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

This was an extra special session for me – this guy here is my little brother and he’s getting married next year!!!  I’m super excited for the two of them and I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in August.  It’s going to be beautiful!  I’m so glad he found someone as awesome as Nissa – the girls in my family have already bonded with her and she feels like a sister to us already!  We love her bunches and all of us can’t wait for her to officially join our family.  

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.

Jesse and Becky had a GORGEOUS wedding at the Monticello Hotel here in Longview.  I adored the way they decorated the  ballroom there – I worked at the hotel as a teenager waitressing and I can honestly say I’ve never seen it done up this nice  before.  It was perfect!  The couple was great to work with, especially Becky – she was so laid back and relaxed her entire day, it was a joy to be around her!   Pre-ceremony I took them down to the lake in Longview for their couple and group photos.  I was so glad for sunshine – it made the photos just sparkle.  :-)

I have to give a huge thank you my friend and fellow photographer Elena for helping me out – some of the photos below are from her and she did an awesome job!  Thank you Elena, and thank you Jesse and Becky for having me as your photographer!

And my favorite of the day :

I spent most of the day yesterday photographing an absolutely gorgeous wedding in downtown Vancouver WA.  I’m still in the middle up uploading all of their images to my computer, but as I was uploading this image just jumped out to me and I knew I had to quickly post it before I get caught up in work this week.

She has such a classic beauty…….

Last month I spent a lot of time putting together some wedding slideshows for a few of the bridal fairs I was going to be a part of.  The bridal fairs went AWESOME – I got lots of bookings and some great leads, but my slideshows were just left sitting on my computer afterwards.  So…..I decided I might as well get some use out of these, I was so happy with how they turned out and it just seemed a waste to leave them sitting all lonely on my  hard drive, so here I am sharing one with you!  More to come and feedback is always appreciated!
