Jon and Stephanie

The love between them has been growing for quite some time. Jon and Stephanie met just over four years ago at a church community group, and Jon’s intrigue was sparked… but it wasn’t until the wedding of a mutual friend, that led to their connection. Over these past years, Jon has grown to love her gentle heart and words of encouragement, and Stephanie deeply appreciates his humility and servant heart. What a beautiful testimony of their faith in Jesus lived out! And now, they finally got to say “I do” to a lifetime of love!

They have weathered many different highs & lows, coming out stronger and more committed on the other side. But when their wedding had to be canceled just 2 weeks before their big day (thanks to Covid-19), it was a huge disappointment. All those plans, all that work, the immense anticipation and excitement – all gone in a moment. And although nothing turned out the way they planned, they were amazed and so thankful to see God’s grace and provision for this beautiful alternative. Friends and family were so loving and supportive and put together a sweet & intimate backyard wedding. And of course, everyone else was able to witness it on the live-stream!

Dusty blue linen, cherry blossoms, sunshine, and SO MUCH JOY!!! The family drove in from out of town, friends decorated, and the bride looked stunning! After the ‘first look’, Jon’s smile was irreplaceable. Pastor Kenny shared about the source of their love, Jesus Christ and with his blessing, he pronounced them Mr. & Mrs. Muckey!

This little summer evening celebration was at a long family-style table with a yummy taco dinner, good conversation, lots of smiles, and delicious cake! And after saying goodbye, we snuck off with Jon and Stephanie to get some of these beautiful photos!

And don’t worry – the “Muckey Wedding Part 2” is still on its way, and they so look forward to celebrating with the rest of their friends and family! So stay tuned…

Jon and Stephanie, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your journey – we felt privileged to capture these moments with you!

!!Cheers to you!!
