val & jacob, an intimate wedding at the El Rey

i don’t know that there’s a better fit than valerie in new mexico—her love for dramatic sleeves and the white billowy clouds that constantly loom overhead during monsoon season.

and so it was true of everything that took place. a well matched, perfectly placed, fit.

Jacob’s words to Valerie and Valerie’s words to JAcob.
their promises and reminders and quiet looks toward each other.

after a long two year wait, the joy was overwhelming.

to see it come to fruition—the long tables dressed in white linens, the shadows that the lolling flowers cast across the plates and letter-pressed menus, the benches wrapped in gauze that sat before vows and atop history.

her hand in his as they jumped wildly into the pool. under a sky full of stars and a crowd of cheering friends recording with their iphones.

his marveling and gentle words as he saw her in her dress for the first time.

teamwork makes the dream work.
