A beautiful day, a lovely couple, and a venue on the lake; I don’t think you could dream up a more perfect wedding day here in Missouri! I had the amazing opportunity to capture Jessica and Michael’s day in Rocky Mount this past week and it was a pleasure to say the least. The day started with everyone set and ready to go, smiles beaming and tears starting to fall. Jessica looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress, ready for the first look to see her handsome groom. Michael waited on the dock and right before boats starting coming in for the afternoon these two finally had the chance to see each other on their special day!

The ceremony took place at Cross Point, a beautiful bluff top looking over the lake! As Jessica and Michael said I Do surrounded by family and friends, the celebrating began! I did have a moment to sneak off with the couple, and we found this beautiful stairway to a rocky shoreline by the lake. It was the perfect time for them to get away from the craziness that is any wedding day and enjoy being husband and wife. The day itself was perfect.

Congratulations Jessica and Michael, you two are just wonderful and I wish you so much happiness in your future together!
