Hello, everyone!

Last Wednesday we had one of those unbelievable Nashville summer days where the humidity is low and we get the first hint of fall in the air. So basically, the perfect day to explore Vanderbilt University with Amanda and Ryan, who met during their freshman year at Vandy. They were in the same dorm, and met during a game night between their floors, became friends, and have been together ever since! It was so fun to wander around campus and hear them reminiscing about their time as Commodores! Amanda and Ryan are so sweet together, and enjoy the outdoors and dreaming about the future they will share together. After Vandy, we headed over to one of their favorite hiking spots to take in some beautiful views and soak up a beautiful sunset!

Here are a few of our favorites 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
