We always say that doing a little something to get out of your comfort zone for your engagement has a big payoff! Lauren and Jonathan’s sunrise session at Cedarwood Weddings started off with waking up WAY early in the dark, but totally paid off with a gorgeous misty lake and some beautiful sunshine! It was a chilly morning (hard to believe it was only a few weeks ago as we stare down highs in the 90s today!), and Cedarwood’s Mooncake Lake was totally bringing the Pacific Northwest vibe–which was a perfect fit since Lauren and Jonathan first met in the PNW. Lauren and Jonathan met through work and started off as friends first (isn’t that the best?!). Last year, after spending their relationship long distance, they were looking for a place to move together, and decided on Nashville after visiting. And they love it here! They will be celebrating their wedding at Cedarwood later this year, and we are just so excited for them as they begin on this new adventure together!

These two are so sweet and just so genuinely enjoy each other, and are so full of joy. We had an incredible morning exploring Cedarwood with them, so keep scrolling to see some of our favorites!

Lauren and Jonathan–Congratulations! We are so excited for you all! And thanks for getting up so early to hang out with us  🙂  You guys are awesome!

Hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend! We are off to shoot a wedding this afternoon, so keep an eye out this week on our Facebook and Instagram for a sneak peek!

REAL – NATURAL – JOYFUL

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
