Saturday was a hot day in Nashville, but it was still perfect for Shea and Brandon’s Church of the Assumption and Country Music Hall of Fame wedding! We’re excited to share a few of our favorites with you all today! Shea and Brandon met at Vanderbilt, and love spending time together outdoors. They had a long engagement, and I know it was so surreal for them for the day to actually be here! They have both a traditional and a fun side, which was reflected perfectly in their venues. Church of the Assumption in Germantown was a gorgeous setting for their meaningful and traditional ceremony, and then everyone headed downtown for a killer reception (complete with epic 90s cover band!) at the Country Music Hall of Fame! Everyone had such a wonderful time, and I love seeing how truly happy all of their friends and family were to be there celebrating with them.

On to some of our favorites of the 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
