Jamie+Gary-Like Rain On Your Wedding Day

“It’s like RAIIINNNNNN on your wedding day.”

Ok, now we’re all singing it.

Remember these cuties? 

I thought about titling this post “When it rains, it pours” because on Jamie and Gary’s wedding day, it POURED. I’m talking, cats and dogs, with absolutely NO break. I’ve never seen a day in Memphis where it rained the ENTIRE day. September 20th, 2013- it just never stopped.

Jamie and Gary’s wedding ceremony and reception was to take place on Jamie’s parent’s property. They have the most beautiful home and backyard, it would have been the most amazing spot in Memphis. The weather had other plans. I’m sure early in the morning Jamie wondered how they would pull this off. Luckily for Jamie and Gary, Jamie has saints for parents. With the help of Jamie’s mom and dad, and brother, they were able to cover a portion of their back patio, where the ceremony took place. The three of them DID NOT STOP working for one minute. Mrs. Sonya, (Jamie’s mom) was out in the pouring rain all day, just ensuring that Jamie had the wedding of her dreams. Both Jamie’s dad, and brother Jacob were up on ladders, and even on the roof. All three together, they pulled it off and Jamie and Gary were able to say ‘I do,’ which is all that really matters.

Jamie was so calm the entire day. She was thankful for such an amazing family who stopped at NO expense for her. I now know why Jamie is so incredible, she was raised by the best of the best.

You will notice there are a few sunny images of Jamie and Gary included in this post. We did a day after session because every bride deserves sunny wedding day portraits, and they are some of my all time favorites!

Rain or no rain, nothing was going to stop fate. Jamie and Gary, you guys are amazing. Asher is lucky to have you both. We’re so happy for this new chapter in your life, and cannot wait to see what adventures marriage takes you on.

Enjoy.

One of my all time favorite dresses I’ve ever shot.

Mrs. Sonya has a heart of gold. Working in the rain.

Jamie said the initial plan was to have these gorgeous strung florals hanging from trees, although I must say, this was dreamy.

Jamie’s flowers were flawless.

JAMIE…..wowzers.

This ham right here.

I could go on and on for days about what an amazing mother Mrs. Sonya is, she reminds me so much of my mom!

Isn’t Jamie simply stunning?

I.LOVE.THIS.

Asher is a showstopper, and I’m ok with it.

So this is adorable.

Now this one gave me chills.

I’M ALL FOR a bride who is willing to sit in her dress.

Asher is so lucky to have you two as parents.

The 5 year old fairy princess inside me was SCREAMING. Who am I kidding? The 25 year old fairy princess inside me was screaming.

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Williams!
