Tory and Tom kicked off our first wedding of the year for Jesie and I as a team. These two are both Air Force Academy grads and currently reside in California. Both are pilots (how awesome is that?) — Tory with the Air Force and Tom with the Navy. Neither are from Colorado so it was a very special event where nearly every guest traveled to witness their commit to each other.
Though Tory planned this wedding from a distance, what an incredible job she did. It was a super beautiful day, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Start with the most beautiful jewelry and furs I’ve ever seen, add in the most gorgeous wedding party you can imagine, the stunning Academy Chapel, and two people wildly in love and you have a day of pure joy that makes reality a distant dream.
Tory and Tom, I admire you two so much. You’re strong and passionate about what you do and who you are. Keep loving each other the way you do and thank you for serving our country.
xoxo,
René + Jesie
