The only way to describe this day is to say it was simply magical.

This wedding is definitely, without a doubt, one of my favorites - ever. 

Jen & Tyler invited me to capture their perfectly autumnal wedding last year in Charlottesville. As you'll see, it was a beautiful day. Full beautiful details, full of light. 

What I remember most though, is how this day was full (brimming, overflowing) with love.  These two radiate with endearing spirits and the evidence was in the miles traveled and joy shared by all those present for their day.

JB Ward Photography has moved!

It has been an exciting, whirl-wind past few months as my husband and I expatriated to Germany. We are enjoying getting settled in here and I look forward to the new and different opportunities this location brings.

Looking to elope in Europe? Know someone getting married abroad? Dreamed of a shoot on Spanish beaches, on the streets of Paris, the coast of Italy?  Don't hesitate to inquire.  I will be taking on limited commissions as I learn a new land, new language and essentially a new way of life.

I'm looking forward to where this adventure takes my photography and the new challenges I'll face. I look forward to completing personal projects and dreaming up styled shoots.

Of course, as US dates become available they will be shared and posted.

So, will you? Journey with me?

I can't even begin to talk about how much this sweet friend means to me!  Jen surely is a friend I'll have for life. We can make each other laugh (ugly laugh, until we're crying) and cry (ugly cry until we're laughing).  We can chit-chat and we can talk about the deep stuff.  

Jen has an absolutely beautiful family - they are Christ centered, loving, fun, genuine, and simply a joy to be around. If I have daughters some day, I hope they grow up as sweet and smart as these girls.

I loved, loved, loved getting to photograph this family.  Jen told me that after the shoot, when they would drive by the location their family would all talk about how great a day it was. Talk about the memories they made there. This was before I even delivered the images.

That alone validates why I do what I do, and how I do it. I never look at this job as simply taking pictures. I want every person I encounter as a client to feel like their session is for making memories. That at the end of 2 hours they already walk away with images of love burned on their hearts. I simply want to add the tangible illustration to those memories. 

So, thank you Rawlings family. Thank you for letting me illustrate your memories.

Had the opportunity to photograph these two beautiful twin sisters for their model portfolio. 

Here's a few of my favorites.
