Hi friends!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! In case you missed it last week, be sure to check out some of our favorites from Abby and Patrick’s NYC engagement session. But today we’re excited to share a few of our personal, fun shots from the trip 🙂 Travel is always such an inspiration for us. There’s something about getting out and being out of your comfort zone that helps us see things in a different way! This was Chris’s first trip to New York; I had been once before on a class trip, so it doesn’t really count haha. But there was SO much to take in, so we spent a lot of time taking it in, and less time photographing it. It really is an amazing city! We already can’t wait to go back and dig into even more of it’s awesomeness, see more of our favorite spots from this trip, and a few things that we missed 🙂

How cute is that dog?! He might be one of my favorite things we saw in Williamsburg in Brooklyn haha. Although Mast Brothers Chocolate (on the right) and The Meatball Shop (below) were pretty awesome too!

    Hi there, I am a photographer based in the UK. A few months ago I was doing some research and came across your website. Ever since I have been popping back every few weeks to check out your latest work. I think your photos are brilliant 🙂

    Regards

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
