katherine and paul, montecito, ca
venue: san ysidro ranch
dress: mrs. zoepf’s very own handmade bridal gown
i’m falling in love with these intimate weddings i have had the luck to shoot a bunch of lately. katherine and paul’s was no exception. I love the unique opportunity tiny weddings present to photograph every guest.
katherine is a freelance journalist who has spent a good amount of time in the middle east writing for such agencies as the new york times, the international herald tribune and the new york times magazine and working with some of the best photojournalists in the world.
she was very clear she had very little interest in shots of her dress hanging, her shoes shot at 1.4, or even the rings. her day was about not about details, it was about the sacred commitment her and paul were making to eachother that gorgeous saturday and celebrating with family and friends. she and paul both have wonderful families. i was so honored to document these few hours. thank you katherine and paul for putting it all back into perspective for me.
We love your work, Jen–thank you so much again for making the time to shoot our wedding at such short notice! Paul and I have been looking through your beautiful photos and can’t stop talking about what a wonderful job you did. You drew everyone out so well–and this was a famously camera-shy crowd! Thank you so much again.
oh wow Rau. You did it again. Amazing! What artistic & beautiful shots!

Wild, wild stuff!! A friend once told me that “if the world ever got an enima, it would go in at Trona…” Truly amazing how you capture such beauty from such a depressed place. Well done Jen!

wake up its christmas!
no mom should have to drag their own kid out of bed on christmas morning but i do, every year!
fox will hate me for this picture some day but this is what he looks like down the barrel of a 35 1 sec after waking up . . .
less than excited i think . . .
Trust me, he woke up fast.
moving away . . .
is always hard. you build a life and then you pick up and move it and all its working parts. but when family is the most important thing in the world to you, you have baby number four on the way and moving means cutting dads commute by 2-3 hours each day, you do it.
i will miss all you so very very much and will be an often guest room crasher.
Tell them “so long” for Pam and me, Jen. They are a great family.
They are gorgeous pictures, I love them. Thank you for the sweet words too. You have me in tears, you are welcome to visit anytime. I would love that.
Hey Jen!! Beautiful family. and gorgeous images…. wish I could figure out your technique 
i love these people, too. and that lucy! geez man, is she gorgeous or what?
5 hour smoked and slow roasted carolina pulled pork, corn and grits au gratin with bacon and onion rings, romaine wedge salad with blue cheese , and brown sugar caramel souffle . . .
not as pretty as fox’s awesome holiday images but sooo delish had to blog this fabulousness. email for recipes. the corn and grits au gratin was out of this world.
The love is so evident in these photographs! It looked like an amazing day to have shared in..
