Janelle Mott and Jason Hudson March 24, 2018

I

love our love story! I had known Janelle as an acquaintance for almost eight years. In the spring of 2017, I tried to flirt with her a little bit.

I am a professional photographer and I asked if I could take pictures of her and her daughter. I thought maybe that would be a good “in� with her. She did message me back quickly, but she kept it very professional. So I decided I had no game and I let it go.

Then in July, I got a Facebook message from her. I was so excited! We messaged back and forth into the wee hours of the morning. I had finally gotten up the courage to ask her out and we met up the next night, and we have been together ever since. The chemistry and connection we have is truly amazing. We both had such a strong desire to be a true supportive partner to each other. I love that she has my back always.

Now, about our wedding! Working in the industry for 20 years, I knew a thing or two about weddings! Combining Janelle’s excellent style and taste with my planning ability, made for a beautiful and fun wedding day!

There were certain things she wanted (like a string quartet), and there were things I wanted (like the light up dance floor, the fun photo booth from Brightbooths, and a fun DJ). The Ravington was the perfect choice for the reception, plus we were able to get ready there since they have separate dressing areas. Hunt Chapel was the location for our gorgeous ceremony.

One unique thing about our ceremony is that our children were our wedding party. My son Shiloh was the ringbearer, my daughter Amelia was the sole bridesmaid, and my daughter Norah and Janelle’s daughter Alexa were the flower girls. The ceremony went by like a blur.

We left as husband and wife and headed back to The Ravington for our reception!

One of the highlights for us was our wedding cake from Cakes by Robbin. I can’t tell you how many guests said that was the best wedding cake they’ve ever tasted! We danced the night away and then left to enjoy a very relaxing and much needed honeymoon!
