Engagement: Jackie + Chris

Posted in Engagement

I did an early evening shoot with Jackie and Chris tonight. The rain has been on and off for the last week and we had our fingers crossed for sunshine today and won! We set out for a rustic feel to the shoot and journeyed quite far to accomplish it! We found a somewhat remote location with some pretty wonderful items, textures and colors. Jackie and Chris are just gorgeous too and so relaxed that the shoot was effortless! We shot until just before sunset and I am so pleased with the images! Congratulations to you both and I can’t wait to see you at your wedding in March!

Wedding: Natalie + Chris

Posted in Wedding

Natalie and Chris were married on Saturday August 21 at The Day Chapel set in the Botanical Gardens of Athens Georgia. This was the first wedding in months that the temperatures hadn’t been in at least the mid 90s so we were all so very thankful for the 86 degree weather! It seems that it’s been raining for weeks now but I love how that doesn’t hold us back and my brides have been fearless this past month!

This wedding was so classic and beautiful. The bridal bouquet was stunning! All the details came together so well.

The couple shared a first look before the wedding. I love it when my couples do this! I love the intimate photos and just how it really creates a relaxed atmosphere for the entire day!

Natalie had a custom one of a kind wedding dress that she purchased from ETSY.COM

The images above are from Natalie and Chris’ first few moments together. What I like to call a First Look.

The rain was really coming down when it was time to go so everyone got creative and we did the exit shoot indoors!

Wedding: Lauren + Patrick

Posted in Wedding

I had the most amazing wedding yesterday. Lauren was the best bride ever! She was so relaxed and fun. She was wild and funny! The weather was humid and rained a bit but that wouldn’t stop us from running outside to capture some of the most perfect light. Patrick is an all out renaissance man. Get ready for it…..he is….a computer genius, pilot, photographer, and volunteer fire fighter! I shot Lauren’s brother’s wedding a couple of years ago and it was great to see everyone again. I love it when I get to come back and work with families again. It was awesome to see how happy her brother is with his gorgeous wife, Lindsey, and new baby girl!

The wedding was at Church of Our Savior followed by the always artsy King Plow for the reception. I loved some of the live center pieces and the art was incredible. Yes. I just said “live”. Take a look below. Lauren and Patrick also had one of the most unique exits where the guests tossed 150 paper airplanes at the couple as the ran for the car!

We had a blast and I wish you both all the love in the world!

The necklace tied to the bouquet was a gift from Patrick earlier that day.

Colored shoes are my fave!

This guy was hilarious. I posted this just because I told him I would;)

Wedding: Katie + John

Posted in Wedding

Katie and John were married on July 31 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. I have shot at here once before and it is truly a breathtakingly beautiful place. Katie and John were high school sweethearts and this past weekend Katie traded in her promise ring from years ago for a wedding band. It was so romantic! They are such incredible people. They had a great time and I loved how they opened up the party for the reception. Instead of the traditional first dance they all ran in to fast pumping music and grabbed guests and took them out on to the dance floor. Within minutes everyone was dancing and singing and the party had begun! (See the shot below from the opening dance) They also had a partybooth so be sure to check out the shots below! We had a blast at this wedding!

You guys are awesome and I am so happy for you! Congratulations to you both and I hope you have a blast on your honeymoon!

I love how gorgeous Katie looks in the above shot!

Above right: I love this shot! I love the emotion, the colors and the light.

Engagement: Katie + Jorge

Posted in Engagement

This morning we caught some absolutely beautiful light at the park for Katie and Jorge’s engagement session. We brought tons of fun props and Jorge supplied some yummy wine;)They really were such an easy couple to photograph. Jorge was instantly relaxed in front of the lens and I loved how he could make Katie giggle. I met Jorge quite a while ago at one of my greatest college friend’s wedding. I never forgot him, he stood out with his infectious laugh and welcoming disposition. I know that Katie will have lots of great times in the future with Jorge in her life! They are getting married in November and are in full swing of finishing all the details of their wedding. I know it will be fantastic! Congratulations to the both of you and I wish you all the love in the world!

Some amazing wine that Jorge brought from Peru.
