When WED got a call from a groom named Jake and he began to tell us a little bit about himself, Ellen looked over at me and said, “These are your people, go for it!”

It’s just so true… Jake and Kris and pretty much my peeps insomuch that I find them both to be fascinating and wonderful and doing all of the things I kind of dream about doing in another life– leading a top-notch metal band, starting a non-profit and using their fame to help others instead of build up themselves. And of my gosh, how much these two loved one another. You could see it pretty obviously at their engagement shoot and even more so in the planning and on the wedding day. These two were made to be with one another and they embrace life together so beautifully. Even if you don’t read the rest of this blog, check out Jake and Kris’ work with Heart Support here!

As you can imagine their tastes were spot on with the things I am loving right now– a little bit vintage, a little bit industrial, a little bit rocker and overall romantic and lovely. We did the flowers in house and enlisted top-notch vendors and talent like Boone Hall Plantation, Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal, Granville’s Catering, Snyder Rentals, OOH Lounge Rentals, and Technical Event Company to create really a hauntingly magical space at Boone Hall.

THANK GOODNESS they also enlisted the help of the amazing, amazing (any hysterical) Tim Willhouby and his gorgeous wife Sarah of TimWill Photography to document the day…. every photo is perfection.

Take a look:

Jake and Kris, we love you guys! We were honored and thrilled to work with you both and can’t wait to keep hearing about the amazing things you’ll do in life together….
