Andrew and Jenna. The Rail.

A love story almost to good to be true, are you ready?! Jenna and Andrew only lived about 40 minutes away from each other yet meet each other two and a half hours away in St. Louis at the good old PBR bar at Cardinal nation. They are both smart people so they are both Cardinals fans of course! Jenna and Andrew met that night, hit it off like they knew each other for years, and fell in love…… Then she fell in love again…. when she met Will, Andrews awesome little person (Andrews son), Will looks just like his daddy, and is as sweet and smart as he is cute! Jenna was hooked!  Jenna is a genuine person, a true friend, and such a kind soul. I met Jenna about the same time she had met Andrew, through my sister Casandra (who is one of Jenna’s best friends), the way she talked about Andrew I thought they had been together forever, nope just met a couple of weeks before but they just knew! She just knew that he was the one, and from any woman’s point of view, he was the one, I mean Jenna’s a smart lady she was not going to let Andrew the tall, handsome, sweet, kind, amazing gentleman go! I would say she’s pretty lucky, but I don’t know which one is the luckiest, when I say perfect for each other, I mean it!! They deserve each other, nothing but the best!

 

I was SO happy and excited when Jenna asked me to be their photographer! What an amazing time it was capturing these two’s love at Busch Stadium for their engagement photos! So so so…so much fun!  They were true models that day so I knew they would have no problem on the wedding day, and I was right they were perfect! Jenna enjoyed her day, she was so laid back, calm, and just took it all in, she just couldn’t wait to marry her Booboo! My favorite time of their wedding day was when Jenna opened her amazing gift that Andrew got her and read her letter he wrote!

He did a great job! But Jenna had something up her sleeve too, she gave him a gift before hand as well, a watch that was engraved with a special saying….he didn’t even notice the saying engraved till Jenna told him at there “hide’ session before walking down the aisle, and when he read it he couldn’t hold back the tears…oh it just makes my heart so happy, see these two so happy together!

And the look on all of her best friends faces when they seen her all dolled up for the first time was allllllmost just as amazing! Jenna has some great, great friends, so great its like they are in a love movie of friendship! They were all so helpful leading up to her big day even though some were as far as California!

Their day was perfect, just like them 🙂  both Andrew and Jenna’s family did an amazing job planning and making this day happen. It was so beautiful! ever detail from the flowers to the signs to the custom photo selfie backdrop was (my favorite word) PERFECT! How blessed are they to have such an amazing family!

It was a dream, so perfect from the venue to the florist, just dreammmmy! I just want to wish the new Mr. and Mrs. Vortman the happiest of happiest future, filled with patience, kindness, and love! Thank you for letting me help celebrate your dream day and capture all of its beauty, you two are the best!
