This lovely wedding truly touched the hearts of everyone who was there to celebrate. Jessica and Henry started the celebration in Paris, France a week prior with 27 of their family and friends. The week came to an end with the sharing of vows followed by a full day celebration. Please believe me when I saw, I have no idea where to begin writing about this fantastic wedding. The day began early with the gents getting ready in one apartment, the girls in another. They rode separately to the Montebello Yacht, which they had reserved for their ceremony and a cocktail hour that immediately followed. If it wasn’t for the photos, I would think the day had been a dream. From the toasts, to the dancing, laughter, there are so many memories I know their family and friends will cherish forever.

The view from the boat before leaving the dock on the Seine River. Jessica and Henry couldn’t have picked a better day or location to get married, the view down the river is incredible.
Immediately following the ceremony they had a cocktail reception as the yacht made its way up and down the river. Family and friends could not have been happier for these two.
A tradition in Paris is to attach a lock with your name inscribed and the date, attach it to a bridge and toss the key in the river to symbolize everlasting love. Jessica and Henry gave everyone a lock so they could partake in the tradition.
A dinner reception was held at Café de la Paix which is located right next to the beautiful Paris Opera House.
They opted to have a Croquembouche (traditional French wedding cake) shaped like the Eiffel Tower.
The party ended at a nearby pub, Footsie where they continued to dance the night away.
Phew, I know this was a long post! What is your favorite image? I had too many…
Congratulations to the Mr. and Mrs.!
