Joselyn and Jorge’s wedding was a memorable one… and an emotional one too.

It was a gorgeous May day, as beautiful as they get. Joselyn and Jorge were soul mates, and anyone who knows them would agree. Joselyn spent the early part of the morning writing a note to her soon to be husband to go with a watch that was his surprise gift. The watch was engraved with “Always with you” and had a photo of them from their engagement session inside. Jorge is leaving for special forces training in a month, so the engraving was extra meaningful. Jorge’s best man handed him the watch and he cried and immediately texted Joselyn to tell her how much he loved it.

Inside the hotel room, Joselyn’s nieces watched Shrek, and had pillow fights, and colored in coloring books, and passed out on the bed while Joselyn helped her mother steam her dress.

Joselyn, with her hair and make up done and looking as beautiful as a movie star, was running late to her ceremony. Inside the church Jorge was nervous, and excited. The ceremony started an hour and a half late, but came together beautifully… and two soul mates were married.

After the ceremony we headed to Lake Shenendoah… a park where Jorge first confessed his love for Joselyn. The sunset was beautiful, and so were they.

At their reception Joselyn had another surprise for Jorge, she had a photo of his grandmother placed at their table. Jorge was very close to his grandmother and she had passed away before she could see him get married. He placed his food down and glanced over… once he noticed the picture he immediately collapsed, crying in his new wife’s arms.

The party was a blast. Everyone danced. Their families who had all stayed up late the night before to help decorate, showed no signs of slowing down and were on the dance floor all night.

We went outside for some night time portraits when the party ended, then they went to Puerto Rico for their honeymoon.

Congratulations to Joselyn and Jorge, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day, and thank you for your service to our country.
