Day 26: Jenny Schartner

I could not thank Jenny enough if I tried. She is the amazing and gracious photographer who took our wedding pictures.

This is an example of how wonderful her photography is:

When I say she took our wedding pictures, I really mean that she gave us our wedding pictures. Last year Jenny hosted a competition for FREE wedding photography. She asked for nominations on her website and then chose two couples for people to vote on. We were nominated by several friends and picked as one of the couples for the contest. Jenny published our "story" on her website and then we waited (not very patiently) for the results.  We ended up winning the contest and Jenny gave us FREE WEDDING PHOTOGRAHPY!!

FREE!! Can you believe it? I don't know if any of you have gotten married recently, but good wedding photography is really expensive these days. With the financial situation our families were in we knew we would be unable to afford a truly great photographer. The Lord blessed us incredibly by bringing Jenny and her competition into our lives. Pictures from your wedding are really the only souvenir you have from your wedding. Pictures are the only thing that capture your memories.

Jenny gave us amazing wedding photos. We will hang these photos in our home forever. These pictures will be treasured by our kids, grandkids, and generations to come. Our family has been so blessed by this gift. Words cannot describe the effect this gift has had on our lives.

Jenny is so much fun! She is super talented, kind, funny, and makes you feel so at ease around the camera. We had a blast taking pictures with her!

There are two things you notice immediately about Jenny. 1) She has a true joy in her heart because of her relationship with Jesus. It is extremely evident in her life. She is a faithful servant to God. 2) She is a great mom and wife. She loves her family so very much. It is so sweet to see her interact with her family. You can tell just from their family pictures that she is a great mom! I think that is awesome. I love that Jenny has her priorities in life so in line. She is a great role model for other Christian women. I respect her  so much.

If you are reading this blog and you or anyone you know needs photography I beg you to loot at Jenny's website: www.youreventscaptured.com
Trust me! You will not regret choosing Jenny as a photographer!


Jenny,

I cannot tell you how you have blessed our lives. You have such a generous heart and I am so very appreciative of it. "Thank you" does not cut it. I will always be touched by your kindness and compassion for others. You are not only a gifted photographer, but you are also a sincere follower of God. It is so evident in your life. Thank you for being a role model for other women. I thank you so much for the gift you have given to us and hope someday I have an opportunity to pay such a blessing forward.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Darr
