Snapshots of Us

Thumbs up all around for becoming fiancées.

No doubt I said Yes! And then we smiled and laughed and cried with joy.

A birthday hike requires a birthday crown - Great Falls Park was a beaut in December, but nothing shined quite as bright as the star studded birthday boy 😉 (Happy BDay, Justin!).

Christmastime 2025 - the Sunday after our engagement.

The annual Jenna, now J&J, tradition of posing in your Christmas underwear.

Holiday family gatherings! Jenna's sister and brother-in-law meet Justin's family.

Tubing fun for Jewel’s (Justin’s sister) 30th birthday!

Embracing our childhood like spirits together is one of our favorite things - cheers to the seesaw.

WICKED! on Broadway during a trip to NYC over Veterans Weekend.

Who doesn’t love a good mirror selfie?

Our smitten hearts were in LOVE with this New York street art.

The famous Bow Bridge - we saw so many weddings the day we walked through Central Park!

Up close and personal with Lady Liberty.

Exploring Acadia National Park for Jenna’s birthday. Had lots of fun camping and hiking!

Sunrise sun moments along the Maine coast - always take a moment to thank the sun for her warmth and light.

Fall leaves and our loves - of course, we’re smiling.

Putting the double hammock to good use.

An ode to Justin’s first grey hair - was an important milestone in our relationship. 😉

Our favorite hand to hold. A candid shot while out to dinner in DC that looks like an engagement photo.

James Taylor at Wolf Trap with 2 of the BEST ladies (Jenna's mom and her mom's best friend, who was referred to as the Hoobler kids other mom when they were kids).

Sunflower picking in the biggest fields we’ve ever seen 🌻😍

Labor Day trip to good ole Grand Junction.

Justin caught his 1st fish! And on a fly rod. What a day! What a catch (in so many ways)!

Hiking in Ouray and soaking up the glory of God’s creation in Colorado.

Celebrating Benji (Jenna’s brother) and Anna’s wedding together summer 2024. When Justin met the Hoobler family for the 1st time!

Rainer National Park - where Jenna’s brother got married. Made some time to explore and spend time with family all while celebrating the newlyweds!

A good (and very caffeinated) time was had taking latte art lessons

We’re good at making each other laugh - it usually involves being silly. Cheers to balancing nose spoons.

Watermelon hats at the beach - another example of easy laughter.

Rock climbing - a new hobby we’ve fostered together.

A surprise trip to explore Annapolis! Boat tour, fresh oysters, matching tie dye…memories made. Justin also has Jenna rooting for Penn State, his alma mater (one of his life missions now complete).

Photo proof Justin is now a cat person. Jenna’s mission in life is complete.

Jenna’s mom and grandma use to go to antique shops and pose in old hats. We found ourselves in a shop one day and embraced a family tradition.

Visiting Jenna’s Aunt and cousins to see her cousin, Coco’s, dance recital. Spurred stories of Justin’s good ole dance days too.

Justin’s 1st backpacking trip-ended with him looking forward to the next! (Woot! music to Jenna’s outdoor adventuring soul). Explored Shenandoah in the Spring-pure glory. Justin’s sister came too!

Easter - Celebrating the powerful gift of Jesus’ resurrection together.

We have loved finding and exploring pockets of nature around DC with each other.

Found sunglasses that accurately reflected outwardly all the love we were feeling for each other - this is shortly after we started dating.

An infamous photo in our families - Pretended we were engaged aaaand maybe married 1 month into dating after we happened to pass by a courthouse.

Our first photo together! 💜 We are already starry eyed.
