Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Today we’re excited to share some more favorites from Zack and Brianne’s Riverwood Mansion wedding! As you can see on their faces in the images, these two were just so excited to finally be marrying each other! Brianne told me prior to the wedding that she was especially looking forward to the first look, because Zack always wears his emotions on his sleeve. That was definitely true for both of them in one of the sweetest first looks ever! Everything about the day was so fun, and it was so great to watch two families come together to celebrate Zack and Brianne (and a little bit of Gator football thrown in!). Their ceremony had an extra special touch, as it was officiated by one of their best friends, and everyone partied into the evening!

On to some of our favorite moments from the day!

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
