You know those people in your life where you sincerely, deeply wish the absolute best for them? The ones that just get your heart? What a privilege it was for me to photograph the wedding of one of those very special people in my life. Jenna was my very first friend in high school. She was a year older than me and even though I was a little freshman, she swooped me up and we never looked back! I look at Jenna and see years of growth, trials, experiences, accomplishments, and friendship. When I heard stories about the night Je and Ben met at their friend’s wedding, I could tell this was the real deal. When I saw Jenna and Ben together for the first time, I just couldn’t stop watching them. I watched Ben tenderly care for my friend, I watched Jenna look deeply into her new love’s eyes and most importantly, I watched them flow seamlessly and joyfully into a new life together. Young love, it’s the sweetest!! Jenna and Ben became Mr. and Mrs. Rogerson on a rainy, calm Friday in Lake Lure, North Carolina (thanks Hurricane Matthew – you couldn’t stop our party!). Their closest friends and family gathered at the 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa for a ceremony performed by their (hilarious) friend Grant and we all danced late into the night at the reception. I could literally go on and on about this sweet couple but I’ll let the pictures tell the story of their day. Enjoy!!
