Lindsay + Dave : The Barn at Crescent Lake Wedding in Odessa, Florida

March 6, 2021 by Jensey 1 Comment

Nate has known Lindsay for a quarter of a century.

Back when she was his annoying little sister’s best friend and he’d try to convince her she had broccoli stuck in her teeth. :)

Honestly, it’s a darn miracle that Lindsay asked us to be her wedding photographers! I’ve watched her grow from my sister-in-law’s adorable high school best friend and got to know her better when we were Jessie’s bridesmaids. Now it’s her turn!!

Lindsay, it meant so much to be a part of your and Dave’s day and I can’t think of a better wedding to not only kick off 2021, but remind us of the weddings we have to look forward to. I finally feel like we’re really turning a corner here, and your day was just the bright spot we’ve been needing. <3

I hope you love your photos as much as we loved making them!! We wish y’all the absolute best and can’t wait to watch the life you build together! 🙂

*This* was the smile we were greeted with. Does it get any better?!

My sister-in-law was the matron of honor, so Jess gets some extra bridesmaid love in this post! :)

Lindsay kept her dress a secret from almost all of her bridesmaids, and I *think* this shows their approval! <3

They were married at The Barn at Crescent Lake, just down the road from their home. :)

Oh, how I’ve missed this vieeeeeeew! <3

Lindsay, QUEEN of the over-the-shoulder smolder!

These mama portraits! <3

If you don’t have games to play during your cocktail hour, you’re doing it wrong! (And serious thanks to this sweet couple for letting me hang around an uncomfortable amount of time to get this photo, lol!)

The real MVPs for getting Lindsay and Dave’s drinks while we wrapped up portraits! :)

CAN. WE. TALK. ABOUT. THIS. LIGHT!!!

First dance love. <3

Lindsay and Dave, we love y’all!!! Thank you for having us!!! <3

Katie + Patrick : Quantum Leap Winery Wedding

March 30, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Ohhhh, how quickly life can change in one short month! On Leap Day, we photographed our first wedding at Quantum Leap Winery.

The *only* time the word Corona was brought up in conversation was talking about how badly we felt that our couple had to change their honeymoon plans because of it. If we only knew what life would look like just two weeks later.

I’ve gone back and forth on whether to keep blogging and posting weddings out of respect, but I think it’s time to get the ball rolling again. I know *I* feel relief seeing non-news posts in my feed, and I think now is the perfect time to remind our couples that life moves on. Our brides are still planning weddings and I want to share the happiness we had the honor of shooting this spring before dates got rescheduled!

So on to these two. <3

If you follow along with the blog, Katie and Patrick were our famous Skyliner couple!! You can click the photo below for more favorites from that shoot! :) Katie was on the small team of people responsible for dreaming up the Skyliner and bringing it to life, so this location was a must! <3
