Jillian & Tom

JILLIAN TELLS US THAT SHE AND TOM WERE FRIENDS FOR QUITE A WHILE BEFORE THEY BECAME PARTNERS. “WE BOTH SHARED A PASSION AND A CAREER IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO. WE STARTED A BUSINESS TOGETHER, SNAPPED STUDIOS. WE BEGAN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER WHILE CREATING, AND OUR FRIENDSHIP TURNED INTO THE BEST LOVE STORY!”

THERE’S SOMETHING SO SWEET ABOUT A COUPLE GETTING READY TOGETHER ON THE MORNING OF THEIR WEDDING! “WE WERE MARRIED SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME, IT WAS NICE TO SPEND THE MORNING GETTING READY TOGETHER IN OUR FIRST HOME AND CREATE SPECIAL MEMORIES,” JILLIAN SAYS. “WE READ OUR VOWS AGAIN AND WROTE A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ TO OUR GUESTS.”

JILLIAN DESCRIBES TOM’S PROPOSAL AS, “A DREAM COME TRUE! WE HAD SPENT THE DAY EXPLORING AND HIKING IN THE DESERT. TOM HAD PLANNED A PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT FOR NATALIE AND I JUST BEFORE SUNSET IN JOSHUA TREE. WE FOUND OUR WAY BACK TO THE FIRST SPOT WE EVER VISITED IN THE PARK AND WHEN WE GOT THERE, TOM PLAYED A VIDEO HE MADE FOR US. IT INCLUDED ALL OF OUR FAVORITE MEMORIES AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SWEETEST THING ANYONE HAD EVER DONE FOR US.”

JILLIAN’S ADVICE TO COUPLES PLANNING A WEDDING IS TO, “MAKE IT AN ADVENTURE! CREATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR SOUL AND OPEN YOUR HEART TO SHARING IT WITH THOSE YOU LOVE.”
