David + Jesica | Meadowlark Botanical Gardens Wedding | Vienna Wedding Photographer

Friday, September 5 marked a truly special occasion. This was the day Jesica's dream of being wed in Vienna's picturesque Meadowlark Botanical Gardens came true, as she walked into the afternoon light with her mom & dad on each arm & made her way to where David stood waiting for her.

Earlier that afternoon as the bridesmaids had bustled around finishing their makeup & putting on their jewelery, Jesica was the picture of complete peace, calmly sitting, smiling, waiting until it was time to put her dress on. This regal stillness & patient demeanor is exemplified in David & Jesica's relationship together, as they sought to honor God through their time of dating, engagement & now on their wedding day.

The way David so sweetly cares for Jesica is a beautiful thing to witness & spending any time with the lovely couple will leave you with a sense of joy that is so deeply rooted in their faith in the Lord.

David + Jesica | Meadowlark Botanical Gardens Engagement Session

She dreamed of the day she'd put on her white gown, walk down the aisle & get married here one day. Throughout their months of dating, Jesica & David never visited the dreamy Meadowlark Botanical Gardens together.

That is, until the day that David proposed!!

You two are the sweetest couple! So excited for your fall wedding right back in same spot :)

Jesica's jade green dress - can we talk about how cool the color & the back of it is? They are so chic. I could've shot them all morning/afternoon!

Their heart for God & honoring Him with their relationship is so evident. Such special Scripture signs that David & Jesica DIYed just for their session!

The faith, hope & love are references to this verse in 1 Corinthians 13:13 where Paul is exhorting about what love is & isn't as well as the importance of it:

"And now these three remain: faith, hope & love. But the greatest of these is love."

Well said :)
