I’m engaged! : )
Earlier this month, my sweetie and I took a trip to St. John in the US Virgin Islands. We went last year, and this year was my 3rd time visiting this amazingly beautiful place. The first day of the trip, we went for a hike to Ram’s Head, which is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. When we got to the top, we sat down on a rock to enjoy the gorgeous view, and Aaron asked me to marry him. YAY! I think it took me about .001 seconds to say yes. We’ve been together for almost 4 years and have lived together for 2. He’s my best friend and he means more to me than I could have ever imagined. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have him in my life, and I am so excited I’ll get to call him my husband and be his wife. So happy! : )
January 19, 2012 - 1:22 pm - SERIOUSLY SO HAPPY FOR Y'ALL! Yay!!!!! :)))
January 19, 2012 - 1:25 pm - Jenny, I'm SO excited for you! He's one lucky dude! Congrats and best wishes for a happy lifetime together :)
Oh 2011, I loved you so. You were so good to me and special in so many ways. I worked with so many amazing families this year. I’ve officially been in business now for about two and a half years, and things just keep getting better and better. This year I met several career goals I set for myself, I attended my first professional conference in Las Vegas, I traveled all over NC for weddings- to the mountains and the beach and back again a few times, I shot my first Biltmore Estate wedding and my first Pinehurst wedding, and I flew across the country to shoot my friend Catherine’s wedding in Malibu, CA.
I am thankful to everyone who has trusted me with their precious memories. I think photographs are so very important. One day, people in the future will be looking back into the past, at us, and I think that is so very special. It hasn’t always been that way. Photographs are a fairly recent development in human history and what an amazing way to see into the past! It’s like time travel! How amazing is that!? I love looking at my grandma’s old photos, and that’s all I have left of her. I want my future kids and grandkids to have something to look at to remember us, and I love providing that for my clients.
Thank you, to my lovely brides and grooms for making my dream come true. I couldn’t ask for a more fulfilling job! It was so much fun being a part of your incredible wedding day memories. For anyone who reads my blog, thanks for caring about what I do. I love hearing from you and really enjoy reading your comments.

You guys are the most fun, wonderful clients a wedding photographer could ask for! : ) I have a really great feeling about 2012… Can’t wait to work with all of you getting married in 2012!
January 6, 2012 - 2:14 pm - Thanks so much for making OUR 2012 so (literally) memorable!
January 7, 2012 - 4:18 pm - Beautiful work, Jenny! Congrats to such a successful year! :)
January 9, 2012 - 11:13 pm - Man, Jenny...that picture of the couple kissing in front of the Blue Ridge Mountains literally took my breath away. Talented lady :)
Here’s a quick sneak peek of Anna and Joel’s New Year’s Eve wedding. There were so many sweet moments during this wedding. I can’t wait to share more with you soon!
Here are a couple from Kyle and Golda’s sweet mountain wedding…
A few from Annie and John’s fun Pinehurst wedding celebration…
More coming soon!
Every time I go through Amy and Andrew’s wedding photos, I am filled with joy. When you are around them them, you feel there is a depth to their love and a level of friendship that is quite rare. I think everyone they know recognizes that. Witnessing that kind of love is really what drives me to be a wedding photographer. It’s something really special and makes me feel so incredibly lucky that THIS is my job… to document something so good and genuine.
Amy and Andrew tossed rose petals into the ocean as a tribute to Andrew’s father and Amy’s mother who have passed.
Instead of doing the common sand ceremony, they took sand from where they were standing, which I thought was really neat.
I now pronounce you…

I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites from the Myers’ family session. Tabitha, Mike, Emma and Addie were so much fun to photograph! I love the playful vibe of these photos.
Check out this little cutie! She has changed so much since I first met her as a newborn. You can see those pictures here. She went from brunette to blonde! I love photographing this sweet family.
This is unconditional love, right here:
December 12, 2011 - 5:12 pm - That first chair picture is TOO ADORABLE!
I can’t say enough good about Courtney and Jacob… I had so much fun with them when we did their engagement session back in the spring. Courtney blew me away with her beauty and sweetness when we did her bridal portrait at the Proximity in Greensboro. All in all, they are just a joy to be around, and so are all of their family and friends. I had a feeling their wedding day was going to be such a pretty day, and it was a perfect September day. The ceremony was at Courtney’s parent’s charming house in Catawba and the reception took place right across the street at the Sherrill Tobacco Co. Banquet Hall. We literally walked to the reception. I love small towns! Courtney and Jacob have been together since high school (awwww!) and are obviously best friends. I love that Courtney helped Jacob put on his tie before the ceremony. There were several emotional and sweet moments during the reception. I don’t usually get teary at weddings because I am so focused on what I am doing, but I was definitely fighting back tears. I think everyone was overcome by the emotion of the combining of families and the acknowledgement of time passing and wanting to savor the moment. It was really special.
