Happy Tuesday, everyone!

So seriously, how perfect of a fall weekend was last weekend? We had gorgeous weather and the fall color was in full glory for Jessica and Eric’s CJ’s off the Square wedding, and we were so happy to celebrate with them! We got to know Jessica and Eric during their NYC engagement session, and were excited for them to come to Franklin with all their friends and family. Jessica and Eric came to town the weekend before, and got to enjoy all the awesome downtown Franklin had to offer leading up to the wedding (including the Frothy Monkey–my favorite)!

I love how Jessica and Eric truly enjoy each other’s company, and love spending time together and experiencing all life has to offer. When we arrived for getting ready photos, Jessica was experiencing some slight pre-wedding jitters. Not about getting married, but because she so couldn’t wait to see her best friend! Jessica told me they having a saying: “I’m marrying my best friend and the one I love. He/she is the one I run to first whether I have good news or bad, because they are the person I want to rejoice with, but find comfort with when times are bad.” All day they were both just so excited to spend time with each other–best friends, in love, getting married, surrounded by all the friends and family who love them most. It couldn’t have been more perfect! Their intimate garden ceremony took place right at sunset, and was followed by a killer dance party of a reception!

These are a few of our favorite images from Jessica and Eric’s wedding!

Sergeant the English bulldog traveled with Jessica and Eric all the way from New York to be the ring bearer, so we of course had to include him in some photos!

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
