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.

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!

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!!!

Jenny and Kyle | Engagements!

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:33:01 +0000

Jenny and I go way back. Like back to the cradle. Well, me in a cradle, and her running around like a little maniac. Not pointing out ages but we’ll just say that I’m the youngest of us two. I was so excited when her mother, Denise, contacted me about shooting her wedding. Its so awesome to see the people you grew up with find love and marry off! Jenny and Tile….er….Kyle met at a mutual friends house and from there it was all over with…or was it the beginning? They fell in love and decided to tie the knot! They have the most ADORABLE little puppies Ive ever seen. I’m having separation anxiety just thinking about them. Here are a few sample of their engagement pictures we took at Innis Woods in Westerville!

Can we say SASS??

Tara and Mike Engagement Session

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:50:07 +0000

Fall engagements are perhaps some of my favorites to shoot. Innis woods in Westerville, Ohio provides great locations and a wide variety of scenery to shoot. The creative element is beyond reachable there. From brick walls to board walks in the woods, streams with delicately layed stones to different landscaped bridges. With the fall leaves in such great bloom this year, we took advantage of the park with many shoots. Tara and Mike were such a great couple to work with. As previous posts included, we are exploring our talents with off camera flashing to create different lighting effects. The two of them generously stayed with Jared and I past dark to experiment in uptown Westerville. We all had such a blast and I cant wait to shoot their wedding!

I do have a few things to add as a side note to this blog. I am enternally grateful to those who have helped Jared and I along in our career. With technical questions to handling business questions, we had so much help from wonderful photographer friends who were more than generous with their knowledge. Jared and I have thought about what we can do to better ourselves not only as friends to aspiring photographers but to the general audience looking to be able to be more creative and take their hobby to the next level! With every other blog post that we create we want to extend tips and tricks to help along those who want to go further in their business/hobby/images.

While we were in New York City we saw that Dane Sanders was going to be speaking at a local PUG meeting. Dane wrote this amazing book that I recommend to all wedding photographers, new AND experienced. He really opens your mind to paying it forward and that there is “nothing new under the sun”. It helped Jared and I so much and I appreciate the willingness, kindness and openness Dane expressed to Jared and I on our walk to dinner.

Tania and Kevin | Married!

The Jacobus Duo — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:48:22 +0000

This beautiful Fall wedding took place at Victorious Living Christian Church in Grove City, Ohio. The vibrant colors of the leaves really made Tania’s wedding dress just POP out! She accented Kevin with a great color of Orange for his vest. The day went perfect. Tania and Kevin opted to have a “first look”. I LOVE when couples decide to meet each other before the actual wedding because it really allows for a GREAT amount of time for photos and you are getting to capture the Bride and Groom eyeing each other in awe all through out the day! We were able to take all the wedding photos at a local park called Gantz. This park was filled with covered bridges, tree lined walking paths, creek beds, and rolling hills!
