Brandalyn asked me to take family photos a few years ago – and when she emailed me again – asking about her wedding – I WAS SO EXCITED!
SO HANDSOME!
She couldn’t hold back the tears when she saw her little guy all dressed up!
Because you all know I have a slight problem picking my FAVORITE photos to showcase – I’ll post PART TWO of this blog post TOMORROW!
Cliff works with my husband and Cliff is engaged to a great girl! Jared couldn’t remember her name one night while introducing us – which is funny – because it’s an easy one for him! Or should have been!
Danielle wanted some engagement photos – for each season of the year! This past winter let us down in terms of snow – so we are hoping THIS winter will give us a GREAT snowy backdrop!
We did manage to squeeze their spring session in amongst our busy schedules!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!
OH MY WORD! I LOVE THOSE ONES!
Danielle & Cliff – I CANNOT WAIT to see you for our summer session!
You might remember this GORGEOUS face from the first days of this business!
That was 2009! (just a screenshot from Shutterfly – but you get the idea)
And NOW – Melissa & Spencer are engaged to be married this fall! I was SO excited that she asked me to take their engagement pictures!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
I LOVE BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS!
And really photogenic people!
And people that just BE! It’s really hard for some people to just – do what they do – while I photograph them!
THAT LIGHT! OH MY WORD!
THAT ONE! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
SWOON!!! THAT LIGHT! THOSE SMILES!
PERFECT SHOT!
Melissa & Spencer – I had such a GREAT time with you guys!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING!!
Lastly – the reception!
First dance photos – I LOVE THEM!
Blur. Grain. Not the way you’d normally choose a final image – but some of my favorite images turn out that way!
Weddings are interesting – you plan MONTHS and MONTHS – in some cases – YEARS – for one day. One night.
And then – it seems to fly by!
Barbie & Jared – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture your BEAUTIFUL day!
You’ve already built your marriage on the strongest foundation there is – Jesus! I’m SO happy for you both!
I left off with the end of their BEAUTIFUL ceremony!
Here are the “formal” photographs.
If you know me – I find it hard to define anything about me and my style of shooting formal – but it’s the best way to describe it!
It’s another long one – but OH SO BEAUTIFUL!
That’s a shot Carrie snuck in – I LOVE IT!!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
Carrie – those shots are AMAZING!
I LOVE those shots!
OH MY WORD! MY FAVORITES!
I’m not gonna lie – I LOVE small bridal parties!
The bride and her brother. The groom and his sister.
That one on the right – BEAUTIFUL!
Carrie – thank you again for your BEAUTIFUL work!
ONE MORE BLOG POST – THE RECEPTION!
I took Barbie’s senior photos – when Fitzy was just a little baby!
I was SO VERY excited when she contacted me about her ENGAGEMENT to Jared!
Barbie and I share the same birthday – May 26th! We married fantastic Jesus-loving men named Jared. AND they got married on my sister’s birthday!
Carrie Dinger – Captured by Carrie – was my AMAZING second shooter for the day!
If you see a photo here WITHOUT my logo on it – it’s one that Carrie took! I can’t thank her enough for shooting with me!
The BEST part about having a second photographer is capturing the guys AND the girls!
It doesn’t matter how awesome a photographer is – they simply cannot be in two places at once!
Getting ready photos are my FAVORITE photos!
LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
Those moments – unexpected – candid. My favorite moments!
A first look doesn’t need to be reserved for just the bride & groom! A father’s first look at his daughter in her wedding dress. BEAUTIFUL!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!
This was a LONG blog post – thanks for staying with me!
I can’t seem to figure out my 10 favorites to post – which is a GOOD problem to have!
Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 of the Frank wedding!
As promised …
GORGEOUS!
ISN’T SHE GORGEOUS!
It rained and misted off-and-on all day – but we managed to find some time to sneak in portraits!
Like most shots that I end up LOVING – this wasn’t planned – just a BEAUTIFUL accident!
Sisters and speeches.
First dances. Tears and smiles.
Father daughter dances – more tears!
Mother-son dances. I CANNOT keep it together!
PRECIOUS!
Kaitlyn & Colt – thank you SO much for asking me to spend the day with you!
I typically meet with my bride and groom in person before the wedding – but I met Kaitlyn on her wedding day!
Getting ready pictures are some of my FAVORITE shots!
GORGEOUS!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
And those ones – MY FAVORITE!
Sweet baby girl!
She asked specifically for this shot – to recreate a picture from Colt’s parents wedding!
Stay tuned for the rest of their BEAUTIFUL day!
As promised …
I LOVE THAT SHOT!
And – just because black & white is LOVELY!
SO SWEET!
That couple on the right – I’ll be doing their wedding this summer!
Joy & Briar – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture this BEAUTIFUL moment in your lives!
I’ve known Joy since she was little – like – before middle school little!
Photographing her wedding was such a JOY – even though it made me feel quite old!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS! Especially the one of momma looking on her beautiful girl!
GORGEOUS!
Isn’t she just LOVELY!
Stay tuned for the rest of their photos TOMORROW!
