We shot the gorgeous Allison and Will last week in our country location! Allison and Will are great friends of Jared and I and we loved getting to experience their first engagement session with them! Their next session will have an urban setting shot in downtown rustic Columbus Ohio.

A beautiful engagement like session on Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina! Katie and Alex were in town as guests at a southern wedding we shot a couple weeks ago. Katie was actually the one who referred our beautiful southern bride Elizabeth to us! Elizabeth and Rob’s wedding post is coming soon! For now, enjoy these gems of our sunset beach portraits with Katie and her hubby!

Amy and Shawn | Ohio State Fair

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:45:35 +0000

I loved photographing Amy and Shawn’s lifestyle shoot at the Ohio State Fair this year! This was my first fair shoot and I couldn’t have been happier! During the shoot they got a phone call from their breeder saying their Labradoodle just had 7 pups! What an exciting night for these two!!

Nicole and Brian | Nautical Baby Bump

The Jacobus Duo — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 19:10:09 +0000

When I was chatting with Nicole through email about the post wedding details I asked her the most recgonized question a newlywed bride could be asked…When are the babies going to be arriving?? Well, little did I know, she was PREGNANT!! I didn’t hear a response from her for a couple of weeks and she replied excitedly that she couldn’t reply due to being pregnant and not ONE person knew yet!! I might just have a good way of sensing these types of things….so if you get an email from me asking about babies, watch out!

Nicole and Brian have seriosuly grown to be apart of the Jacobus family and I couldn’t be more excited to have such wonderful people in my life. Nicole is constantly upbeat and possitive and Brian is calm and HILARIOUS!!!!! They make such a cute couple and will make beautiful parents, inside and out.

This should be an advertisement for J.Crew’s summer straw hat!!

Jenessa and Marcus | Engaged

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 12:24:33 +0000

I love shooting engagements. Its the perfect time for a bride and groom to really get to know how I work and for me to get to know how they photograph best. A lot of times this is where most people are nervous. I like to think I can easily calm the nerves of someone who might be in front of a camera for the first time. Dear Jenessa, she was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Bless her heart. The first few minutes we worked through Jenessa’s nerves and then she broke free from what was holding her back and started acting like a rock star!

Jenessa was a bridesmaid in a wedding we did a little over a year ago! She remembered our work, became friends on Facebook, and she’s been stuck with us ever since. I loved “meeting” her and Marcus for the first time. I could have sat there for hours and chatted about weddings and fitness (They own a gym together! Be sure to check out Shred Fitness!!). I actually have had 3 ladies who Ive shot boudoir for that used Marcus as their personal trainer!!

I like to think I have the coolest couples ever. It seems like every bride and groom I work with its so easy to see us being really great friends!! I know I say that a lot but its true and I think its really important to have that connection with your clients!!

Check out this totally fantastic couple, I just love them:

Nicole and Ron | Columbus Engagement

The Jacobus Duo — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:25:33 +0000

When I first got the email from Nicole we instantly had a connection. You see, Nicole is a dear friend of a dear Jacobus bride! Nic was a bridesmaid in the wedding we shot for Brittney and Nick last year! Nicole was very determined to have us as her photographers and I couldn’t be more excited to shoot her and Ron’s wedding!

We met downtown and started aroundBuggyworks. Then we decided to just take a walk and pop into places wherever I saw good light! Well, that seemed to be all over that day! We had so much fun talking about wedding stuff and favorite TV shows and just really getting to know Ron and Nicole more on a personal level. Im so in love with their wedding date 11-11-11!! How cool to have that as your anniversary!!

Seriously? I just love this image:

Happy wind!

Happy Tuesday Y’all!! Make sure to submit your pictures for the chocolate contest below!!!!!

Jesse and Joanna | Engagement

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:46:37 +0000

These two, OHH these two, I love them so much. Jesse and Joanna are some of the coolest peeps I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing and being related to. I remember the first time I met Joanna. Jared and I weren’t married yet but we took a vacation down to his Uncle’s house in Wilmington, NC. She walked in with a graceful messy style. I remember thinking she fit perfect into the image I created of what a beached southern gal would look like. Wind blown blonde hair, navy blue and white striped shirt and a pair of khakis. Straight out of J.Crew. Over the years and over many trips back down to what I refer to as my “home” I got to know Joanna more and more. Then I met Jesse. Jesse was sweet, classy, well spoken and full of ambition, and he loved Joanna. You could see it in how he looked at her, how he respected her and the way he displayed his public affection. I was in love with their love.

A few years down the road they stand in the midst of planning their Southern Vintage wedding. I couldn’t be more excited to kick off the year with an eclectic Southern wedding. The details will be absolutely amazing thanks to their planners!!

Enjoy the pretties, my pretties….

How about we end with a blooper? I caught this in a second and was so happy I did…..

Kandice and Dan | Engaged

The Jacobus Duo — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 22:34:54 +0000

BFF’s. Since I was 15 years old Dan has been a BFF to me and Jared. It wasn’t always like that though. When Dan first met Jared and I he thought we were dorks. Not the cool kind. He regretted working with us, avoided us at Linkin Park concerts, then avoided us again at Steak and Shake, called us names and spit on us while we were down. Okay, so maybe not the last part. But you get my drift. Dan was a BULLY. Then one day something inside Dan snapped. He then realized that the coolest kids he knew were a little gal named Rachel and her forever side-kick, Jared. That’s the day we all became BFF’s.

Ive been around long enough to see Dan go into a relationship….then right back out. His standards were high. Maybe a little too high. We pleaded with him…”Dan, look. You’re getting older. Time to stop being so picky!” But Dan stood by his grounds and standards til one day he met Kandice. She met all of Dan’s needs. Tall. Dark hair. Smart. Witty. Funny. Athletic. Romantic. Loves God. And can put up with Dan…. Okay, I may have thrown that last one in myself. I thought I would never see the day. JUST KIDDING DAN!

The first time I met Kandice she came to visit Dan at my Dad’s pizza joint. I saw this beautiful woman walk into the foyer and pleasantly asked to speak with her boyfriend, Dan. My jaw dropped. SERIOUSLY? How did Dan get so lucky to find her? I’m telling you what, they are perfect for each other. In sooo many ways!

The engagement shoot was so much fun! MissAmy Lutz from ABC6 and FOX28 came to second shoot! She is an amazing woman! I took her head shots before the session, those to be posted later this week!

Lauren and Brian | Engaged!

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 13:22:22 +0000

We pulled the car into the over-grown, hadn’t-been-used-in-a-while parking lot. Getting out of the car with a tad bit of creepiness sitting in my belly I looked up at the 5 story old school house. Most of the windows had been knocked out by either weather or vandalism. We slowly walked around the yard watching our step for any sharp foreign objects. I glanced around the side in time to see a enormous black crow fly to the very top of the building. How appropriate, I thought. I turned to Jared with the look of excitement in my eyes….ITS PERFECT!! We met Lauren and Brian up at our new shooting location this past week. We had so much fun talking about wedding plans, house plans and poor Brian’s collapsed lung! Their wedding is so close and I’m looking forward to shoot them very much!

Get it girl, get it get it giirrrrll!

Jen and Andy | Engaged

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:50:43 +0000

Jen was so cute! She emailed me a couple months back inquiring for a date that we are already booked for. A few weeks later she wrote back to me saying they changed their date! YAY! We were available!! We quickly set up a meeting and I instantly clicked with Jen. What a fun, smart and cute gal! We first started out at Graeters Ice Cream in Westerville and then moved out to Jareds Grandpas land. Jen and Andy were super fun to work with and I cant WAIT for their wedding!

Work it mama!!!

Hellooooo 50 1.2!!!

Alright Andy, give me some sass!!!
