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!

What a blessed life we have. God has given us such a wonderful gift to be able to capture such special moments for people. I love my job and wouldn’t have asked for anything better. Even though weddings and engagements are the specialty of the Jacobus Duo, we often have the privilege to photograph families, children, maternity sessions and yes…even pets. Here are a few of last weeks sessions!

Up first is Eli:

Next up is Baby Drew!!

78 degrees and sunny. I read the forecast and made little squeals inside my head. If anyone has experienced working with me they will all tell you that I’m a squealer. Its usually right after I get “the” shot. I just get so excited that I squeal really loud. Sami and James know me very well. This being their 3rd shoot in 7 months, they’ve heard me get excited and make loud squeals. Sami is a girl after my own heart. She’s incredibly sweet, beautiful and has spunky spunk! When Sami and James first came to me for their maternity session I never realized what a beautiful friendship I was about to inherit.

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.

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!!!

Ashley and Brad | Engagements

Ashley and Brad met up with us at Graeter’s Ice Cream in Westerville. We shot around the area for an urban-grunge kind of feel then headed to Innis Woods for more of a park kind of feel. We stopped by the Amish Originals Furniture while uptown to snap some shots with their super cool frames out front. We have really lucked out with the weather these past couple weeks! Beautiful sunshine warmish days!

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.
