Hello, everyone!

This is the week for gorgeous fall sessions on the blog, and we are excited to share Melissa and Dustin’s Arrington Vineyards engagement session with you today! We had such a great time hanging out with these two in Franklin and at Arrington, and it was great to spend some time with them in person since we had only chatted via Skype so far! Melissa and Dustin currently live in Dallas (with their English Mastiff), but will be getting married in Nashville, where they met. They worked for the same company, and both started out in Colorado–Melissa’s home state, and where Dustin landed after an epic adventure of a road trip. They both were moved to Nashville, where they finally ended up meeting! They both love sports, love to travel, and are always up for an adventure (which of course, we love!).

These two are so in love, and love to laugh together! My favorite sessions are ones where our couples are just hanging out, enjoying each other’s company, while we happen to be there to capture it. And Melissa and Dustin were great at that! Melissa says one of the things she loves most about Dustin is his kind heart, and how caring he is. It’s easy to see how much he loves and cares for Melissa! They are truly excited for their marriage, not just the wedding day, which is so sweet to see!

Here are a few of our favorite images! How stylish are these two?!

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
