Wedding {Phil & Katrina}

This wedding was beautiful. The deep, pure, and real kind of beautiful. Phil & Katrina exchanged their vows before  a few close family members and a gorgeous blue sea on Jupiter Beach. Dave and I were so honored to have been there to capture images of something so breathtakingly precious.

We were completely swept away by how truly, madly, deeply they were in love and how amazingly kind they both were.

I hope these photos reflect just a glimpse of what we witnessed.

Mr. & Mrs. B- Thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of this amazing day!

Wedding {Ben & Sarah}

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Or maybe just me, but I am super excited to finally post some shots from the fabulous wedding of Ben & Sarah. You may remember seeing their engagement photos here.

This was a huge milestone for me because it was Jessica Lorren Photography’s very first wedding. Of course I have done weddings in the past but this was the first one since I decided to get serious about photography. Well let me tell you- I am in LOVE,  with the anticipation, the romance, the joy, the drama, the excitement, the passion, the creativity and just the fun- love it all.  I actually had the opportunity to shoot my second wedding in the same weekend as my first so stay tuned for images from that gorgeous event.

But enough about me- back to our bride and groom. They were breathtaking. Every look, every smile and every kiss  whispered a calm contentment and joy in the fact that they were uniting their lives together. I don’t even care if that sounds cheesy because it was true. Check out a few of these shots and you’ll see what I mean.

Without further ado…

Thanks to Ben & Sarah for inviting me to photograph this beautiful night! 

I also owe a HUGE thanks to my amazing husband Dave and our friend Drew for catching some amazing shots at the wedding.

The Ryans

I feel like I have known Joe & Megan Ryan forever.

Joe and I went to college together and Megan’s bro married one of my best friends. But even before any of that happened- I remember a time where a few of us were sitting at Wendy’s listening to Joe and Megan, who were “just friends” laugh about pretending to be dating to play a joke on some friends.  Well one thing led to another and now they are happily, very happily, married!

Megan is graduating college and instead of grad photos she opted for some shots of she and Joe together. We had a blast together like we always do and here are a few from our session. OH and I am shooting her entire family in a few weeks so stay tuned for that!

Love you guys and cant wait for our next shoot!

***And just for fun- you guys will never believe what happened on our shoot! Well, if you know me you will definitely believe it. I totally slipped and fell down a muddy old boat ramp trying to set up a shot! Praise God for my shootsac camera bag that kept my gear safe and sound! Go ahead, laugh.***

(thanks for the shot joe)

Mona & Co.

Mona and I have worked together for almost two years now and on Monday I had the opportunity to spend some time with her and her darling family for a shoot in Palm Beach.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.

Mona & Jorge are just totally smitten with each other, it’s very cute.

Sophie is totally adorable!

So is her lil bro Joseph!

Fave shot of the day below, Joseph taking some of his first solo steps. Look how proud he is!

Thanks Mona for letting me in on such a beautiful time in your life.

Belly: Danny & Renee

Danny & Renee Zayas are two of my favorite people.  Dave and I are just head-over-heels in love with them and excited about the upcoming birth of their first little guy, Elijah David.

I could go on for an hour about how blessed baby Eli is to be joining such an amazingly loving, talented and joyful family, but because you may already know that, I will just say that I know this kid is going to be cherished and seriously brilliant.

We found some fun spots in Palm Beach for our shoot yesterday and Renee and Danny totally worked it for my camera.  Just one more reason to love these two.

Here are just a few of the lovely couple…

and the belly.

You two are just beautiful- thanks for letting me capture that!

Cheryl & Co.

This was the last shoot of my busiest week yet! I really do just love being outside with my camera so I had a lot of fun doing each of them.  This coming week I have three more shoots and two weddings so stay tuned. This blog’s gonna be hoppin!

Anyway, Cheryl was the first-ever recipient of a Jessica Lorren gift certificate and she and her family met me in Jupiter for a session on Thursday. They were all fantastic models and we had a wonderful time!

Here are a few from our shoot- hope you enjoy!

Jim, Austin, Chantal & Cheryl-lookin good guys!

I love her look!

Mamma Hood

On Wednesday, I had the honor of doing a special shoot for my friend Rebekah Hood. She and her hubby Ben are getting ready to welcome little Josiah this summer so we decided it was time for a belly shoot. We had an awesome time shooting at some new locations I have been dying to use and she totally worked them! Let me tell you, this chick is just as fab in front of the camera as she is behind it.

Here are just a few since I said my posts this week would be brief.

Bekah dear- I just love you and I can’t wait to meet your little dude!

The Mackey Boys

This week is going to be full of new shoots to post! I am so excited about each and every one but I am going to try to make the next few posts a little abbreviated so you can see all of them without taking too much of your time. 

Yesterday I had the joy of being invited to photograph four very handsome little boys that I first met last year for their family shoot.  Caleb, Josiah, Levi & Silas met my friend Kelley and I at a little creek behind our church to do a fun shoot to celebrate Levi’s second birthday. The boys had fun catching minnows and climbing trees and Kelley and I had fun photographing them!

It was hard to decide which shots to post but this will hopefully give you a snapshot of their charm. Enjoy!

The Brunk Family

Dave and I are blessed to have so many great friends. Jared and Andrea Brunk are two of them. They are super down to earth and a lot of fun to hang with. I was really excited about this shoot because their son Noah is just adorable and has these gorgeous blue eyes that just make you melt.

We had a great time together at the beach and here are some peeks from our session:

Totally sweet! Thanks Jared and Andrea- we love you guys!
