Bonnyville, Alberta – Jena & Chad’s Capture Love engagement session

Posted By Jennifer on February 27, 2010

Bonnyville, Alberta couple Jena and Chad came out to the studio on February 13 for their engagement session. We froze a little, but I think it was worth it!

Lloydminster, Alberta maternity photographer – Brittiany’s belly

Posted By Jennifer on February 25, 2010

Playing catch up – this session was shot January 30!

Brittiany, Gerald and Bryanna (and Aidan, who accounts for the bump!) came out to the studio for some belly photos. We had so much fun! Gerald is also a photographer – he is Fordge Studios in Lloydminster. I was supposed to shoot their wedding this past November, but the stinkers went and eloped in Vegas and then got pregnant within a couple of months, so we decided to roll with it and do a maternity session instead!

At a loss [personal]

Posted By Jennifer on February 25, 2010

You may have noticed a distinct lack of blog posts around here lately. All I can say is that it’s been a hell of a month – and I don’t mean that in a positive way at all.

My dear father-in-law went into the hospital on the first Sunday of this month and didn’t come back out. He passed away on the 17th. He was 79 years old. The funeral was on Tuesday.

I won’t talk about it beyond that; I’m talked right out and emotionally drained. I’ve continued to work as much as I was able, but being there to support my husband and my mother-in-law and my daughter has been my priority these past few weeks and will continue to be my priority for the next little while.

e-mail is the best way to get me – jjacula@mcsnet.ca – we are in and out of the house, so the phone doesn’t always get answered.

Thank you for your support, patience and understanding! We’ll get back to the business of living soon.

Crazy Awesome Wedding Photography Giveaway!

The official press release:

Lakeland photographer to make a bride’s dream come true

Almost every woman dreams about her future wedding – the dress, the cake, the ceremony, the handsome groom, the first dance. What immortalizes those moments, when they happen, is photography.
Jennifer Jacula of Jennifer Jacula Photography, a studio located between Vermilion and Elk Point, Alberta, is giving one lucky couple their wedding memories – free of charge.
“For the past three years, I’ve been lucky to photograph amazing weddings for my wonderful clients. To be chosen as the photographer who will capture your memories for you, forever – that’s a huge honour, and I’m so fortunate to be able to do this as my career and my passion. I wanted the chance to give back,” said Jacula.
In conjunction with Weddings on the Border, Lloydminster’s largest bridal showcase (taking place March 13, 2010 at Lakeland College in Lloydminster), Jacula is holding a contest to award one lucky couple wedding photography coverage with a package worth over $3,000.
“The winning couple will receive a Capture Love engagement session, a disc of high-resolution images from their engagement session, 200 km of complimentary mileage, four hours of coverage on their wedding day and a disc of high-resolution images from their wedding day,” said Jacula.
To enter the contest, couples must submit an entry form, which is available at www.weddingsontheborder.com and www.jenniferjacula.com. Five finalists will be selected by a panel of judges and will be invited to attend Weddings on the Border to find out if they are the lucky couple chosen to win.
“I want to receive entries from couples who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford quality professional photography,” said Jacula. “I think photography is one of the most important parts of the wedding day – and once the wedding is over, photos are all you have left to remember your amazing day by. Those photos are what future generations will have to look at, to see what you were like on the day you got married. It’s more than just wedding photography – it’s documenting your family history.”
The four runners-up won’t go home empty-handed, either – Jacula has something planned for them.
“I’ll be gifting the runners-up with some amazing sessions as well – Capture Love engagement sessions or trash the dress sessions, along with gift cards to be put towards products afterwards,” said Jacula.
In total, Jacula is planning on giving away nearly $4,500 in photography and products. Entries must be received by midnight on March 6, 2010.
