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…..

Crazy summer!

The Jacobus Duo — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:02:29 +0000

I woke up this morning refreshed. The kind of refreshed where you pop out of bed with a skip in your step and a smile on your face. It was a refreshing alternative to the past couple of days. The last few days Ive been dredding the thought of getting out of bed. I just wanted to curl up in a ball, turn off my phone, grab the ear plugs and beauty mask and just sleep. This, obvioulsy, was not an option. My mind was racing of blogs, emails to return, phone calls to make, fashion shows, family time, puppy time, albums…the list goes on and on. I decided its time to get myself more organized and try a new routine. This is applied today. I have a lot of blog posts that will be happening over the course of this week and next. On top of 5 new shoots this week which will be added to the blog post roll.

Here is what you can expect to see soon!

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!!!

Mel and Dustin | Engaged

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 21 May 2010 21:40:35 +0000

It all started when Mel was sent to Colonial Music in Westerville to get an instrument fixed. She walked through the front door with an instrument about the same size as she was. As she plopped it up on the counter a handsome young man (Dustin) ran to the desk to complete her order. Dustin had experienced love at first sight. Mel quickly signed her receipt picked up her bags and walked out the door. As she left Dustin was squinting every which direction trying to make out her scribble of a signature. Finally he put something together, he knew what school she worked for! He sent in some top secret spy’s (not really, just high school students) to find out what her name was. They succeeded and brought back the information to Dustin. Dustin then spent hours looking for her on facebook to try and ask her out on a date. And that’s when he found her….

Dustin and I grew up together. We were friends in Elementary school clear up until High school. I was so excited when he IM’ed me one night telling me that he is engaged and he needed a wedding photographer… I might know one!!! (wink wink), I wrote. I was filled with joy when Dustin brought Mel to me to meet her for the first time. Mel is incredibly sweet and her heart is in the hands of a wonderful guy!

Kelly and Steve | Engaged

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 01 May 2010 13:19:49 +0000

When Kelly and Steve originally scheduled their engagement session the storm gods decided to let loose and keep us from shooting. The day that we rescheduled couldn’t have been more perfect. 75 degrees, sunshine and great light! Getting to know Kelly and Steve a little better was a great experience and I’m so glad that I can now call them my friends. You guys rocked your photo shoot and I cant wait to show you more!

Bryn and Justin | Coming soon…

The Jacobus Duo — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:24:40 +0000

Coming soon…

Megan and Robert | Engagement

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:45:46 +0000

Megan and Robert were what I like to label as AbFab. Jared and I have barely been able to get out and shoot this last month and a half and we’ve been going crazy inside this house. Of course, getting construction done on the inside is awesome but we were getting a little shutter happy. We went into the session completely and totally 100% inspired by Bob and Dawn Davis. They are some of the industries best and I hope to be as big as them one day! You might have heard us talk about them in this post HERE. Their off camera lighting was one of the main approaches we took with the session with Megan and Robert. It was less than 25 degrees and these two were such champs and stayed out shooting with us for almost 2 hours!!! I don’t think I’ve ever taken almost 2 hours for an engagement session. Thanks you two! We had a total blast getting to know you and cant wait for your wedding!!

Rachel and Stephen | Engaged!

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:46:04 +0000

We pulled up to the little Columbus home around 3:30p.m. and with welcoming arms we were pleasantly invited inside. Everything about Rachel and Stephen’s house was just perfect. From the vintage cabinets to the modern lighting I just was bursting with ideas. They wanted some pictures with their beloved doggy’s in their back yard. As we walked outside I squealed once again with excitement. Rachel and Stephen have done such a wonderful job decorating and I just couldn’t take it. Their backyard was a perfect spot for some great photos. After we were finished in the yard they drove us to a perfect little park near Schiller. I…once again…squealed. I will return to this hot spot again for their wedding photos and most likely again for future clients. Thank you so much for introducing me to this picture perfect spot!

Hands down my fav of the day!

Brittney and Nick | Engagements

The Jacobus Duo — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:00:29 +0000

Brittney and Nick were such a fun couple to shoot. We had a beautiful warm day after a couple days of rain and chilly temperatures. The two drove all the way in from Dayton, Ohio so even though the ground was a little moist, we made it work. Brittney and Nick were up for anything though. As we were shooting and chatting we discovered a love that we both shared, going out to eat. Oh boy, I love me so good cookin’. Especially if someone is there to clean it all up for me when Im finished. Thank you for giving me some great laughs and a good time at the shoot you two.

Annie and Jeff | Engagements

The Jacobus Duo — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:11:48 +0000

Flabbergasted. Excited. Powerful. All words to describe my feelings walking onto the field of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Engagements in the “shoe” was a fantastic idea and I’m incredibly ecstatic we had a gorgeous day to shoot. Annie and Jeff met with the Jacobus Duo ( Jared and I ) about 4 months ago. I knew right away this couple was going to be so much fun. And I was right. We had a blast shooting their engagement photos. They brought a football to play around with while shooting and it added just the right accessory to the day. AndreyVoskresensky was there shooting their engagement video as well. Check out his promo video below. He’s pretty amazing!

Karin and Mark | Engagements!

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:06:38 +0000

Karin and Mark are two peas in a pod. We shot their engagement photographs at Innis Woods in Westerville. This couple is so great to be around and shooting their wedding will be a BLAST! As you look through the pictures, please pay close attention to their eyes. They both have such breath taking eyes I almost couldn’t stop staring!!!
