We photographed Sarah and Wayne’s Southall Eden engagement session in June. Ya’ll….I’ve effectively blocked out exactly how hot it was that day, but I feel comfortable in saying it was about ten million degrees. Hello, Southern summer! But Sarah and Wayne (and their pups, who you will see soon!) were absolute troopers! We started out at Arrington Vineyards, then moved onto the gorgeous Southall Eden farm (huge thanks to Shannon for being so accommodating!).

Sarah and Wayne are such a perfect complement to each other. Sarah is super energetic and fun loving, and I can tell she loves to make Wayne laugh! Wayne is quieter, and just so in love with his bride to be. It is absolutely precious. They absolutely adore their dogs, and it was so fun to be able to include that part of their lives in the session!

They are planning an absolutely fabulous wedding in Nashville in September that I am anxiously awaiting! It’s going to be so great to spend another day with these two!

On to some images!

You might remember this photo from their sneak peek, but I love it enough to post it again! So sweet 🙂

So sweet 🙂

Dog whisperer I am not, but we did have fun!

Some of my favorite moments were here at the end of the session. We were all sweltering and slap happy, but Sarah and Wayne were still adorable!

I hope everyone has had a great and relaxing weekend! I have lots of fun blogs planned for this week…for real this time! So check back soon!

Love!

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
