LOS ANGELES WEDDING | Jess + Johnathan

It all started in 2008. Jess was spotted on Johnathan’s MySpace top 8 and he thought to himself, “she’s cute”. Oddly enough at the same time this girl who was casually dating Johnathan was telling Jess she was seeing a guy who would be perfect for her! A few months later the two meet for the first time all thanks to this mutual connection. Their initial interaction was a casual hello and they went their separate ways, but by the time Jess got home she had a message from Johnathan on MySpace saying “cool meeting you earlier” which began a trend of late night chatting on MSN.

As time went on late night chatting on MSN, turned into texting, phone calls, and eventually spending time together. On Johnathan’s 20th birthday they shared their first kiss. The following day Johnathan made it official by asking Jess to be his girlfriend. Within a few months of sharing their first kiss they moved in together, added the cutest kitten Peach to their family, and began living life together.

Life took them on many adventures and through many trials. They ended up tying the knot and planning a wedding in 4 months at the age of 23. They moved from Sydney to LA for a once in a lifetime job opportunity for Johnathan. And began their lives as husband and wife. Now 10 years later on their 10 year wedding anniversary they wanted to throw a party to celebrate and invite their closest friends and family to partake in the celebration.

Johnathan and Jess said “I do” again at The Grass Room in Downtown LA. My associate photographer Paige captured their amazing day! The venue was the perfect backdrop for these two and embodied their personality so well. Fun, colorful, and funky! The Grass Room has such amazing colors and murals through out their space, and it was such an amazing day capturing special moment after special moment. Friends shared memories, enjoyed cocktails, and everyone in the room smiled as these two love birds couldn’t keep their eyes off each other throughout their ceremony.

The night ended with a special viewing of their wedding film from 10 years ago, a family style dinner, delicious cake, dancing, and more chatting as friends caught up with one another. What a special day celebrating two incredible people!
