Jill and Brad just have this way about them.  It’s the way they look at each other.  The way he holds her hand.  The way she gives him a little extra squeeze.  The way they care for their family and friends, and the way that they delight the little things in life.

We have been in love with Jill and Brad since their engagement session, (see the video here), and we’ve been excitedly anticipating their wedding day ever since.  And let me tell you, it did not disappoint with personal style, good food, good music, a gorgeous location, and a couple just so obviously in love.  Jill and Brad wanted to do things their way, starting off with Jill’s decision to wear a fabulous red dress.  I mean, after seeing her in red, would you dare question this decision?  Me neither.  🙂

Jill and Brad filled their wedding with touches of themselves, from Brad’s Converse Sneakers, to a serenade by Jill’s Dad’s Barbershop Quartet, Let’s Sing, their amazing home-brewed beer, gorgeous sunflowers, live bluegrass by the Kodiak Farm Boys and O.M.G. the BEST BBQ EVER.  Yes, they had dinner catered by Smoque BBQ, and it was to-die-for.  YUMMMM.

And can I say how much I looooved the Danada House?  We love historic mansions for their charm and character, and interesting places to photograph, and Danada House had everything.  A lovely getting-ready room for the couple, horse pastures, a lovely BARN, beautiful gardens, and a beautiful, newly-constructed atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows.  Seriously, I’m in love.

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day, Jill and Brad!  Seriously, it was such a treat!
