Molly & Jesse || Kanawha State Forrest Wedding

We first met up for a consultation with Molly and Jesse in our downtown Charleston, WV studio and we instantly fell in love with their ideas for an engagement session where they met and a wedding in the WV mountains/Forrest filled with local food and entertainment.

Our journey continued on to their engagement session. And we couldn’t have been more impressed. I mean, when your couple shows up to their sunrise engagement session at 5:45 AM and are on their A+ game you know it’s going to be a good day! We had so much fun watching Molly and Jesse snuggle, laugh, dance, and model their way around downtown Charleston ending where they met, serving meals to others at Manna Meal located in Charleston, WV.

Fast forward two months later and it was their wedding day. After having a church ceremony and a toasting reception at their home church (which we hear was lovely), we met up with Molly and Jesse at Kanawha State Forrest for their formal portraits and family and friends centered reception. The afternoon was filled with good food, local music, and love. We could feel the joy and happiness surrounding Molly and Jesse during their reception and we believe everyone enjoyed the low key gathering atmosphere of the day.

Christie’s Favorite Moment of the Day: I love when couples incorporate family heirlooms into their wedding. And in my humble opinion Molly wins the 2019 award for best heirloom integration. Molly crafted her wedding veil from her mother’s wedding dress using the dress and a headband. Summer’s Favorite Moment of the Day:The Music. Molly and Jesse had local artist Dina Hornbaker play live throughout the reception.

Congratulations Molly & Jesse! We wish you many years of wedded bliss!
