Bowling Green Weddings | Jennifer Creed Photographer bio picture
  • Welcome to our blog!

    Hello friends! Thanks for taking the time to check out our blog. We want this to be a place where you feel like you can snuggle up with a cup of coffee and relax. We want our images to bring forth emotion, and for our stories to reach out to you.

    We are a husband and wife wedding photography team who love people, love love, and love creating images! We love to hear your stories, and have a ton of fun capturing your beautiful personalities.

    Here you will find images from past events and sessions, vendor spotlights of our favorite vendors, wedding inspiration, and random musings on life. Currently, I (Jen) am the primary contributer to the blog, but it's one of my goals to convince Chris to blog some this year as well!

    Have a beautiful day!

Product Spotlight | Bowling Green Wedding Photographers

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me spazzing out about a client coffeetable album we got in recently! We LOVE our album company, and get so excited when our clients order albums. Lindsay picked out a new fabric that I hadn’t yet seen a swatch for, and when it came in, I was pretty much jumping up and down :) I’m in love! Lindsay and Gerrit are currently living in England, so I had to keep these images under wraps until she got it. But now is time to share!

This is an 8×8, 31 spread album, and it is gorgeous! Super thick pages lay flat when open, and the texture of the cover is to die for. There’s also an image comparing it to my phone, to give an idea of how tall it is haha.

And here are a few of my favorite spreads! (Lots of black and white…I was loving it for this wedding! And the borders aren’t actually printed, just to separate the white background of the spread from the blog background.)

Susannah - ohmygosh! looove the album! Gorgeous color and adorable size! So fun!March 15, 2010 – 3:13 pm

brittney - Is it okay that I get jealous that we didn’t have you as our wedding photographer? Because I totally do. :) March 15, 2010 – 7:03 pm

Becka @Studio222 Photography - That fabric is amazing! I’ve never seen it before. So pretty.March 17, 2010 – 1:29 pm

Ky Engagement Photography | Leigh and Jacob

So if you’ve read my blog much, you know that I LOVE engagement sessions! Fav.o.rite. It’s such a fabulous time to get to know a couple, and with all kinds of time to get creative without any time constraints (like on a wedding day). I also love the opportunity to get to know a couple better, and for them to get a better idea of how we shoot before the wedding day.

Well, today we got to do a session with some very dear friends of ours, who we already know quite well, and who we are so excited for! Leigh and Jacob are both fabulously talented vocalists, and Jacob is currently studying music ministry (and other things…I can never remember exactly what haha) at Baylor University. They are two of the sweetest people ever, and we (and all of our other friends!) were so happy when they started dating and then got engaged :) I’m a huge fan haha.

The weather has been super on and off the last few days, so we weren’t quite sure what today was going to look like. We ended up with some awesome moody, overcast skies today and had a blast experimenting with a little bit of an edgier feel than the usual for us!

So fun :) Pretty sure we all spent most of the session laughing!

I just LOVE this one. Definitely had one of those jumping up and down moments after I took it….photographers, you know what I’m talking about!

So, wanna know what’s really stinking awesome? Leigh MADE that sweater she has on! How incredible is that?!

FAVORITE!

This one is Chris’s favorite. He says it looks like Alice in Wonderland haha.

Just a few of our favorites! Thanks for hanging out with us today, Jacob and Leigh! We love you all, and can’t wait for your wedding!

Everyone have a fantastic rest of the weekend :)

Bowling Green, Ky | Headshots | Meghan M.

Today was a blessing.

Today, I got to shoot some headshots for my lovely friend Meghan. Meghan has ALWAYS been one of my biggest supporters, and such an amazing friend! You’ve seen her on here several times before :) And she is just rocking out at life right now! It is so so so great to see your friends work so hard and chase after their dreams. Later this summer, Meg is planning on moving to Orlando to audition for Disney and work with a record label (um, amazing!), so she needed some headshots! This has been a dream of hers for just about as long as I’ve known her, and I am SO pumped to see where life takes her! She also had another friend of ours, Caitlin of Caitlin Denman Photography do some headshots for her so she would have lots of variety. (Check it out here!) So fun :)

And here are two of my favorites….she’s so gorgeous!

I <3 her smile!

Thanks for checking these out, everyone! Meghan, I love you and am so so so excited for you :) Remember me when you’re famous ;-)

Have a wonderful evening, lovelies!

The WKU Music Department | Giving Back

Today I’m super excited to show you some images from a personal project I’ve been working on since last fall. As many of you know, my degree is actually in music, from Western Kentucky University. Music was a huge, huge part of my life for a really long time. So even though I decided about half way through college that I didn’t want to teach music, it was kind of hard just to stop being around music all together. I wanted to do something to give back a little bit to the community, and particularly to the music department. For the part it played in my personal life, Chris’s life (he’s also a musician…a man of many talents :) ), and the many ways they enrich the lives of the people of Bowling Green. There are really some phenomenal musicians and people that are involved with the music department, and I am proud to know many of them!

So, it became my goal to document activities through the music department so they would have some updated photos to use for recruiting and promotion (instead of pictures of people who graduated before I even started at WKU haha). I had so much fun, and highly encourage you to check out some performances, and support the arts. Arts education is SO SO important…I could talk about it forever. But I won’t here haha.

Presenting some of my favorites…featuring (in no particular order) the Big Red Marching Band (directed by Dr. Jeff Bright), the WKU Symphonic Band (directed by Dr. Gary Schallert and featuring Lee Blakeman), the WKU Chorale (directed by Dr. Paul Hondorp, and featuring Dr. Wayne Pope and Dr. Liza Kelly), the WKU Jazz Band (directed by Dr. Marshall Scott, and featuring Vince DiMartino and Dr. Wayne Pope), the Bowling Green-Western Chamber Singers, Chorale, and Chamber Orchestra (directed by Dr. Paul Hondorp and Dr. Bill Scott), the lovely ladies of the Treblemakers, and the handsome men (including my husband!) of the Redshirts!  Whew! Enjoy :) (Click thumbnails to see images larger)

Chris - You did an awesome job with this Jen! I really hope to see some of the images around FAC when we come back to visit!March 10, 2010 – 6:57 am
