Behind the Lens: Crafting Authentic Wedding Stories with Pat Brogan

Every wedding is filled with moments—big and small—that shape the story of the day. Some are planned, some unfold naturally, and all of them deserve to be captured in a way that feels real. To get a closer look at how we approach wedding storytelling, we sat down with Pat

Pop-Up Weddings: Love in the Time of Trespassing

Pop-up weddings are shaking up the traditional nuptial scene, blending the surprise of a flash mob with the romance of a wedding. Imagine saying ‘I do’ amidst the everyday bustle of a coffee shop or between the shelves of a craft store. These weddings defy the norm, often foregoing formal

Photographer Spotlight: Chloe

Chloe always finds something a little extra special in a session. Whether it’s silliness bursting out of a child in a moment of play with their parents, or the tenderness of a hug from grandma on a wedding day, Chloe always sees and captures it with a perspective that brings

Jenn & Josh: Southern Charm & Texas Engagement

Have I mentioned we love traveling? Well, we do!

JPG’s Whirlwind Week! *ISPWP WEDDING AWARDS*

Last week was an exciting one at JPG. Between being globally recognized by over 300 publications and news outlets like Cosmo, Us Weekly, and Good Morning America, and keeping up with our usual busy wedding season, we definitely had our hands full.  In the entrepreneurial spirit of wedding photojournalists, however, we still managed
