Brooke + Jerard have been together for …. wait for it….13 YEARS! 🙂 They met in the year 1999 as freshmen in high school. Brooke asked Jerard to the Sadie-Hawkins Dance and have been together since.
It’s incredible to think that these high school sweethearts have already been through so much together; I have no doubt that they’ll be able to weather the storms of life and enjoy the special moments together in all the years to come!
Brooke + Jerard envisioned a modern, chic, and classic day for their wedding. They’re both very stylish and wanted a wedding that represented their personalities as well as their personal style. There were several large visual statements throughout the day, but the largest statement was the love they exchanged during the ceremony.
Brooke also incorporated several family heirlooms including her amethyst and diamond brooch, her grandmother’s pendant (which was transformed into her engagement ring) and her great great grandmother’s pearl rosary.
Etsy was Brooke’s “go-to” spot for unique details including her programs, favors, and signs. This was my first wedding photographed at Nottoway and I was overwhelmed with the beauty of their wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect and I feel honored to have been asked to photograph their wedding.
Also, I also couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to shoot with, so once again…thanks to Amelia for doing such an awesome job as my 2nd. She’s always there to capture a unique perspective that helps to fill the couple’s wedding gallery with memorable moments.
I’m so excited to share Brooke + Jerard’s Modern + Chic Nottoway Wedding.
