je vois photography

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this elegant bridal brunch that was nothing short of enchanting. Collaborating with the incredibly talented Symone Shaw of  Occasions with Symone Shaw and the floral genius Suzanne Martensen of Stems & Styles, this event was a testament to the beauty of thoughtful planning and timeless design. Each detail came […]

My baby sister got married on Saturday.  What a weird feeling!  The baby.  When she was little little we would say “Grace, why are you so cute?” and she would say “Because God made me cute.”  And now she’s honeymooning in Mexico.  Fleeting moments. I haven’t figured out how to be a bridesmaid AND a […]

I’m so obsessed with Liz’s bridal portrait session, and have had to keep it hidden for a month, that I’m scheduling it the night before her wedding to post JUST after her wedding.  Ha!!  When I first met Liz I thought she was pretty and so cute.  Also quite thorough while still soft spoken.  Easy […]

It was a struggle to decide in what order to post the two sessions I have for Drew and Rob.  The images in this post are from their “engagement session” the day before their engagement party, which included a surprise wedding.  I love these so much that I couldn’t hold out on you. Now for […]

Remember a really long time ago when I said I wanted a bride to take me wedding dress shopping with her?  Well… she did! My sister Hagen got engaged on Friday.  With one extremely type-A sister and one extremely excitable sister, we found ourselves gown shopping the very next day.  It was partly a joke, […]

I love when a family I knew a little gets in touch with me years down the road for a child’s wedding.  When Morgan, her mom and sister and I got together months ago to discuss her wedding, we had so many things in common that we talked for a really long time- Homewood, Dawson, […]

On a beautiful Sunday in July, I got to attend Caroline and Matt’s beautiful wedding.  And take pictures.  Their ceremony was one of my very favorites.  You’ll see in a moment that they are a gorgeous couple on the outside.  But by observing their actions toward each other and seeing the details and thought that […]

This Saturday was what brides dream of as far as weather for their wedding day.  Beth and Evan originally planned on an evening wedding with a large reception with dancing, etc.  This is what most of their friends did.  But then they started thinking about it and decided that wasn’t them.  They are brunch people, […]

When I start thinking about what I’ll write as I blog a wedding I plan to say “This was my favorite part…”  But within each wedding I have around 4 or 5 “favorite” parts.  Instead of telling you all dozen of my favorite moments Jen and Tommy’s wedding, I’ll just warn you ahead of time- […]

Back in November I met with this beautiful girl that I really liked.  Her wedding was in March and I wanted to be the photographer.  Our personalities clicked, her plans sounded gorgeous and I just knew her bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks would make a beautiful bride.  What I didn’t know is that Anna […]

I have so many things to say about this wedding.  From the amazing style and smile of the bride to the easy-going, comfortable demeanor of the groom… the laughter-filled bridesmaids to the fun-loving, dance-loving groomsmen… the amazing band, food, bride’s dress… the perfect day both schedule and weather-wise.  All of it was better than I […]

Liesa and Chad were married Saturday and it was beautiful!  But, I’ve been having to sit on these gorgeous bridal portraits for a couple of months and couldn’t wait any longer.  It’s just a hint at how beautiful the wedding day was.I love this one.  I’d like to tell you that she looks so wistful […]

My Saturday started a little rough (stomach virus in the middle of the night.)  And had a few bumps at the end (flat tire as I left the reception.)  But the rest of the day was beautiful and filled with Jenny and Payton’s wedding festivities! I hadn’t met Jenny or Payton before last year, although […]

It was hot as blue blazes on Danielle and Trey’s wedding day.  It rained three times, but never where Danielle was.  We think that means this marriage has extra luck!  I started the day with Danielle at her parents home in Liberty Park.  All the women in the family had their hair done there, and make […]

Today a girl I met around 10 years ago got married and I had the privilege of photographing it.  I started teaching Danielle ballet when she was a 9th grade girl and today I watched a graceful woman marry the man she has loved for almost as long.  One of the hardest things about bridal […]
