This weekend was Whitney and Jake’s Peabody Hotel wedding in Memphis! Whitney and Jake met at law school at Vanderbilt, and are so perfect together. They love to just spend time together, and to share and learn together! Their wedding day was absolutely perfect! Before the wedding, Whitney told me about how they were just really so excited to not only be married, but to really soak in the splendor and traditions and meaning of the whole day, while celebrating with their friends and family. And they truly were so present in every moment, which is our wish for all our couples on their wedding day! At the end of the evening, Whitney told me how every part of it was just as perfect as she dreamed!

And with that, on to some of our favorite images from the day!

Whitney and Jake: Congratulations on such a beautiful day! We had an amazing time with you both, and loved getting to be a part of such an elegant evening. We’re so excited for you both, and to see what the future holds for you! Have an amazing time on your honeymoon!

Big thanks to The Peabody Hotel for all they did to make the day amazing (and for taking great care of us!), including catering and creating that beautiful cake (by Konrad Spitzbark)! Also thanks to the St. Louis Big Band, Holliday Flowers, and the White Room!

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
