Lauren and Bryan | Married Part 1

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:56:26 +0000

It was a scorching hot day. Muggy day. A day where you don’t want to smell your dog after he’d been hit by a skunk. Well, the day we met Lauren and Bryan was THAT day. Our meeting took place on the back patio of our porch. The lemonade was poured and the hummus was ready to be devoured. My dog, only two nights before, had been sprayed by a skunk-worst night of my life. The beautiful couple came in, had a beverage with us and no one ate the hummus but me. You see, I was on a Greek food kick. I ate Gyros 3 times a week at the little hole in the wall up the road while our house was being constructed. Anyways, we got chatting with this devine couple and learned from watching them and their actions that they were truly in love. I couldn’t count how many time I’d catch Bryan just watching Lauren with a giant smile. Or when Lauren was playfully tease with Bryan. It something called love, and they had it!

When we shot their engagements it was such an awesome time to get to know the two. Bryan was just recovering from a collapsed lung! Poor guy! I tried to be careful with my crazy scenarios after that.

Lauren and Bryan are not only building and constructing a relationship together, but building and reconstructing their first home together. From experience, renovating your first home with your newlywed is a great way of building up a relationship. You’ve got excitement, joy, decisions to make TOGETHER, frustration, trial runs, errors, reconstructions, failures and success. But getting through all this will make your stronger, lover deeper, and appreciate harder.

Okay so enough deep lovey dovey, I just had to get it out because, well, that’s me! Poor Jared right?!? Any who, you might be wondering why this post says PART 1! Well, to better explain it…its in 2 parts! This is what happens when you get me shooting a BEAUTIFUL outdoor wedding, irresistible light, a Bride and Groom willing to do ANYTHING for pictures, details GALORE and a fan-freakin-tastic bridal party who laughs at my jokes. Seriously, they laughed at me, or should I say with me! Doesn’t matter, I made them laugh.

I bring to you….Sassy Girl and G-Clue Part Uno:

Jaaci and Matt | Wedding!

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:49:58 +0000

I woke up different that morning. I was refreshed. Energized. Excited. FEARLESS! It was the morning after I had just written my epic post about getting over some of my fears. I was ready to take on anything. Jared and I prepared our minds and reached deep down into our creative thinking. I surrounded myself with some of my favorite artists, turned on my energizing techno and began sipping away at the largest coffee mug ever. We gathered our gear up the night before so everything was ready to toss into our car at the last second. Jaaci and Matt’s wedding took place in Defiance, Ohio which was about 2 hours and 45 minutes away from our little home. I was excited to to be able to spend a nice long car ride with Jared with nothing to bother us-except maybe the officer who pulled us over for speeding, but that’s neither here nor there. I thought about how I want to be different. In my business and my personal life. I came up with some pretty awesome stuff and I’m super excited to be applying it starting this week! But, that’s a whole other blog post. I met Jaaci through her sister Tori! I shot their family pictures last fall and what an adorable family!

We arrived at St. Pauls United Methodist Church, saw we had some extra time and decided to grab a quick bite to eat at Subway! I couldn’t have asked for a better day to be shooting. The sun was out with warm soothing heat that brushed across your face and Vitamin D was hittin’ ya where ya needed it! I loved everything about this day and Ive been very excited to get these pictures up for a sneak peek!

All images were processed using Sassy Pants!

I took this picture on our way home from Jaaci and Matt’s wedding and wrote this blog about it.

Star-Gazing

The Jacobus Duo — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 10:58:48 +0000

Yesterday was different. After posting my previous blog post I went into my day with a new attitude. A new ME. I walked around with a smile on my face and said hi to strangers. I showed affection to my husband in front of others. No, Internet, I didnt full on make-out with my hubby like a love sick teenager. We held hands. Poked noses and just plain giggled with each other. Life is too short not to show the ones you love that they come first. Always.

The car ride home was even different. Our wedding was 3 hours away from our home so we had a bit of a drive to think and talk. We got to a certain part in our trip where we had no cell phone service, no lights around ANYWHERE. Internet, we were in the plain back road COUNTRY! I paused from our conversation to gaze out my window. The blanket of stars were astonishing! I wish we could just pull over and star gaze with each other , I casually mentioned. See my last post, I said I was going to do that! Jared quickly pulled over on the side of the road and just stopped. I looked at him with an excited and confused face. We JUST DID IT. He opened the sun-roof and I stood on my warm leather seats to take a better look at the sky. Wow. I have never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life. Never have I been able to see SO many stars in the sky.

We decided, Hey we’re already stopped. Lets get out and take a picture!! So we did.

We set up our tripod, secured the camera and pointed straight up. Now, Im not a professional at taking pictures of stars but I think my very first shot was a money maker! I set the settings I thought would capture it best and clicked the shutter. 30 second shutter felt like it was quite a long time. Especially standing on the side of the road next to a cemetery. I leaned into Jared for some warmth while we stood there quietly and patiently just letting life happen. And we enjoyed it. Together.

Life is too short. Stop and take pictures of your memories!

Megan and Robert | Wedding

The Jacobus Duo — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:57:20 +0000

Where do I even begin. We’ll start with 1. I had originally had over 100 photos starred to post on the blog and trying to condense was a night mare. 2. I love Megan and Robert to DEATH! 3. They had a super sweet bridal party who actually somewhat laughed with me…or at me. I couldn’t tell. But either way, they were LAUGHING! In all seriousness though, I really enjoyed arriving to Megan and Roberts wedding. Megan greeted me with open arms and a HUGE smile on her face. We chit chatted a little before putting on her dress and then we got started. Megan was what I like to call, the most coolest laid back bride ever. Pictures were a priority to them so they were will to do whatever I asked them to do. Well, maybe not ANYTHING but for the most part haha!

Her dress had pockets….How cool is that??

Work it mama!!

Roberto you look stunning with your flowers!

Megan was willing to lay in the grass in her dress…BEFORE the ceremony! I took good care of her though

I totally cracked a joke here…I think…

Beautiful couple…Beautiful first dance )

Personalized water bottles…totally rad!

I do realize this is probable to sweetest, yummiest, most delicious ring shot you’ve ever seen…

Sassy Pants | part 1

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:59:09 +0000

Somethings been missing. Something we feel would better define the Jacobus Duo style. Jared and I sat for hours trying to perfect our new action called Sassy Pants. Our style isn’t drastic Photoshop editing. Its subtle, simple and chic. Which in turn, Sassy Pants was the perfect name.

The photo on the left displays what comes Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC). The photo on the right displays Sassy Pants. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

We are so excited to start using Sassy Pants on a regular basis!! It gives the images exactly what we feel it should!

Geyse and Chris | Wedding

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 03:08:43 +0000

I met with my friend and favorite florist in Columbus, Tara, from Bella Couture Events. She started describing this wedding that she had coming up the first weekend in June and it just happened to be the same wedding we had! Geyse’s details were beyond describable. Actually, when you try to describe them you do them no justice. Tara did a WONDERFUL job pulling everything together and she comes highly recommended from the Jacobus Duo.

We walked into the room where Chris and Geyse were patiently yet nervously waiting. Rather than Geyse’s girlfriends helping her prepare herself for the day, Chris prepared her. And she prepped him. It was the coolest most unique thing I have ever experienced. What a sweet moment when she helped him into his Blues and he helped her step into her dress and zip it up. I love experiencing new things and this definitely topped the list of new and cool things I recommend doing for a wedding.

When I originally was selecting photos for their blog post I ended up with 118 “blog worthy” shots. I looked at the number in awe and started stressing out. How am I ever going to reduce this down to 10-15?? Well, I think I tried my best but I still feel like I’m being stingy in not showing you the full 118. If you would like to see more, their wedding slideshow is at the end.

Bella Couture Events came up with this superb design:

Im being modest by saying Geyse and Chris’s centerpieces were 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide!
