Cail and Jordan have been together since grade school.
Cail, your attention to detail…impeccable.
Beautiful Momma alert!
The kids in the background on the left. LOOK!
Love this!
Pockets…
Seriously, Cail, you are GORG!
Their idea. 🙂
Best MOH ever, right here! Future brides, she’s for rent if you are looking…
Wedding favorite…
Cail, THIS is why I love you!
Grandma didn’t leave the dance floor! She was SO much fun.
I wonder if she’s for rent, too. Could start a business. For rent, Grandma who is the life of the party.
Jordan put the garter on a football. The football said “You’re Next” on it. Awesome idea!
The dance floor was like this ALL NIGHT!
Fun foto booth!
And the last song, huge group circle around the newlyweds. Brought a tear to my eye, the emotion in the room was so special.
Congrats, Cail and Jordan. I wish you nothing but the very BEST. You both are beautiful souls and are going to thrive together. XOXO! Crystal Jo
Behind the scenes. Where all of the magic happens!
Faye, thanks for driving in from Dayton to second shoot with me. Your work is beautiful and I’m so very grateful we met years ago at BBMK workshop. XO, Momma!
I love it when people can get a little crazy in a tux. Be themselves. Be real. (Faye, in the reflection. :))
High fives for FUN people!
Jonah, you are a ball. Thanks for putting up with my bad jokes all day. JONAS BROTHER!

Their memories…
What was the most memorable moment of your day?
Cail: My most memorable moment of the day was probably standing in the doorway of the hotel with my dad getting ready to walk across the way to the Ballroom. My nerves REALLY kicked in and I could feel my heart beating in my stomach! As soon as I walked through the doors into the ceremony my nerves were totally gone and it was the most amazing realization that our day was finally here!
Jordan: Dancing with my beautiful bride to piano man while all of our friends gathered around us
What was your favorite detail?
Cail: My favorite detail of our wedding was the dancing at our reception. It was EXACTLY what I wanted and our guests had such a fun time! Everyone danced the night away and we all felt a little bummed when it came to an end!
Jordan: Nothing in particular. Every detail was perfect.
Any advice for future bride/grooms?
Cail: My advice for a future Bride would be to be proactive and not procrastinate! I am such a “planner” that doing things ahead of schedule just comes natural to me but it really did save me a lot of stress and money by getting things done as soon as possible! The week of the wedding was just final details so I was able to relax and get pampered the week leading up to our wedding! Also make sure everyone in your bridal party know’s exactlywhere to be at what time, because no matter how many time’s you tell them you’ll always have a few people go M.I.A!!
Jordan: Enjoy every minute. This is the only time this same group of people will ever be in a room together again.
If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
Cail: I don’t think I would have changed anything, except maybe extending our reception another hour longer (hahaha) the day really does fly by! It turned out beautifully though and it was such as great feeling to see all this time, effort, and planning come together in such an amazing celebration. We spent so much time on our honeymoon just reminiscing on our special day. It was perfect, and I can still barely wrap my mind around the fact that I’m married to my best friend!
Jordan: I would have paid the DJ until midnight
Where did you go on your honeymoon? We went to Jamaica. We stayed at Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios and absolutely LOVED IT! We were already talking about our second trip while on our honeymoon. I would highly recommend to any newlyweds looking for a fabulous vacation!
How was your experience with Crystal Jo Foto? Our experience with Crystal Jo Foto was awesome! We had fun while taking the pictures and our bridal party did too! She was great at getting the shot and then moving on so we didn’t feel like it was taking forever. I would highly recommend Crystal Jo Foto. She did our engagement pics as well and is highly talented and a blast to work with!!

There was a lot of beautiful pictures. The bride is beautiful. Jordan could not have picked a better person to marry. The pictures and the video that saw that his mother made was so nice and just perfect. I wish both of them happiness and a marriage that lasts for years and years. You could tell that hois mother loved him very much.
