Jamie+Gary-We’re Better Together

Jamie is SO near and dear to my heart. I have known her since we were in middle school, and although she is a year younger than I am, I’ve always looked up to her. She marches to the beat of her own drum, she is brave, creative, and the strongest young women I know. You may remember Jamie, and her ADORABLE son Asher (who is sure to steal the show) from Asher’s one year portraits. (https://kellyginnphotography.com/asher-1-year/)

When Jamie told me that she knew she would be getting engaged soon I was tickled pink. When she asked ME to shoot her wedding, I could have cried. I had never met Gary, but as soon as I did, I knew instantly why Jamie was head over heels in love with him.

Gary is SO calm, such a good listener, and compliments Jamie in every way possible. When I asked these love birds how they met, I was surprised to hear the story. Gary was a patient at the chiropractic office that Jamie works for. She had noticed him several times, and he obviously noticed her (I mean HELLO, Jamie is breathtakingly beautiful). When he would come in for his appointments, Jamie’s co-workers would give her a hard time because she would get all flustered and turn red. How adorable. He finally worked up the nerve to ask her out, and well, you know the rest.

Gary is SO kind, and so sweet that during their engagement session he literally let me call him GARRETT for the first hour. (I WAS MORTIFIED.) Of course J&G and John thought it was hilarious. Fortunately it provided for natural laughter, and as Jamie said “no need for fake laughter today.”

Gary’s property is on a lake with a GORGEOUS dock. Like us, J&G and sweet handsome Asher LOVE dogs. (For the record, John and I are convinced that if you DON’T like dogs, then you probably don’t have a soul, and that’s a fact, Jack.) Mave and Darbie joined us for the shoot and they were both delightful. Dogs are SUCH an important part of our lives, and I wished Tebow (our fluffy golden) would have been included in our engagement/wedding.

Jamie and Gary are getting married THIS September, and of course, we are honored as ever that WE get to be there to document it.

J&G you two deserve each other. I am so ecstatic that you found each other, and that you are crazy about each other. Can’t wait to see what adventures your marriage takes you on!

Enjoy.

My, my. Asher is SUCH a big boy now.

When you have a boog, you have a boog.

Gary did one amazing job!

Almost every engagement session I do, the bride to be will request a ‘piggy back’ pic. I much prefer this.

One of my faves.

Congrats you guys!
