It has been an unusually rainy and chilly spring here in Nashville, but I have to say that our couples are wonderful about not letting it get them down on their big day! Olivia and Robert were no exception, and in fact, Olivia changed their first dance song to “I Wish it Would Rain” by the Temptations at the last minute! So awesome 🙂 Olivia and Robert are so sweet, and it’s been so fun to get to know them! Nashville has been a big part of their relationship, since that’s where they met and got engaged, and their reception was filled with super fun, southern, Nashville touches! One thing I love about our couples this year, especially Olivia and Robert, is that the most important thing about their wedding day (other than getting married, of course 😉 ) is just to spend time celebrating with all the people they love. Their friends and family are so important to them, which was so evident throughout the day!

Looking for brunch wedding inspiration in Nashville? Here are some of our favorites from Saturday!

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
