Danni + Chadd : Wedding Part I

March 13, 2012 by Jensey 3 Comments

After having way too much fun on their engagement session, Nate and I knew Danni and Chadd’s wedding day was going to be amazing. :) They’re a silly couple, they adore their dogs, and they saw each other before their near-sunset ceremony… What else could a Jensey ask for?!

Danni and Chadd first heard of us through our past couple, Jennika and Brandon, who we photographed way back in 2008. Chadd was Brandon’s best man, and on Danni and Chadd’s wedding day, Brandon got to repay the favor. We love when past couples are in the bridal party!

The bride and groom got ready at the same hotel, which always makes our job a little easier.

You can’t tell they’ve been friends most their lives at all, can you? ;)

Love finding an intimate spot for the first look.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. :)

Here’s the church, here’s the steeple. Open the doors, and see all the people! ;)

They were married at the same church as Jennika and Brandon, but you couldn’t even tell with all the restorations this church has had! Love weddings at St. James Cathedral!

I think Chadd was excited. ;)

I’m in love with these two! (The photos, too!)

Danni, you were gorgeous!!!!

Check back tomorrow for part two!

Happy Birthday, Love

March 12, 2012 by Jensey 5 Comments

Nathanial David, I love you to infinity and beyond. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I’d find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am. – Ingrid Michaelson

The Best Gift Ever

March 8, 2012 by Jensey 18 Comments

Nate and I just passed our 8th(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) dating anniversary. Since it falls on Leap Day and we can only celebrate it every four years, it’s gotta be special. That being said, I knew I had to find the perfect gift. :)

I’m a strong believer in The 5 Love Languages! You can read more about them here, and take a test if you’re curious what yours is; either quality time, gifts, acts of service, physical touch, or words of affirmation. My love language by a landslide is gifts. I love finding the perfect gifts for the people I love, and it’s not uncommon that as Nate is blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, I’m already deciding what I’m giving the next year. :) Yes, I have a problem.

That being said, it was while we were photographing Tara and Matt’s wedding last August that I was struck with my favorite gift idea… EVER. Tara had painted this darling picture of the Up house to put on their cake table. I immediately decided whenever we did get a house, Nate’s gettin’ an Up-inspired painting of it- even if I had to do it myself!

Lucky for me, we have the most talented friends on the planet, and Patrick (of Carriatrick fame), graciously volunteered to take on the challenge. Even though we didn’t get the house soon enough to make it a Christmas gift, it made a perfect 8 year “dateaversary” gift on Leap Day. We’ve only been able to celebrate our dateaversary twice now, so it made it even more special! :)

I’m eternally grateful for Patrick and his amazing work… He even put in some hidden Mickey balloons and MY HUCKLEBERRY! It’s perfect and my favorite piece I’ve ever owned. Nate flipped when I gave it to him; My favorite moment was that after 30 seconds of grinning and gazing at the print, he realized, “Wait… That’s OUR HOUSE!”

So Patrick, WE LOVE YOU! I’ll never, ever be able to thank you enough. Can’t wait for you to come see it hanging up in person!!!
