Sumner + Nick | A Dream Wedding at The Tapestry House by Wedgewood Weddings

, , ,

Some weddings stick with you forever — and Sumner (or “Sunny,” as her friends call her) and Nick’s wedding day at The Tapestry House by Wedgewood Weddings in Colorado is one we won’t soon forget. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this day was going to be special — full of personality, creativity, and so much love.

The morning started with the girls getting ready in the most charming little house right next to the venue, where the air was buzzing with excitement, happy tears, and plenty of laughter. Meanwhile, the guys were living it up in what might be the coolest “bachelor pad” AirBNB ever — complete with a bar in the downstairs portion. It was the perfect space for the guys to hang out, share a drink, and relax before the festivities kicked off.

Sunny’s attention to detail blew us away. She brought all sorts of incredible thrifted décor to make the day uniquely hers — a bold red loveseat, a vintage wicker chair, and even enough mugs to fill a mug wall for guests to take home as gifts. Every corner of the venue felt personal and intentional, telling the story of who Sunny and Nick are as a couple.

Their first look took place in the heart of The Tapestry House’s garden, where they stood under the towering trees and read their vows to each other privately. It was one of the most emotional and intimate moments of the entire day, and we were honored to capture it.

The outdoor ceremony was simply beautiful. Friends and family surrounded them as they said “I do,” with the historic Tapestry House behind them and the Colorado sky overhead.

As the sun set, everyone moved into the reception space for an evening of celebration. There was dancing, laughter, and plenty of heartfelt toasts. One moment that brought us to tears was when Sunny and Nick took time during their own toast to personally thank us. It’s moments like that that remind us why we do what we do — to capture memories that mean the world to our couples.

The staff at The Tapestry House deserve a round of applause. Their professionalism and care made the day flow effortlessly, allowing everyone — including Sunny and Nick — to simply enjoy the celebration.

Sunny and Nick, your wedding day was pure magic, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have been there to document it all. The love you two share is inspiring, and we know your story is just getting started.

Ashley & Nick’s Engagement Session – A Love Story Born from the Internet

, ,

Sometimes, the most unexpected moments lead to the best connections. That’s exactly how we met Ashley and Nick, a wonderful couple who stumbled upon J.R. Poole Photography in the most modern way possible—through TikTok!

Ashley first noticed us when she saw a comment we left about how we include all-day coverage to ensure no part of a wedding day goes undocumented. That little detail caught her eye, leading her to click on our profile. From there, she fell in love with our work and was thrilled to discover that we’re based in Arizona—an absolute win since she and Nick are tying the knot in Scottsdale!

We had the absolute pleasure of capturing Ashley and Nick’s engagement session in the beautiful surroundings of Star Tower in Glendale, the very community where they live. Engagement sessions are always special, but there’s something truly unique about photographing a couple in the place they call home. Their session was more than just a collection of beautiful images; it was a celebration of their love, their first home together, and the Arizona landscape that they adore.

From walking along their community lake to exploring the breathtaking desert terrain, every moment felt like a perfect reflection of Ashley and Nick’s journey. And of course, we couldn’t miss the chance to include their fur family! Getting to meet (and pet!) their beautiful cat and dog was a highlight of the session, making it all the more personal and heartfelt.

But what made this session truly unforgettable was Ashley and Nick themselves. They are the kind of people who make you feel like old friends from the moment you meet. Their warmth, humor, and kindness turned what could have been just another engagement session into an evening filled with laughter and genuine connection. By the end of it, we felt like we had known them forever.

It’s amazing to think that all of this started from a simple comment on TikTok. The internet may be a strange place sometimes, but in this case, it led us to an incredible couple whose wedding day we cannot wait to document. Ashley and Nick, thank you for letting us capture this special chapter in your lives—we already know your big day in Scottsdale is going to be nothing short of magical!

At J. R. Poole Photography, we love turning life’s most special moments into memories that last forever. Recently, we had the honor of spending a magical weekend with Jolea and Cameron in Upstate New York to capture their engagement photos at Highland Park in Rochester. Their timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as the famous Lilac Festival was in full swing, offering stunning backdrops of blooming lilacs and vibrant spring colors.

One of the highlights of the weekend was staying at Jolea and Cameron’s home, where we were able to connect on a personal level before heading out for their engagement shoot. It made the experience feel intimate and relaxed perfect for creating natural, candid photos.

For this shoot, Jolea looked radiant in her Rafina dress from Reformation, its flowy elegance complementing the natural beauty around us. The soft pastels of her dress harmonized beautifully with the blooming lilacs, creating the perfect blend of style and scenery. We also made sure to capture the couple’s fur baby, Mabel, their adorable German Shorthair Pointer, who added even more personality to their session. Including pets in engagement photos is always a special touch, and Mabel’s playful energy made for a truly heartwarming moment!

Highland Park was the ideal setting, known for its beautiful landscapes and the renowned Lilac Festival, which attracts visitors from all over. It felt like the perfect celebration of Jolea and Cameron’s love story, blending the vibrancy of spring with the joy of their engagement.
