Happy Saturday, everyone!

Today we are so excited to be sharing some of our favorite images from Katie and Joe’s intimate Nashville wedding last month at St. Augustine’s Chapel on the campus of Vanderbilt University, and their dinner party reception at Park Cafe! Scrolling through these images brings me so much joy–Katie and Joe and their families and friends just radiated joy and emotion throughout the whole day. Their intentional and relaxed approach to life showed so clearly and beautifully in their wedding celebration. It was such a big weekend for them, because not only did they get married, but they also graduated from med school at Vanderbilt, and a few days after the wedding, headed to the west coast to begin their residencies! These two are an incredible support for each other, and the way they laugh together and love together is truly inspiring. Their sweet and emotional ceremony in the beautiful chapel was full of personal touches and words and music from family and friends, and their dinner reception was such a fun time of celebration and emotion-filled toasts and sweet moments!

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
