Christen's mom booked me over the internet, and I love it when I click with clients I've never met before. (As a side note, this is part of why I blog: people get a better sense of my personality.  If you are the type of person who gets annoyed with smiley, outgoing redheads, then we're probably not going to be a good fit.  :) )

The minute I met Christen, I was totally jonesing for her make-up selections.  Her complexion is similar to mine.  Gotta love freckles, especially Jay's.  I foresee freckled children in their future (should they decide to have some).

The entire day was so easy and fun, especially the wedding party. They wanted a jumping shot, which I never ask for from my wedding couples but if they request it, I'm happy to oblige. I have to admit, I really love how high some of them jumped. Amazing.

My favorite part of the reception was when Christen and Jay gave an impromptu toast and talked about wonderful it was to be surrounded about everyone who loves and supports them. They didn't want the night to end. This is exactly how I felt on my own wedding day.

Christen and Jay, I hope through these photos that the memories of your wedding never fade.

Cheers!
