Happy Friday, everyone! Angelynn and Ryan’s Bridge Building wedding in Nashville, TN a few weeks ago was an absolute joy, and the kind of beautiful day that reminds you of all the best parts of living in this city! Angelynn and Ryan met online, but they really met because Ryan was in town working in construction, on one of the high rise buildings going up downtown. These two both have such amazing stories, and it is so beautiful to see how they’ve truly found each other after going through so much. I loved that they were so incredibly excited to have all of their people all in one place to celebrate, and to show off the vibe of this city they’ve come to love so much.

They picked the perfect venue to show off that vibe, and they were surrounded by so much love and support from their friends and family throughout the day! After the ceremony we were greeted by the most gorgeous sunset and the kind of incredible light we only rarely see here. Angelynn and Ryan joined their guests for a sunset toast before dancing and partying the night away! They also had a friend who did an abstract performance painting of the evening, which was so inspiring to watch as it progressed. So fun!

We’re excited to share some of our favorite moments of the day! Keep scrolling to see more:

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
