Real Weddings is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary and in honor of this milestone, we are checking back in with our beautiful cover models! We’ve been so lucky to work with over 60 local brides these past 10 years and we’re eager to see where they are now.
Jessica (right) graced our Winter/Spring 2012 cover shot at The Delta King by Love at First Click Photography.
When did you get married?
We got married May 12, 2012 with the ceremony at the rose garden in Sacramento’s Capitol Park and reception at the Citizen Hotel.
Any children (fur or human)?
We have two bengal kitties, and a beautiful baby girl named Sophie May who just turned seven months. We have had a long, difficult and heartbreaking road to get a baby so she is our little miracle that we couldn’t be more in love with!
What do you do for a living?
I am a hairstylist.
What do you enjoy doing with your family?
As long as we are together I am a happy camper! We love going for walks, out to dinner, but mostly just spending time together just the three of us!
Knowing what you now know, what advice would you give yourself on your wedding day?
To take deep breathes and soak it all in. It goes by so fast that you forget to take it all in and enjoy the moment.
Lastly, how was your Cover Model experience?
AMAZING…I loved it! It was so much fun and was a great experience!
