Happy New Year, everyone!

We hope you all are having a great start to 2017! After some much needed rest over the holidays, we’re excited to be back to planning for a new year, and can’t wait for all the fantastic weddings we get to document this year! We also wanted to go back and share a few engagement sessions from the second half of 2016 that hadn’t made it to the blog yet.

We actually call our engagement sessions “This is Us” sessions, because we believe that this time in your life is worth remembering. We want you to look at your photos and remember what it is you love during this time period of being engaged, and what life looked like then. It can be a vulnerable thing to open up a part of your life and have it documented, but we believe the pay off is SO worth it! There’s something special that happens when you are willing to step outside your comfort zone, whether that’s opening up your lives or climbing a mountain. It strengthens you as a couple, and it allows us to document and create images that are unique especially to you. You deserve more than the run of the mill, “let’s get the engagement session checked off the to do list” photos! And you deserve photos that are unique to you, that allow you to see them and say “this is us,” and remember what a sweet time being engaged has been!

Missy and Nathan are awesome, and we are so excited for their wedding at Graystone Quarry later this year! We loved getting to photograph them at their home in East Nashville with their sweet pup, then we headed out to explore around the Quarry and do a little bit of dreaming for their wedding day. I absolutely love that these two were all up for climbing up the cliffs for some epic images!

Congratulations again, Missy & Nathan! We can’t wait to celebrate with you all soon!

Thank you all for stopping by the blog! Looking to have your own This is Us session, or looking for someone to document your wedding day? We’d love to talk more with you!

Happy Friday, everyone!

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
