You can read about my love for Robyn in my post about her engagement session here.

I find the older I get, the pickier I get about people around me. Wait- That sounds sort of awful, let me start over. You know when you love someone so much that no matter who they choose to spend their lives with, that person can never quite match up to your love and admiration of your friend? And it’s not that you don’t like who they choose to marry, it’s just that you adore your friend so very much that no one could ever quite match up?

Well, Robyn’s wedding was extra special for me, because the second I met Jake, he reminded me so much of Nate and I was immediately as in love with him as I am with Robyn. These two truly have something special and seem to share that “thing” Nate and I have- I really look forward to seeing a long, happy happy happy marriage between these two kids. :)

Robyn and Jake were married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in my hometown, Germantown, TN!

Right after Robyn and Jake’s first look, we drove them to Oaklawn Gardens for some portraits. There’s a very cool feeling about photographing weddings where I grew up- Here’s to many more Memphis shoots! :)

Yeah, pretty much could have shot here all day. :)

A couple of my favorites. Robyn and Jake, y’all looked amazing. :)

Back to Our Lady of Perpetual Help for some family photos. This one’s my faaaaaavorite. Remember Maevy? :)

Then it was off to Ridgeway Country Club for their reception! :)

Their first dance was to Harry Connick Jr.’s “It Had to be You.” <3

More favorites!!!!

Robyn and Jake, we adore y’all so much- Please please keep in touch!! xoxo, j

More love for this sweet family on our blog!

It’s Robyn and Jake’s wedding preview day on the blog!! You may remember this gorgeous girl from her Nashville engagement session I blogged a few months ago. I was lucky enough to not only know Robyn from high school, but her two gorgeous sisters, too. Any wedding that brings me home is a special one to me, but this one was extra sweet since it was for an old friend. :)

Nate and I had zero time for bride and groom portraits between Robyn and Jake’s ceremony and reception, so we were so thankful they opted for a first look. We drove them to Oaklawn Garden, a little botanical park with a caboose that’s down the street from my old high school. :)

I’ve been following Maevy’s mom’s blog called March Forth with Maevy for a few years now, so this little flower girl is a bit of a celebrity to me now! This one’s my favorite photo from the day, Maevy getting Aunt Robyn to smell her flowers. :)
