious! My favorite picture is the close up of the couple–so precious!
