The Loyston

Wedding Day

Norris Lake is a very special place for Michael and Jess. Not only do they take an annual trip down there with Jess' family, but the lake is also where Michael asked Jess' parents for her hand in marriage. Growing up, Jess had always dreamed of having her wedding at her favorite place in the world. Her dream is finally coming true. They can't wait to share a beautiful lake weekend with you!

Why Norris Lake in Tennessee?

Our Wedding

Michael and Jess met through mutual friend groups during a night out on the town. The connection was instant, but a relationship wasn't in the cards. Michael was in school at NKU, and Jess was away at Georgetown College. A year and a half later, the pieces finally fell into place, and Jess let Michael take her on a date. The rest is history...
