We often introduce you to our J&A Couples through our Meet the Family! series on our blog. Today we wanted to extend that and not only introduce you to our J&A Couple Derek and Olivia, but also share one of their big adventures since they were married this past December. We love seeing where life’s […]

Oh, where to start with these two! Jake and Anne’s wedding at Monte Sano Lodge last August was full of fun, nerdy, and adorable details. Everything about it was so Jake and Anne, and it was perfect. We met Jake and Anne for their one year anniversary Forever Session last night! We went back to the […]

We all know how much Joel and I love cake. It’s our joke that we got into wedding photography because we would be able to eat cake at every reception. :) Coming from the midwest, it took a little adjustment to get used to decorating my cakes with southern “icing” instead of  the midwest’s “frosting”. I […]

Something that has been really helpful for our marriage is finding things that we can enjoy together. Earlier this summer, we spent a couple of days exploring parts of Texas and New Mexico together. As we were walking around a tiny little town with a local coffee in hand, we looked at each other and smiled. […]

We met Clayton, Amanda, and their kids for a family J&A Forever Session on a warm July evening. Okay, let’s admit it. It’s Alabama. It was hot. Ridiculously hot. These guys were total troopers, though! We really look forward our J&A Forever Sessions. We love hearing about where our J&A Couples are now and what […]

Forgive quickly. This is so, so important in a marriage! Not many things will destroy a relationship faster than grudges. And don’t just “forgive”. You need to forgive with your heart. It’s easy to keep a list in your memory of the ways your spouse has wronged you, ready to bring up at an opportune […]

We first met Laura as a bridesmaid in the wedding of one of our J&A Couples. It was an uncharacteristically warm February day at Stone Bridge Farms. Our wonderful J&A Couple Austin + Erica said their vows in a cute little chapel, and we got to spend the day with sweet people like Laura! We […]

If we could think of one word to describe this wedding, it would be “joy”. These two have so much joy in each other and in their relationship with the Lord. This day was truly a celebration of their love. From our first meeting with these two, we’ve been so struck by their joyful hearts. […]

If you spend any time on Pinterest or wedding blogs, you’ll see all kinds of gorgeous, emotional photos of a bride getting ready for the wedding. Mom zipping up her dress with the bridesmaids laughing in the background, the perfect shade of lipstick being applied, and the veil adding that final magical finishing touch. But […]

When we first met Jeremy and Mackenzie at our favorite local tea shop (hello, Piper and Leaf!), it took about 3 seconds to know that we just clicked with these two. Their sweet spirits and kind hearts won us over instantly. Hearing them talk about their dreams for their wedding and seeing how excited they […]

We loved walking around historic downtown Huntsville with Manoj and Cassie for their sweet summer engagement session last week!! Downtown Huntsville is a place we never get tired of exploring! There are so many beautiful spots around. Some of my favorites are those gorgeous historic homes. We were super excited to meander around the historic district with […]

As fun as it is, wedding planning can sometimes be overwhelming! There are so many options out there and so many decisions to make. That’s what makes online resources like Borrowed & Blue such a great option for brides planning a wedding in the Birmingham and surrounding areas! It’s a great place to scout out […]
