Megan and Mike | Wedding at The Westin Hotel

The Jacobus Duo — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 23:50:00 +0000

Anytime I walk into a wedding and immediately see J.Crew dresses, bags, totes, shoes, etc…I get all googly!! <–Did I just make up that word??

My experience with Megan and Mike was not the least bit boring. With Megans extreme class, hospitality and genuiness and Mike’s goofy, loving and “big kid” type personality I knew I wasnt going to have a bad day. Megan and Mike did a winter time engagement session and needless to say…it was COLD! Like COOOOOOOLD. Im so glad we did it though becuase their wedding was HOT. I love having the contrast in themes too. From snowball fights to an elegant laid back party, Megan and Mike gave ME such a wonderful creative experience!

Peanut butter and banana pancake

The Jacobus Duo — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:12:51 +0000

A lot comes from the month of December. Cookies, dinners, parties, more cookies and OH what do you know….MORE COOKIES!!!! For those who follow our blog you know that Jared and I hired a personal trainer (Jake) a couple of months ago. Well, Jake expects me to lose 5 pounds this month. Jake, will definitely get his 5 pounds from me. Whether it be losing or gaining. There will definitely be a 5 pounds change in me!!

Sugar. Check. Brown Sugar. Check Flour. Check. Vanilla. Check. Baking soda……as I walked away from my recipe to find my baking soda a specific memory memory popped into my head. As I pulled the memory out of my memory jail cell, I started to chuckle to myself. Let me elaborate.

The setting is my parents cozy, country decorated home. Hannah (my little sister) and I were home alone. I, about 12 and Hannah about 10. I’m hungry, she’s hungry. We decided to make ourselves some pancakes from scratch. I pulled out my moms 100+ year old Betty Crocker cookbook and found the delicious fluffy pancake recipe. As I’m follow directions I come to baking powder. I mozy my way over to the baking cabinet and pull down, what I thought was baking powder. I measure it out and throw in the recommended amount needed. Once the batter is mixed I start frying up my pancakes. Once they are done I yell for my little sister to come in and enjoy this wonderful, made with love, pancake lunch. We smothered our butter, peanut butter, bananas and syrup on them ready to feast. We both decided to try them at the same time so that we would both let out the same reaction. It was the same reaction alright!! We both turn to each other, cheeks popping out from the huge bites we has just taken with a disgusted-oh-my-gosh-kind of look. Spitting out what we had just shoved into our mouths we both let out a “this is HORRIBLE’” shriek. Turns out I had tossed in baking soda rather than baking powder. The two are definitely not similar in any way! If you haven’t made this mistake before, I recommend being very careful in NOT making it. Or, 10 years later, you’ll be telling a story like I have on your new social networking site.

Jared and I are shooting Jenny and Kyles wedding today! Its supposed to be a high of a good ‘ol 28 degrees. Days like today make me wish I lived down south. Or at least had a home down there for the winter season!

Here is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s blog post!

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.

Jenny and Kyle | Engagements!

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??

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!
