East Ivy Mansion | Mary’s Bridal Photos

January 31, 2017

Continuing on with recapping some of the sessions we didn’t have a chance to share the second half of last year, we’re excited to share Mary’s bridal session at East Ivy Mansion! Mary and Shaun were absolutely a dream to work with during their engagement and wedding. They are so sweet together, and we had the best time with them and their friends and family! Shortly before the wedding we met up with Mary and her mom (and her fantastic hair and makeup artist, Chadd!) in Nashville to create some images of Mary in her bridal gown. First, how freaking gorgeous is Mary? Second, I was completely in love with the movement of her dress. And East Ivy was such a gorgeous setting! Bridal sessions are such a sweet, southern tradition, and a great time way to stretch out the wedding day fun a bit, plus spend a little extra time with your mom or close friends!

On to a few of our favorites!

Mary-you are gorgeous, inside and out! Thank you so much for hanging out with us and giving us the opportunity to create for you!

Hope everyone is having a great week, and thanks for stopping by the blog!

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
