There’s so much I could say about these two, and yet it’s almost hard to put it into words. Bret and Courtney are enduring. They are each other’s strength and joy and are genuinely better people together. These two understand what matters and cling to that. This day was such a beautiful, tender, and refreshing gift because Bret and Courtney exude kindness in every possible way. I truly couldn’t be happier for these incredible people and I know without a shadow of a doubt that they will be world shakers as husband and wife. <3

Bret & Courtney – thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your story. Into tender, hard, and beautiful moments. Thanks for allowing me the gift of documenting such an incredible day. I adore y’all!

Much love,
Jessica
