Jess Barfield Photography

Gorgeous cakes, Garden Gate flowers, good friends, a Baylor crowd (therefore a dancing crowd), a ridiculously cool getaway car, a beautiful Stanley Korshak dress, coordinated by DFW Events... I could go on and on.  We had a BLAST at this reception at the Belo Mansion with so many wonderful people!  Everything was organized perfectly, which made for a seamless day of wonderful memories for Davis and Leanne and everyone in attendance. Enjoy a sample of a few reception pictures from this past weekend!  Davis and Leanne-- you have to know by now how highly I think of you both ... thank you for allowing me to photograph this incredibly special time in your lives. Love you both --  Jess REMEMBER: Leave a comment on this post (or the previous) and I will send you a link to the complete gallery in 4-5 weeks!

And check back tomorrow for the reception at the beautiful Belo Mansion!

I have yet to make a formal blog post about our wedding because I was waiting for our pictures to come in... and here they are! Yes, Blake and I were married on May 30, 2010 - hands down the best day of our lives.  So many incredible friends and family came to support us in Colorado Springs in the most beautiful place in the world, Glen Eyrie.  We were blown away by the graciousness and selflessness of our friends, who traveled from far and wide to celebrate with us.  The Lord's love was evident on that beautiful, clear Colorado day in the mountains. I could not have sweeter memories in my heart of the day I became Jessica Barfield.

(I apologize for my late posting of the reception! We took SO MANY pictures!!) As you can tell from Part I of this wedding, it was an absolutely gorgeous celebration.  It was a first for Susan and me for many things-- including the Hora dance, the signing of the Ketubah and the ceremony under the houppa. It was so wonderful to photograph these sacred events for this sweet couple! Thanks to everyone for making this such a memorable and FUN wedding!!
