About 365 days of marriage

I started this blog in April of 2011. At the time, Bret and I were wedding photographers and it was a way to share how marriage is more about the day to day and so much more than the wedding day itself. For about 5 years, I blogged about the joys and sorrows of the Christian walk, marriage, work, family and friends. I’ve blogged every day since a few weeks after I started. In May of 2015, we photographed our last wedding. Now, I have become passionate about simplicity, particularly in marriage, Christianity, business, travel and life. For a number of reasons, we have become minimalists. I’ve found that having simplicity makes life so much deeper, refreshing and joyful. I hope that this blog will help others see the benefits of living simply.

Day 887 – Bel Air Maryland Wedding Photographers – 7 Year Anniversary Celebration

Today we continue our celebration with the Bawroski Wedding. John and Kayla were married on July 17, 2010 at the Liriodendron. Their caterer was Dean and Brown Catering Company. Today is their Day 516.

Here is what they said about us:
“Jennilyn and Bret were our favorite vendor to work with and even calling them “vendors” is a disservice to the great friendship we formed. They met with us several times before and after the wedding and each time it felt like hanging out with old friends. I constantly look at the pictures online and am amazed each time I look through them. Not only were our formal shots amazing but the candid ones were awesome! My husband, John, too was very happy to see a beautiful picture of him kissing his mother on her forehead (which he only did once, I might add) during their dance. I don’t know who, but Jennilyn or Bret captured that moment perfectly even though it probably only lasted a second. We really were blessed to learn about Jennilyn from John’s sister and I don’t know what we would have done without them. They were really great photographers and friends, too. They were close enough to us to know us better than we knew ourselves — really. After about half of the formal shots were done, John and I were ready to call it quits. It was so hot!! But Jennilyn and Bret made us keep taking pictures and I am so, so thankful for that because they caught some really beautiful moments. I could go on and on about these two but I have a feeling Jennilyn has limited web space as I’m sure more and more testimonials will be coming in!! I highly recommend Jennilyn and Bret. They are talented, caring and friendly!”

Day 886 – Gooseberry Beach Rhode Island Wedding Photographers – 7 Year Anniversary Celebration

Today we continue our celebration with the Moore Wedding. Chris and Bridget were married on July 10, 2010 at Gooseberry Beach in Rhode Island. Today is their Day 522.

Here is what they had to say about us:
“Looking back on our wedding day, my husband and I both agreed that Jen was the best of all the wedding professionals we had working for us at our wedding. We hardly ever noticed they were there taking pictures and they captured everything about our special day! She captured an amazing sunset for us that we will always remember. We recommend Faces by Jen to all of our friends!”

Bridget Moore is the owner of K&B Bridals and Event Planning in Bel Air (and also one of our recommended vendors).
It was a honor to photograph a fellow vendor’s wedding.
