“The miracle is this – the more we share, the more we have.” – Leonard Nimoy
Jess first laid eyes on Bob in 2007 and she was instantly smitten. After gently “stalking” (her words!) him for a few months she finally asked him out. Jess knew Bob was the one for her when on their third date Bob brought her a mango - because he couldn’t find any flowers – and she loves mangos! A little over three years later on a picture perfect day in May Jess and Bob exchanged vows at Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, MA in front of 220 friends and family. The ceremony was everything they had planned and hoped for a celebration of life and love with the people who mean the most to them:)
When Jess and I spoke about her wedding images she said she wanted the images to show how much fun they have together and how happy they are to have found each other….so sweet! I believe I have done that request justice….
