Hello, everyone!

We are so excited today to be sharing our first wedding of 2014! Yay! Jessica and Jon’s wedding, which took place at her parents home in Brentwood, TN, was absolutely perfect. I love the intimacy that happens with a backyard wedding, and all the special touches and extra love that goes into having a wedding at home. So awesome!

One of the things I noticed most about Jessica and Jon on their wedding day was how much they love to laugh together. These two are just so sweet, and really took in every moment of celebrating with friends and family on their wedding day! They love spending time together, and being outdoors (Jon proposed while on a hike at Fall Creek Falls!), walking their dogs, and trying out new restaurants. A crazy weather forecast for Saturday had us watching the skies most of the day, but the rain held off until the reception was well under way, and didn’t even begin to put a damper on the amazing party!

Here’s a few of our favorite images from Jessica and Jon’s classic wedding!

Congratulations, Jessica and Jon! Thank you so much for inviting us to celebrate with you, and for helping us kick off 2014 in an amazing way! You all are awesome! Have an amazing time in Italy!

A huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make Jessica and Jon’s wedding day perfect, especially to Jessica’s parents for hosting everyone! The beautiful flowers were by Branching Out, the catering was by McConnell’s Catering, rentals by Liberty Party Rentals, and the gorgeous (and delicious!) cakes were by Dulce Desserts. Jessica’s dress was from The White Room, shoes by Jimmy Choo, and hair and make up by Artistry Salon and Spa. And last but not least, the band, Pink Cadillac, was amazing!

Thank you all for stopping by the blog! Hope you’re having a great day!

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
