Who are You : Follow Up

September 24, 2012 by Jensey 14 Comments

You. Guys.

So, when I posted the Who are you post in early September, I was expecting maybe 20 comments from family, but I’m so blown away! I literally had no idea 90% of you read this thing! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking a second to let me know you’re there. :)

I have to admit, I have serious low blog self-esteem. I’m always hesitant to post personal things (other than Huck)- I feel like I’m not eloquent enough, interesting enough, or funny enough, and I’m constantly fighting the woe-is-me-no-one-reads-this-thing blues. But now I’m feeling excited and rejuvenated and ready to shake things up a bit!

So, now I want to know- Even though I blog every wedding and session we do, what else would you like to see on here? I have a long list of wedding day, engagement session, and general photography tips I want to start sharing weekly, but what am I missing? Want vendor interviews? More inspiration boards? More posts about our daily life? It’s my blog resolution to get a bit more personal on here with the good, the bad, and the not-so-pretty.

So I know it’s vague, but I really want to know- What would you like to see on here?

I love you. You rock. *Virtual fist bump.*

Valerie + John : Wedding Part II

September 13, 2012 by Jensey 5 Comments

Continued from Valerie and John’s Wedding Part I!

Germantown Presbyterian had one of the more intense “church ladies” we’d ever worked with. She was constantly breathing down our neck about the timeline and had to know where we were and where we were planning on being every minute we were shooting. I felt like her eyes were locked on me during the whole ceremony to make sure I didn’t go one step farther than our invisible boundary allowed. It wasn’t until I told her that we were planning on taking Valerie and John to the church gymnasium that she lost her mind- “You’re taking them where? Are you kidding me?!”

Lucky for us, Valerie and John trusted us completely and I ended up getting my favorite shot of the day (luckily Mom and church lady weren’t around to see them tossing their flowers!) :
