Jessica and Patrick had their wedding in Gilroy at St. Mary’s Church and their wedding reception at the Gilroy Elks Lodge. Their wedding ceremony was full laughter and excitement, while tears flowed after the ceremony on the steps of the church, serenaded by a beautiful Mariachi band! Jessica says she has been planning her wedding since before she met Patrick, her dream wedding being one that is Tim Burton themed with her Mexican heritage incorporated. She was able to pull off a beautifully designed wedding that fit her dream perfectly! It was so fun to see something unique and different! Jessica looked so beautiful in her cathedral veil and lace gown, while Patrick and the guys had their black and silver attire. From the cute little flower girls to their candied apple favors, their wedding is full of unique and inspiring detail!

Their wedding was so fun and I couldn’t be happier for the two of them! Thank you for having me as a part of your special day Jessica and Patrick!!! XOXO

BIGGEST shoutout to Jehn Buchanan for second shooting with me. Since Zach couldn’t make it because his brother was getting married in Kansas, Jehn stepped in. She’s the wife of a colleague of mine and she rocks!

I loved these special pictures of Patrick and their son, Gabriel, getting ready for the big day!

Jessica’s flowers were *stunning*! I love tree hanging dress shots!

In their getaway car were two hats, one of them belonged to Jessica’s grandfather who has passed away. I loved their detail of incorporating him, as I have lost my closest grandfather and appreciate the sentiment!

Hey, there’s me! :)

I have so many favorite shots from their wedding ceremony at Saint Mary’s in Gilroy!

P’s face! LOVE!

Father Dan is hilarious.

Beautiful Mariachi band!

BRIDESMAIDS! Get it?

Coolest cake, ever. Thanks Ayme from Jen’s Cakes!

Stunning birdcage veil for her wedding reception at the Gilroy Elk’s Lodge!

LOVE these seat covers and chivari chairs!

Tequila shot at entrance? Badass. Check.
