It’s another happy Friday, friends, and we’re so happy today to be sharing some of our favorite images from Jamie Claire and Wil’s backyard cabin wedding last weekend! Jamie Claire and Wil, who currently live in Austin, met because Wil was best friends with Jamie Claire’s sister’s husband. So it seems perfectly fitting that they were married on her sister’s beautiful lakeside property! Jamie Claire and Wil  love being together, laughing, and spending time with their dogs, and are both close to their families, especially their sweet nephews! Their wedding day was the perfect, relaxed, backyard summer BBQ kind of day, and after the sweet ceremony, guests had an amazing time hanging out among the trees with the fireflies. Pretty much everything summer is made of! Not to mention an appearance from the beloved duck who has adopted the family  😉 It was truly a family affair, and everyone worked so hard to make sure everything was picture perfect!

On to some of our favorite images!

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
