If you missed Kennedy and Jordan’s Engagement Session along with some of their story, you might want to check that out first! Kennedy and Jordan enjoyed an intimate wedding ceremony at Kennedy’s charming childhood home followed by a reception at Hayward House American Bistro in downtown Tallahassee.

It’s a blessing to become friends with clients while we work closely together leading up to their wedding, but in this case, we started out that way on the front end! Play dates with our littles, girl nights discussing our favorite books (hello Emma Lion…).

After praying for Jordan and Kennedy in every stage of their blossoming relationship, getting to be their wedding photographer was a full circle moment.

Ask anyone in their families and you’d hear a similar sentiment - they pair so well together! God’s sovereignty in their story was evident in so many ways, and this wedding was a celebration of God’s work of redemption in both their lives.

Many prayers by those who love and care for them led to this special day; the official first day of their family.

Psalm 145 seems a fitting tribute to our great God, who poured out his blessing of marriage on these dear friends.

Great Is the Lord

A Song of Praise. Of David.

145 I will extol you, my God and King,
    and bless your name forever and ever.
2 Every day I will bless you
    and praise your name forever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
    and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall commend your works to another,
    and shall declare your mighty acts.
5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
    and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 The Lord is good to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
    and all your saints shall bless you!
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
    and tell of your power,
12 to make known to the children of man your[b] mighty deeds,
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words
    and kind in all his works.][c]
14 The Lord upholds all who are falling
    and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food in due season.
16 You open your hand;
    you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and kind in all his works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
    he also hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord preserves all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.
