‘Tis the season…for family, for magic. For Christmas tree hunting and hot cocoa. Last week, our friend Krystal (who also was our wedding photographer!), asked if we could document her family’s trip to the Christmas tree farm to pick out their Christmas tree! We had such a good time with them, and it was so awesome to see Christmas through the eyes of their two sweet kids.

Documenting your holiday traditions is the gift that will keep on giving for decades to come. What holiday traditions do you want to remember in your family?

Love this one so much!

Gotta love family time–a little goofy, a little sweet!

That’s the one!

Thanks for having us along, Krystal and family, we had so much fun! Can’t wait to see how the tree looks all decorated 🙂

Merry Christmas, all! We’ve officially wrapped up our shooting for the year, so we’re hoping to do a lot of catching up on blogging in the coming weeks, sharing some of our fall weddings and other fun things!

Have a great week!

    Very nice images on the fly. You took the Headshot of my little girl and son-law, am I correct and if so please tell me how to get a print. I’m really impressed with the shot. You people have good eyes. Now too check out the rest of your images.

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
