Hello, everyone!

Coming together with your very favorite people to celebrate the start of your marriage, and honoring your family and friends–it’s what the most beautiful and meaningful wedding days are made of! Rachel and Will’s rainy day wedding at Historic Rock Castle was the epitome of meaningful wedding celebrations. These two are so joyful and fun together. They love to laugh and spend time together, and they love their families and friends. We got a glimpse into their amazing spirits with their adventure engagement session back in the fall, and it was so fun to see them with their people on their wedding day! A little rain wasn’t going to dampen the festivities! Talking to Rachel a little before the wedding, I was just struck by her joy, and how excited she was to marry Will, but also to have that day with their families. Rachel, an agriculture pro, pulled together all the incredible flowers (those proteas!!!!). The reception was a family affair, with family members contributing their signature desserts, a cake made by a family friend, and heirloom flower vases. And while the rain may have come early in the day, they were rewarded with the most stunning sunset over the lake as the evening came to a close!

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
