Jesse & Ezra | Vega Lake Micro Wedding

Jesse & Ezra’s Vega Lake Micro Wedding was all about taking the traditions of a wedding they liked and letting all the rest go. They designed a day that reflected who they are as people, and the union of themselves into this marriage. I met up with the two of them at their vacation rental along Vega Lake on the side of the Grand Mesa – the 78 degree temperatures a welcome relief among the 100 degree days we’ve been having in Grand Junction. It’s so nice you can escape the heat within an hour’s drive from town!

Ezra had the most urbane emerald suit and fabulous dress shoes, complete with mismatched socks from the Awesome Socks Club (iykyk) and I have never felt more understood as I also never wear matching socks lol! Their mom helped them get dressed and put together the final details of their outfit. Jesse’s mom helped her into her dress, the tinsel in her hair perfectly glimmering in the sunlight like the waves on the lake in the distance.

They were walked out by their parents for the ceremony, led by a dear friend, and exchanged vows and rings before a handfasting ceremony. While their hands were tied together and Jesse couldn’t protest, Ezra had Sophie read a poem by E.E. Cummings. It is one of my favorite poems, and I’ll admit I teared up a bit!

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)
