There's so much to say about these pictures! I used to substitute for our local school district, and I remember the first day Alexis came into my class as a new student. I got to know her and her family at church and then as our neighbors. Later on, she started dating Jacob, whom we had watched grow up. (Side note: if you've ever had a Cave City Watermelon with a Patterson Brother's sticker, it could have very well been planted or picked by Jacob). Fast forward to 2025: Jacob and Alexis were supposed to get married at our church, but in March of this year, a tornado came through our little town and caused us to have to accept the reality that our church would not be available for the wedding due to so much devastation. (Yes, invitations had been purchased and vendors had been booked). Yet, in the midst of adversity, I've had the privilege of witnessing God's incredible plan unfold in and through their lives. I couldn't be more thrilled for Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Patterson!

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to an amazing group of vendors that were willing and able to move things around to make this day happen for Alexis and Jacob!
