True Story Follows: Jessy set an appointment to meet with us while Ryan was out of town with work. We set the appointment 2 weeks in advance and the day of the appointment, 5 minutes before we were supposed to meet, our phone rings. It went something like this:

JESSY: "Hi Mr. Perry, this is Jessy. I was supposed to meet with you in like 5 minutes, but I gotta tell you, I just got in an accident and wanted to see if we could reschedule because I don't want you to have to wait on me."  
ME: "Jessy, are you OK? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry, of course we can reschedule, that is not even important; where are you right now?"
JESSY: "I'm on Huntington Ave and 59th Street"
ME: "Jessy - that's right in front of our studio!"
JESSY: "I know, but I didn't want to bother you."

Needless to say, I went out the door running and sure enough, she's been in a small accident 20 seconds from our studio - enough to ruin most anyone's day. But not Jessy's. After all the police stuff was done, she climbed over her passenger's seat (drivers side door was completely smashed in) and was ready to drive it to the body shop. I looked at her through the window and shouted "sweetie, do you want me to drive your car to the shop for you?" And I'll never forget her face as she looked up at me with adoring eyes, nodded and said "would you mind?"

So Deb and Jessy followed me in Jessy's busted up car as we drove it to the body shop. The most awesome part? When she came out of the body shop, without missing a beat and said "OK... you guys still want to get together and talk wedding stuff?" BOOM! What do you think we said? 

From the second we saw her composure with the police and the other driver, we immediately fell in love with her & her smile, but most of all, her heart. And she's a special needs teacher too (amazing). Judging from the time we've had with her thus far, we gotta say we KNOW she's a rock-star to her kids and it's super easy to understand why Ryan fell in love with her too.

So stay in touch because their wedding is in October 2015 and you don't want to miss this one.

Here are a few of our favorites from their Smithfield Engagement Session - let us know what you think.
