WEDDING & LIFESTYLE CORPORATE

Join Us On Instagram!

Can I keep it real? I’m writing this a little later than planned for a couple of reasons. 1) Yesterday was Kariss and I’s 4 year wedding anniversary, and we made it a point to spend quality time together and not work. 2) Insecurities.

Am I the only one who goes through ruts of doubting the significance of my work and even lack passion? As a photographer it's so easy to compare yourself to others, or question if your stuff is any good. When I find myself asking “is it worth it”, I think back to when I was first inspired to shoot. It not only defeats doubt, but builds my confidence muscle in the process.

Kariss is a creative at heart, a free spirit, and thrives in environments she has creative freedom and control. What gets me going is considering that what I’m producing will outlive me. Legacy. Why? What good is anything I have that doesn’t benefit others? The talent I have when it comes to photography is a gift, a gift I intend to share with as many people as possible. On each side of our bed we have a wedding portrait of each of our families hanging up. We cherish the legacy of marriage our parents, grand and great parents left us. Kariss and I purposely place inspiration, and reminders of our convictions in our lives to motivate us and stay passionate in all we do. I encourage you to do the same.

Drop a 💪🏽 emoji if you've been inspired or comment below with what inspires you. How do your convictions and photography tie together? Passion is a product of inspiration and conviction. Protect those and attach them to your photography and you will always have a way out of your significance rut. -JF #pharrisphotos #reallifereallessons

Just a reminder to cozy up to your little ones before they can back talk and wiggle away. They're just so sweet at this age 😍

Hold on to your man, girl! These two gave us another reason to enjoy engagement shoots. Just look at that bliss 😍

Even at the most well-planned weddings, something is likely to go wrong. We have never been to a wedding where everything ran completely according to the timeline and went without a hitch.
.
Even in the Bible, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee where everything didn’t go as coordinated. In spite of all their planning, the bride and groom ran out of wine for everyone. The key in this story though is they invited Jesus. He was in attendance to make the difference and turned water into wine. He filled everyone’s cup with what was lacking, simply because He was invited. A wedding was the first place Jesus displayed a miracle which revealed His glory.
.
I hate to break it to you but at your wedding, things more than likely will not go as perfectly planned. The same goes for your marriage. The good news however is if you invite Jesus into your wedding and your marriage, not only will he fill your cup with what is lacking and unplanned for, but He will show His glory as you stay focused on Him through both your wedding day and in marriage. #mondaysareformarraiges#afterthewedding

Hey yall, Josh here! As Kariss announced Monday, we will be sharing with all of our brides and future brides ways to have a great marriage and not just a magazine worthy wedding (might as well have both right!?) but FRIDAYS ARE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS! Are there any creatives out there that could use some encouragement, and tangible tips to keep going and achieve your goals? If so drop a 📷 emoji! Every Friday, I will be sharing about our journey, photography & business strategies, and how we’ve been able to live the dream with a lot of faith and a couple of cameras. Our motivation is to be a blessing to growing photographers who could use some help finding their way. It’s all about growth! We will also be dropping videos (check our story, IGTV, and YouTube) and other practical resources, so go ahead and drop your questions below and we will be sure to answer them when we record our next show! Oh yea…for all of you who have been asking…a workshop is coming soon! 🤯🤷🏽‍♂️✌🏽#PharrisPhotos #RealLifeRealLessons

They've had each other's backs since college. It's safe to say, we covered all of our bases on this one 😏😂⚾️

Now this is what we call a statement piece! Going from Miss to Mrs. in true fashion.

In our time shooting weddings together we have photographed 130+ weddings (not including engagement sessions and families). We have played an integral part in preserving the wedding day memories of so many married couples. Having been married for 4 years and having two kids, we know and understand marriage is much more than the wedding day. Beautiful images are great to look back on, but your marriage is an every day effort. Every Monday starting today, we will share an encouragement for engaged couples getting ready for not only the wedding day but for the real work that begins the day you say I do. Stay tuned!
