C&J – Part I

So last night, I was helping Jesie paint the trim at her new condo.  After a run to Little Caesars, six of us in our holey jeans and paint-smears faces and elbows sat down in the middle of her empty living room to indulge in a little greasaroni. Nate, a boy whom I had never met before until that evening, sat next to me.  “So, what’s your story, Nate?” I asked through bites of my cheese pizza.  He looked at me like I had two heads and said, “What do you mean, ‘what’s my story?”  Obviously, he didn’t quite get my conversation starter and it dawned on me that “What’s your story?” is a really great question that elicits a lot of different answers.  People don’t always know how to answer that question and that’s fun part.  Stay with me… This is a wedding post, I know.  Anyhow, I’m tryin’ something new here.  C & J had so many incredible details at their wedding.  Practically everything was handmade by C and her mother.  Necklaces, dresses, hankies, you name it. Shoes!  So, for their first post, because I focused so much on it during their day, I’m posting solely detail images.  And I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.  Consider it a little “What’s their story?” type post. site down Who are these people?  What are they like?  What are their occupations? Where was their wedding?  How did they meet?  I’m curious to see what y’all come up with.  Then check back in a couple of days to actually see the faces of these amazing people.

****Until then, let’s make this a little fun! Write a brief story in the comments section (or email me) of who C & J are, I will deliver your stories to a judge. Probably Jesie. :) Go crazy!  Write whatever you want.  Wow me, people.  Aaaand, the winner, whoever comes up with the most creative story based on the details below wins a $25 Starbucks gift card! Or Amex gift card.  Cause I’m a fan of them too.

Good luck!

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
