Hello everyone!

A few months ago we got an email from our friend Graham, one half of the fabulous photography duo The Scobeys. Their family was in the process of moving to Colorado, and Graham wanted to plan a surprise vow renewal for their 10 year anniversary. Graham and Ashley are two of the most encouraging people we’ve ever met, and we definitely wanted to be there to support them! So we planned the trip, and at the same time, also made plans to do some photos for them for their new website. Graham did all the vow renewal planning (with the help of friends, including the incredible Britain Lamon), friends made plans to come in, and we got to be a part of the diversionary tactics haha! We arrived in Colorado the day of the vow renewal, and after a few hours of hanging out (and Graham, Chris, and I anxiously pacing the house as we tried to get Ashley out to “scout photo locations” on time haha), we headed out under the pretense of taking some headshots and looking for a spot to do family photos. Totally worth it when we got to the mountain top spot Graham picked out and Ashley saw the group of friends and family waiting! The next day we all headed to Breckenridge and Loveland Pass to explore for the day before ending the day with some incredible pizza in Idaho Springs!

On to some photos from the adventures!

BEHIND THE LENS

A note from Jen

Purpose and passion and the lessons of over 17 years of weddings...

I'm writing this today staring out at the bright blue Colorado sky, near Boulder, CO where I live with my husband of nearly 17 years and our 8 year old son. We moved here to chase the mountains and adventure and a life fully lived, after over a decade in Nashville, TN. 

It might seem silly to say that I believe part of my purpose here on this earth is creating photos at people’s weddings. But here’s the thing. Life is absolutely going to life. There are going to be days and seasons that are freaking hard and awful and the world feels like it’s burning down (literally, metaphorically, in all the ways). And there are going to be days full of so much love and joy and bliss and peace that you wish you could just bottle it up for all time.

And I feel so strongly that that’s WHY a wedding matters. And why your photos matter. And why making it so intentional and purposeful to you matters. To create the space to intentionally create beautiful new memories together. Because it’s a weekend to say that this love (yes, all love) and these people (yes, all people) MATTER. It exists. It is real. And it’s worth celebrating the f*** out of. In a radical defiance of everything telling us to be scared and wall up our hearts.



And it’s worth documenting. My purpose in this is to be present with what’s there on your wedding day—all the joy, love, and whatever else is showing up—and creating the record of it. A record of what is true to you. So that when the days hit hard, you can point back at this anchor of joy and love, and know that it exists. It is real. It is worth celebrating.

Sending all the love, wherever this journey of life is meeting you today. xoxo, Jen
