Take a Free Class

She’ll be at the Mall. Trust Me.

Brides, lovers, fellow Anthro-addicts – the day has finally come. I thought it would never happen. But I woke up this morning to an email that read….

“What if Anthropologie did Weddings?”

Shuuuuuuuuut up!! It’s brilliant. Sheer genius. I want to kiss whoever does the email marketing over at Anthropologie headquarters/heaven (sorry sweetie). Maybe that way I can glean just a little bit of the pure magic that rolls out of their heads with every single advertisement that I receive from them. I mean, their brains must be made of fluffy puppies and cotton candy, because I get warm fuzzies all up in my insides and I can hardly contain myself when a new message comes through (thanks Gretchen for that phrase on Facebook – I’m a total plagiarizer). And this, my friends, has been a long time coming…

Anthropologie Unveils Wedding Line with BHLDN, February 14th.

So to our 2011 brides, I will be that THING clapping and squealing on your wedding day if you decide to take Anthro up on their offer. And to all of our fabulous grooms out there that are wondering where you’re Valentine’s date went… just check your local mall.

Happy shopping!

Hugs,

Erin

About Us

We're Jeff & Erin

We’re Jeff and Erin Youngren – and it’s our mission to help you thrive not just as a wedding photographer, but as a business owner. It’s time to set aside the stress and comparison of a hustle mindset, and build a life-giving business instead.

We met in college, got married, and started corporate jobs before we discovered (and fell in love with) wedding photography. But like many creative entrepreneurs, we were booking anything we could, strapped to our laptops and living dangerously close to burnout.

So we dug in and learned how to build a thriving business that supports our dream life – instead of a joyless business that runs a stressed-out life.

Today, we photograph only 10 Dreamie weddings per year, but we also run two other wedding brands plus a commercial studio in San Diego, CA. And we do it by only working the hours that fit into our life. The other hours? We spend those living a joyful life raising our two beautiful sons, James and Samuel.

hugs,

Jeff and Erin

My Life in a Basket

Heather is basically my favorite. This blonde bombshell of a woman interned with us last summer and is now a permanent part of the team here at The Youngrens. While much of her work is remote, she spends plenty of quality time cozying up to Jeff and me here in the...

My Idea of Heaven

My sign would read: Scooter rides until we're 90 years old. What would your sign say?   PS The old couple at the end makes me cry every time. My greatest goal in life is to be them someday. Hugs,...
