Jess & Gary are the DEFINITION of happiness, and it’s infectious. I look at them and can only to hope to find what they have one day. I ask every couple how they met, and I never expected Jess & Gary to say that they met through jiu-jitsu!! How cool is that? They have got to be one of the most photogenic couples I’ve EVER photographed, and we had a blast playing around at the Botanical Gardens during their engagement session. Gary kept me laughing the entire time, and Jess’s outfits matched the pinks & purples in the garden so perfectly. They are straight MODELS, and I had the toughest time narrowing down favorites for this blog post. But I can’t look at these photos without smiling, so I had to share them with you:
