“I moved from PA to Des Moines Iowa the summer of 2007 to attend medical school. I was very reluctant to go to the “pre-orientation” activites but I went one day to a photo scavenger hunt around Des Moines. While we were waiting to split up into teams, everyone was talking about where they were from, most people were from Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, then I heard someone say, “I’m from Erie Pennsylvania….” “I’m from Pennsylvania, too! Why on earth would you move out here? There’s a medical school in your home town!!” At that point we ended up on the same team because we were talking endlessly and to the exclusion of everone around us, about Pennsylvania. Our team used my camera and I still have pictures of the two of us together on the first day we met!
A few days later when the true orientation began, I recognized him sitting in the lecutre hall all alone. “Can I join you?” “Well sure, but you know these friendships formed durng orientation NEVER last.” I still remind him that he said that, things seem to have lasted :)” -Jessica
When I arrived, she was so chill….so calm and the whole atmosphere was relaxing….that is so out of the ordinary! I’m so use to organized chaos on a wedding day…it was awesome! Plus her parent’s home was nestled back in the woods and all the leaves were changing…it was very serene!
A few of the details. I loved the vintage feel.
She has the most amazing long hair..and yes it’s all hers! I love it when brides leave their heir loose on their wedding day…it feels so much more romantic and less 1980’s prom.
Seriously! This is her getting her gown laced up in front of the stone fireplace/wall that was built by her dad and grandfather! <e
…and let’s talk about this car!!!! This is Jessica’s Grandfather’s car..and I’m told that it holds a very special place in his heart because it was his very first car.
……..seriously…….S.E.R.I.O.U.S.L.Y!!!!
OH THAT?! That’s just the ring that James picked out ALL.BY.HIM.SELF!
Just a few vintage’esqu inspired portraits.
Just wait till you see tomorrow’s blog!!! <3 <3
