summer Whiskey Factory wedding

Jen + Brandon’s summer Whiskey Factory wedding day was so special and was one I just couldn’t wait for. I love everything about these two and feel like I’ve known them forever! Their day was so full of love and even their puppy was Dog of Honor, which might be my favorite thing ever! So many amazing moments – scroll through to see! xo, e

Jennifer, Yoga Teacher & Healthcare Worker

Brandon, Industrial Supply Manager

Their wedding in 3 words: Bright, Industrial, Bliss

Jen’s favorite memory of the day:

Seeing my best friend at the end of the aisle, feeling all of the warmth and positivity from our beautiful family and friends around me as I walked toward him, and finally reaching Brandon’s hands, wholeheartedly ready to say “I do.”

Brandon’s favorite memory of the day:

The first look part of the wedding was my favorite memory. The second I got to see Jen on the rooftop of The Whiskey Factory was a moment I will never forget and will always bring me joy. There will never be a woman more beautiful to me than her. Runner up (despite being the stereotypical response) would be the actual ceremony, seeing her walk down the isle and getting to say ” I do” to my best friend.

Wedding planning advice for newly engaged couples:

Do what makes you happy and stick to your vision, ultimately, your loved ones will always come to support your decisions. Remain patient and forgiving, not only with each other, but with your family, friends, and everyone helping. If you assemble a solid team, you’ll have the best day.

From Jen: “We lost Brandon’s mom, Sue, on August 3rd (just 3 weeks after the wedding). She fell ill only a few days following our wedding, that day was a lot of our last memories of her. Although we’re distraught and heartbroken over the situation, we take solace in the fact that some of her last days were filled with family, love and joy. Sue is loved and missed by all, but mostly so by her four boys and her husband Steve.”

My heart is so broken for you both and your family. Sending so much love and healing your way.
