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!!!

Praise you in this storm

I tossed one end of the blanket up into the air while keeping a tight grasp on the end closest to me. I let the blanket gently fall back down to earth to create a soft and itch-free laying spot for me on the grass. I kicked off my sandals, hopped onto the blanket and fell onto my back tucking my fore arms under my head for pillow support. Glancing up into the sky I watched as the storm moved closer in. From my expertise in predicting the weather it was about 10 minutes from opening the flood gates onto me. While laying under the billowing gray clouds my mind started to jump from thought to thought. I thought of how lucky I was to have over-come my fear of storms so I could now fully embrace the feeling of laying in the grass watching it roll in. I thought of how lucky I was to have a husband who is always with me in everything I do and go through. I thought of my family and how things don’t always work out how you expect them to…but its okay. I thought of the wonderful times Ive been experiencing with friends this summer at the pool. But most importantly I thought of love.

Jared hopped off the swing that was hanging from the oak tree. What a crafty husband I have. I love the country styled swing he built for me. With a beverage to relax him from the day in one hand he supported his body weight with the other to plop down next to me on the blanket. Right there. In that moment. Was perfection. I lifted my head to his thigh for better support and we both gazed up into the on coming-thunder baring-storm. We glanced at each other with little smirks and both commented on how beautiful this moment was. We talked about our future together and all the goals in life we both wanted to accomplish. We joked about the day and how we accidentally had just walked 4 miles by getting lost in our new neighborhood. Then comes Dash. Dash was jealous that his mommy and daddy were having a moment of time with just each other to cuddle with. He nudged himself as close as he could into the cracks between us afraid of being left out. Yes Dash, we see you there. We started laughing some more when I began feeling little drops of rain on my forehead. We hopped up quickly and looked out into the wall of rain that was roaring our way. Gathering up our blankets and tossing them into the porch the rain fell down harder. This time it didn’t feel like sprinkles it felt like little BB pellets. We hurried ourselves to make it under some shelter before we got too wet. And right at that moment we stopped. And kissed in the rain….

Memorial Night Fun!!

The sun was out, clouds were scarce and the wind was blowing a perfect 5mph. “Lets make a home made drive in movie tonight!”, I casually mentioned to Jared over a giant plate of Mexican cuisine. In agreement he texted his brother and I texted the girls. We got our family/gang together for a VERY impromptu cookout and movie night. As Jared was setting up the projector on the outside of the house, Doug was char-grillin’ us up some burgers. And boy do I mean CHAR-GRILLED!!! We all grabbed a burger and a beverage and sprawled out on the blankets and lawn chairs.

Stranger than Fiction was the film of choice and boy was it a good choice. We all sat there laughing and poking fun and just simply enjoying life outside in the country. I had a moment of excitement roll through me as I thought about how important it is to spend fun quality time with your family. Away from work, away from facebook and away from general “life”. We were livin’ and it was great. The Jacobus clan never fails to make fun memories with each other and it was great to add this to the memory bank. If you find that I don’t update as much, or you don’t find me on facebook as much, its because I’m out livin’ life how it is meant to be lived. Free, fun and in love!

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!

Whitney and Doug | Married

The Jacobus Duo — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:31:34 +0000

I could go way back when and tell you the story of how Whitney and I met. I wont. But lets just say it involved pig tails, dandelion picking and T-ball. My brother in law, Doug, was chatting with Jared and I one night and he began to tell us about this girl he ran into from High School! With curious ears Jared and I (mostly me) began asking multiple questions about this gal that Doug had become smitten with. Her name was Whitney Sherman. He continued to tell us how he really enjoyed hanging out with her. They never hung out in High School nor did they ever really speak to each other. About three months rolled by (I think) and it was around Christmas time when Doug and Whitney announced they were going to get married. How excited were we?? Doug ACTUALLY found someone!! Like for real! Just kidding Dougal, you know I love you. When Doug and Whitney approached Jared and I and asked us if we wanted to be in the wedding or shoot it my mind over flowed with this and that theories. On one hand it definitely would be nice to actually attend a wedding. On the other hand I wouldn’t be able to contain my voice of opinion when it came to another photographer directing. I simply replied…I’ll shoot!! Jared had no choice. Being Doug’s brother it was a given he was going to be a Groomsmen. This made the experience super fun for me. I got to shoot my hubby in a tux!!

A year and half rolled by. The day was finally here. When I first saw Whitney on her wedding day she was so incredibly calm. Whitney has a laid back personality anyways but she was extra laid back that morning. Doug was really calm too. The day breezed by as scheduled and it couldn’t have been more beautiful.

Thank you Doug and Whitney for having me be apart of your lives and the biggest day of your life thus far. I love you both very much and I cant wait to see how our families all grow up together.

Whitneys dress came from Bella Laccio Bridal in uptown Westerville!

Kari | Trash the dress

The Jacobus Duo — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:10:23 +0000

Trash the dress. Its happened again! This time? We went BRIDESMAID style! Kari’s sister got married a while ago and found no more use for the dress she wore in the wedding. So what did she do? TRASHED IT! We had so much fun working with Kari. She was a super trooper laying in ice cold water and hiking through the woods!

If you are interested in trashing your wedding or bridesmaid dress please let us know! We’d love to shoot you going all out and crazy!!
