welcome to my new blogsite!
Hi! I am Jules Wiegand. I love Jesus and Photography (in that order:). Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy browsing through my life and photography. I live in Louisville, but i would love to do your destination wedding or event or mission trip.. so, please fly me somewhere!
I am excited to celebrate your life moments with you – whether that be your engagement, wedding, senior pictures, family or baby pictures – love the babies:) i pretty much love it all!! ha.. that’s a lot of love going on. Now i feel like singing – it’s good for you that i don’t have audio on this blog!!
Lots of fun stuff on this blog! You can vote on your favorite photos and check out my latest shoot in the sneak peek section. Also – check out the galleries for more samples of my work. Feel free to follow me and receive my updates -and comments are pretty much my favorite – so, don’t deny a girl her joy!! It’s the little things :)
Please follow me on twitter and @reply me so that I know who you are :)
I love this couple – seriously, they are one of my faves!! I’ve known them both for about a year and think of them like family now. The last professional photos they have had was seven years ago when they got married. They were due- overdue :) !! Just a side note, ladies for when you want to do this – give your husband some advance notice – lol. I mentioned to Josh two days before their photo shoot, so ‘are you ready?” He had no clue.. haha and Rachelle had this planned for weeks. Luckily, he’s a good guy who will do photo shoots because he loves his wife. :) In fact, they might still be a little smitten with one another and they are definitely giggly around each other just like newlyweds. AWW!!! you can say it – too. It’s true. They are not always the most affectionate in front of people but as I’ve been around them and seen them more and more together, they definitely are crazy about each other. There is nothing better as a photographer to celebrate those love relationships and to catch that emotion. The first part of their photo shoot was taken at the Scarlet Hope House – this is the part where I get to brag on my friends. About 3 years ago, Rachelle felt called to impact the sex entertainment industry with a message of hope and love. From there Scarlet Hope was founded and the Scarlet Hope team has been sharing the hope of Jesus Christ in strip clubs every week. You can click on one of the links to check out this ministry in more detail, and in case you are wondering who made the awesome website – that would be none other than Josh, yep – he is crazy talented and has his own business called, Solid Giant. Without his support, Rachelle would not be able to devote the time and attention to this ministry. It truly is a labor of love for both of them.
Speaking of LABOR– for the last two months, they have been working diligently to get the Scarlet Hope House in shape. Recently, someone donated a house to Scarlet Hope and the building will be used as a resource center for women who wish to change their lives for the better. So, for the first part of the shoot – we thought we would show what life has been like trying to get the house ready.

So, we trekked on over to Garden Court which is just absolutely beautiful – and I would highly recommend for weddings! Here are some of my faves from their photography session with me in Louisville’s Garden Court. He pretty much makes her laugh all the time.

Scarlet Hope is a ministry that exists to show the love of Christ to women in the sex entertainment industry. It came about when a woman (Rachelle) felt burdened and felt led to pray about what she could do to reach these women in this industry. She told her close friends and they began to pray.. three years ago, they walked into a strip club and were able to find favor with the club owners. Since then, Scarlet Hope volunteers go into clubs every week to share the love of Christ through sharing a meal or conversation or fixing hair. The ministry continues to grow.
It’s an amazing ministry in which i am privileged to be a part of on many levels including photography. The leadership team of Scarlet Hope asked me to take some photos that they will use in fundraising and for website purposes. Here is a glimpse of some awesome women who pour themselves out to serve others. Meet Hannah, Rachelle and Sarah – the leadership team of Scarlet Hope. Let me tell you … they rocked the photoshoot out. We had so much fun. I tried to get a similar look to their website.. but some of these are just for fun – i mean, we are girls and there is a camera.. ha. We had to play :)

I volunteer my time at an organization called Scarlet Hope. It’s a wonderful ministry to share the love of Christ with women who are in the sex trafficking industry. I am honored to be Scarlet Hope’s official photographer to aid this ministry in any way. The most recent project is for the leadership team of Scarlet Hope. Here is a glimpse of one of our photo shoots.
