Wedding: Rachel & JJ

*Thanks to all who have patiently waited for this blog...I know it's late, but life has been crazy. In an effort to make up for my tardiness, I'm posting a few extra pictures. Enjoy!*

On October 18th, Rachel and J.J. (or RayJay, as Rachel's sister calls them) were married at St. Mary's on the Highlands in Birmingham. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. I'm always suprised that more Southerners don't get married in October. The weather is perfect!



Rachel is a big fan of wide angle shots. And with a chapel this gorgeous, wide angle was definitely called for!


After we finished the bridal party and family pictures inside the church, we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The courtyard at St. Mary's was perfect for pictures.


(Can you tell my girls were a lot of fun? I love it!)




We moved around to the front of the church, and it was perfection all over again.



I absolutely LOVE the front steps here. Another thing I love? Rachel's shoes!




While we were there, I called J.J.'s mom over for a mother-son picture. I guess having boys myself, these pictures are always among my favorites. I
will have this picture at my boys' weddings. :)



Confession: this was staged. But isn't it wonderful?




The fabulous shoes of the day:




I won't tell the story behind this shot. But trust me, it was hilarious.





Can you guess what these two are doing? Hint: It's late afternoon on Saturday. You guessed it - FOOTBALL!







I absolutely love these favors.


And did they use bubbles? roses? birdseed? Nope - potpourri! Wonderful!


Hope you guys had a great time on your honeymoon!

Wedding: Angie & Gary

Angie and Gary had a simply gorgeous ceremony and reception at Wetumpka's Jasmine Hills Gardens on October 11th. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful place Jasmine Hills is. I'm ashamed to admit that I've lived in the Montgomery area 12 years now, and this was my first visit. As far as outdoor venues go...I can't think of any other that's been as perfect as this one. If you're looking for an outside venue in the Tri-County area, do yourself a favor and go for a visit.

--enough of the chit chat, on with the pictures!--

Another beautiul cake by Peggy McKinney~








The groom and his brothers...boys, boys, boys. (They really were a lot of fun!)










This is the bride's brother, Todd, and his wife, Lee. These two were absolutely amazing with all they put into this wedding! (Oh, and they also own La Jolla in EastChase. If you've not been, I beg you to go. The food is to die for!)





I hope you two had a great time in the mountains! Congratulations on the start of your life together!

Wedding: Christin & David

Saturday was a great, great day - for starters, the weather was phenomenal, there's no way we could've asked for any better. Add to that a gorgeous wedding party and tons of fun guests, and it all adds up to one fabulous day!

Pictures for the day started with the guys. They were a trip - two of them even made my "list" for the day, which for all my threatening and evil looks, really isn't that bad of a place to be. ;)

David & His Minions:


When it was time for the girls, we decided to do the ever popular floral wreath picture. Christin was so excited for this. "I look SO good in purple!" she said. Honey, you look good in everything!



After doing all the sanctuary pictures, we headed outside for some fun shots.





Christin wore some rockin' shoes! Purple! I love it!





Christin's dad officiated the wedding. Instead of saying "you may now kiss the bride" he said, "David, you now have my permission to kiss the bride." which brought on chuckles from the entire audience. I just love his expression in this picture.



The reception was held at Moore's Mill Club in Auburn, which is gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous, check out the Groom's cake -






(I love it when wedding guests mess around with me!)




David's brother and his wife were both members of the wedding party, and are expecting a little one next month.







For those of you who don't know me well, I have a deep and abiding love for grainy black and whites. I don't do them very often, because I know they are not widely popular...but I absolutely adore them. This shot is one of my favorites from the reception. One of the groomsmen and his girlfriend. They were actually posing for someone else's camera, but I caught them too.







Double Smash!




Congratulations you two! I hope you guys are having a blast in Jamaica!
