We’re so excited to introduce you to our J&A Bride, Lauren! We met Sean when he came to Huntsville for UAH, and started attending our church. We were so thrilled when his sweet bride-to-be Lauren asked us to be their wedding photographers! We’ll be taking a road trip to Atlanta in May to celebrate with […]

“Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.” ~Dave Willis It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? But how often do we pour more effort into our jobs, our friends, or even the never-ending pile of housework than we do our husbands or wives? Sometimes we take our […]

Today on the J&A Blog, we’re going to share a helpful little tidbit about something you probably haven’t put much thought into: the bustle for your wedding dress. Most brides bustle the train on their gown before the reception entrance. Bustling is helpful for several reasons! It makes it much easier for you to move around […]

Do you have any fun childhood memories that still make you super happy? One of my very favorite childhood hobbies was reading. If I had some free time, 99% of the time I was curled up somewhere with a book. Not only that, but I read several at one time. I kept a book in the […]

One of our favorite things about Josh and Olivia is how their eyes sparkle when they look at each other. When they’re together, you can tell that they are brilliantly happy and you can’t help but laugh with them! We are just so excited for these two and about their love for each other. The […]

“If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made […]

A couple weeks ago, we shared Meghan and Emory’s gorgeous sunset Forever Session on the blog. I promised we’d share a glimpse of our amazing day at the Memphis Zoo, and today is the day! I think the last time I’ve visited a real, legit zoo was Disney’s Animal Kingdom back in high school. When […]

(If this is your first time visiting A Mocha for Your Tuesday, then click here to read the story behind our series!) Joel and I have this very specific grocery shopping routine. On Wednesday nights after prayer meeting at our church, we start hitting up our favorite grocery stores. Shopping is just way more fun when […]

The Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Cha Cha Slide, the Wobble… There’s nothing like a great reception dance to get the party started and people on the dance floor. Here’s a super fun idea! Think about hiring a dance instructor for your reception. Keep plenty of time open for free dance, but how fun would it […]

It’s been said that “Behind every great man is a great woman.” Made famous by Meryll Frost and used to promote a couple different social movements, you’ve probably come across this phrase at least once. As wives or soon-to-be-wives, there’s so much we can learn from that statement! Our husbands need us to be strong. […]

Emory and Meghan. These two remind us over and over why we love what we do. Who knew that we would go from a “it’s great to meet you!” coffee date three years ago to a 3 1/2 hour road trip to spend the weekend with them in Memphis? As we love and serve our couples the […]

Fun story from our dating days: Joel and I met at college when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. (Covenant College rocks, by the way!) We both transferred to other colleges a couple months after that to pursue our degrees (super sad!). Since we had a long distance relationship, I usually spent […]
