Juliana + Ryan : Long Beach Island Lighthouse Engagement Session in New Jersey

July 9, 2014 by Jensey 5 Comments

Meet Juliana and her fiance Ryan, who we first met a yearish ago at her sister Gina’s Disney wedding! :)

See, another one of Gina’s bridesmaids, her friend Valerie, was getting married and brought us up to New Jersey for her wedding. A week before we got there, though, Gina’s little sister happened to get engaged so things timed out perfectly for a session with them while we were there! :)

One of my favorites! :)

Juliana, you’re ridiculously beautiful! :)

And then we found this location, which had Nate grinning behind his camera for a good 20 minutes!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! :)

Juliana and Ryan, thank you for having some fun with us and we can’t wait for your wedding!! :)

More of Gina and Bob and their awesome friends!

Lorie + Jon : Fourth Anniversary

July 3, 2014 by Jensey 1 Comment

Four years ago tomorrow, our best friends exchanged vows under a magical acacia tree in Tanzania, Africa. We still haven’t gotten around to editing all of our trip photos- How sad is that?! Until I eventually do a week long blog dedication to our African adventure, you can relive Lorie and Jon’s love story through the blog links below. :) Happy 4th on the 4th, kids!!

Virginia + Lindsey : Downtown Memphis Wedding Preview

June 13, 2014 by Jensey 1 Comment

If you’ve been following our blog the past four years, you’d know that even though we live in Nashville, it’s rare that we get to photograph weddings in our home state! Imagine our surprise when our sweet Orlando couple Emily and Stephen moved to Memphis and referred us to new friends Virginia and Lindsey! I always love a reason to visit where I grew up, even if it’s a whirlwind 30 hour trip for a wedding! :)

Virginia began her wedding day getting ready at The Peabody Memphis, my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite favorite. :)

We’ve had a lucky stream of ADORABLE ring bearers, and Eli did not disappoint. This is him proudly showing Nate his new tattoo of Nigel, Virginia and Lindsey’s dog, made by her amazing bridesmaid Hailey! :)

Favorite. I cannot believe my “grown up job” gives me an excuse to hang out on The Peabody rooftop with beautiful people!

Gosh, you are both gorgeous!

Nate’s favorite.

My favorite, even with scary church lady looking on in the back. :)

Just two minutes for photos before the sky opens up on them? Check and mark! Their party continued at the Center for Southern Folklore with Amy Miller Weddings & Events on hand to make sure everything was perfect! :)

Root couple love!!!!!!!!!!!!! Virginia and Lindsey, thank you for bringing me home for the weekend!! We love all four of you and cannot wait to share more photos in the coming weeks!!! <3
