Paul + Jennifer

  • An Oakdale Barn Wedding | Richmond Virginia

This wedding is special to me. Growing up, Michael and I were Youth Group kids. Our best friendships, our craziest adventures and the foundation of our faith stemmed from our time and experiences in Youth Group and we owe so much of our growth to our leaders. Jennifer’s dad, TJ, was one of those leaders. He never missed a mission trip. He was always down for something crazy. He was kind, trustworthy, loyal and I know he loved us and loved the Lord.

Jack + Haleigh

  • A Maroon Bells Destination Wedding in Aspen, Colorado

Imagine getting an email from one of your sweetest students saying that they wanted to hire you to come out to Colorado to capture their small, intimate wedding in Aspen…. I was SO EXCITED!!! This was long before COVID or travel bans or quarantine. Haleigh planned her wedding quickly because her dad’s health was declining quickly and she wanted nothing more than for him to walk her down the aisle and get to experience an amazing trip with him. Haleigh’s dad has been battling cancer with a prognosis that is hard to imagine. That reality made Jack and Haleigh’s wedding day so incredibly special, meaningful and intentional.

Student Spotlight | August 2020

  • Meet Terri, Cody and Angie

In the midst of Covid-19, being pregnant, creating a new mini-course and starting to shoot weddings again for the first time in 7-ish months, I have neglected this very important and very exciting new series that we have been planning on implementing for awhile now! We have so many students…. over 15,000 to be exact… and we’re so proud of what they are accomplishing! Whether they did coaching with me years ago, are All Access members and learn from watching me shoot behind the scenes or are KJ Course Alumni, we love hearing their stories!
