Back in November I met with this beautiful girl that I really liked.  Her wedding was in March and I wanted to be the photographer.  Our personalities clicked, her plans sounded gorgeous and I just knew her bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks would make a beautiful bride.  What I didn’t know is that Anna […]

I have so many things to say about this wedding.  From the amazing style and smile of the bride to the easy-going, comfortable demeanor of the groom… the laughter-filled bridesmaids to the fun-loving, dance-loving groomsmen… the amazing band, food, bride’s dress… the perfect day both schedule and weather-wise.  All of it was better than I […]

I’m certain that you’re just as eager to see how gorgeous Maria and Zach were as I am to show you!  So here are a few early favorites.

Liesa and Chad were married on a beautiful, crisp November day.  Everything was perfect and went so smoothly that I was worried we were forgetting something the whole time!  But it seems that all the details, including the most important- the marriage- did happen.  I am so in love with St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic […]

Liesa and Chad were married Saturday and it was beautiful!  But, I’ve been having to sit on these gorgeous bridal portraits for a couple of months and couldn’t wait any longer.  It’s just a hint at how beautiful the wedding day was.I love this one.  I’d like to tell you that she looks so wistful […]

Ever wonder what these crazy people called photographers look like on a wedding day?  What we DO to get our brides and grooms to do what they do?  A few of my 2nd shooters (Thanks to Kelly Cummings and Natalie Spargo!) have slyly captured me doing my thing over the last year and here is […]

My Saturday started a little rough (stomach virus in the middle of the night.)  And had a few bumps at the end (flat tire as I left the reception.)  But the rest of the day was beautiful and filled with Jenny and Payton’s wedding festivities! I hadn’t met Jenny or Payton before last year, although […]

It was hot as blue blazes on Danielle and Trey’s wedding day.  It rained three times, but never where Danielle was.  We think that means this marriage has extra luck!  I started the day with Danielle at her parents home in Liberty Park.  All the women in the family had their hair done there, and make […]

My favorite photos from Danielle and Trey’s wedding yesterday were their portraits after the ceremony.  Even though they wanted to get to their reception, like every couple, they trusted me with this time and their photos.  I am thrilled with what we got.  Here’s just a little sneak- the whole wedding day to follow!

Everyone loves a good love story.   Ones like Rachel and Jay’s are some of my favorites… boy meets girl, boy and girl go different directions, boy and girl meet again years later, fall in love and live happily ever after.  A few Saturdays ago, I got to witness the beginning of Rachel and Jay’s happily […]

Kathy and Matt were married last Saturday at Trinity United Methodist Church in Homewood.  They have been together for 5-years, and were well prepared for this day!  Kathy, a bride after my own heart, had a notebook full of checklists and phone numbers and deadlines.  It all paid off, because if I could describe their […]

Danielle and Jonathan got married on a day predicted to have a lot of rain.  But, at the church where Jonathan grew up, Westwood Baptist, there were only sunny skies and fluffy white clouds!  They had postponed and changed the details of their wedding day a few times as they aligned their priorities to include […]

I love the tingly anticipation and nerves right before a big performance.  I used to feel it regularly when I danced, and now i feel that excited energy right before a wedding.  Especially when it’s a wedding like Walt and Elizabeth’s… a perfect wedding, with beautifully thought out details and really genuinely kind people.  This […]

It’s late, but I couldn’t resist.  This wedding was as perfect as I had imagined it would be.  Love to the Doty’s!

Like I mentioned in the last post, these two lovebirds got married in St. Lucia, all by their romantic selves.  But, because friends and family are so important to them, they did plan a BIG party to celebrate with everyone.  It was a gorgeous hot day, and we had so much fun. Without any prodding […]
