Happy Thursday!

I absolutely cannot believe that May is almost over! And I’m excited you’re all here today, because we have got a stunner of watercolor garden wedding at CJ’s off the Square to share!

Charline and Andrew are two of the most fun and smiliest people I’ve ever met! Seriously, Andrew just had the biggest smile on his face all day long. Before they started dating, Charline got the low down on Andrew from a friend of hers–she just had to know more about the man with the “blonde-swoopy, southern boy hair,” as she called it! They ended up planning for the first date to be to see a movie at the Franklin Theater, but as it got closer, both were separately having second thoughts about the idea of a movie for the first date. So instead, the met up outside the theater, and ended up wandering downtown Franklin for hours talking and getting to know each other. Neither of them wanted the night to end, and it was the beginning of forever!

So of course, downtown Franklin was the PERFECT location for their wedding! Charline’s god-mother designed a gorgeous watercolor stationery suite for the wedding, which became the inspiration for all the decor. Everything was absolutely stunning! Their friends and family definitely came to have a good time, and I especially loved seeing Charline with her mom and sister throughout the day. So much joy! Another thing I loved was that it wasn’t just Charline and Andrew’s friends and families who were excited to celebrate them. All of the wonderfully talented vendors who helped make the day perfect were also so excited to see these two get married! So sweet. Their reception was a fantastic party (they even had a caricature artist–how fun is that?!), that I hear later continued into downtown Nashville haha!

On to some favorite images of 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
