Jessica Lemmons Photography Blog, Longview Washington (Wa.) photographer.

James and Kerry were such a beautiful couple – I recently photographed their engagement session here.  It wasn’t to long after that that I got to photograph their wedding.  It was a beautiful catholic ceremony at the St. Mary’s Cathedral in Centralia.  My assistant Nate did an awesome job helping me capture their day.  We had a lot of fun!  One of my favorite parts of the day was when we got to shoot their formals at the local Olympic club, which is part of the McMinimans chain.  We got to use the theatre, bar, and pool hall for formals and we had loads of fun being creative with their photos.   Thank you so much James and Kerry for having us be a part of your day and blessings to you both in your new life together.

It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Shay’s senior photos.  Well…..she grew up!  Met a handsome young man who swept her off her feet and when he asked, she said yes!!!  I was honored to be a part of her special day.  With as many times as I’ve photographed her and members of her family, I almost felt like family at this wedding.  It was so gorgeous – these two were SOOOOO creative with all of their wedding details.   I had fun following her blog as she got ready for the big day and I was not disappointed at all!   These two were so in love…..in fact there was one moment towards the end of the day where Mike scooped Shay up to give her a kiss, tripped, fell, tackled Shay to the ground and in the process ripped her wedding dress a good 10 inches.  Most brides would have cried at the sight of their ripped dress….Shay burst out laughing and then kissed Mike while laying in the dirt and grass.   It was the cutest thing EVER.  :-)  And I’m not going to lie, both my second shooter Cindy (who did AMAZING btw!) and I both teared up several times during their ceremony.  We looked so funny sniffling and grinning in the back!

And lastly…..my favorite image of the day!  :-)

This family was so adorable – we did a mini-session back in May out at Willow Grove and I just love how these all turned out.   Thank you guys for having me as your photographer!  :-)

When Alex told me her vision for her session I couldn’t help but get excited – I LOVE anything vintage and it’s rare that I get a chance to photograph a session with a vintage twist.   Alex’s wardrobe (and her beauty!!!) is really what made this session perfect…..well, the setting was awesome too….but the wardrobe and Alex…I love it!  If I were rich, I would hire this girl to be my stylist.  :-) (Did I mention I LOVE vintagey things?).  So….being that her outfits were vintage, it was only proper that I give a few of these photos a vintage twist in the processing.

Thank you Alex for having me as your photographer!  I had a blast working with you.  :-)

I went out to the “C” family home last month for a family portrait session.  I was amazed by their GORGEOUS home on the Columbia River.  I had a blast with them….we even took some photos in their new bar which (like everything else in the home) was just beautiful!  Thank you guys for having me as your photographer!  I loved meeting you all!!
