Wedding: Kala.Justin

In one of the prettiest weddings I've ever seen, Kala & Justin were married at Oaks Plantation.



The details at this wedding were absolutely amazing, and the colors among my favorites. Elegant, yet rustic and classic Southern Country, the flowers wowed me every time I saw them. Sunny yellow and crisp white paired with river rocks in the vases, or rafia and burlap in the bouquets. Gorgeous, gorgeous.



And here's a wonderful idea that's always appreciated at outdoor summer weddings:



Love the tag Kala had sewn into her dress



The Wedding Party:



This picture of the girls is one of my favorites of the day, they are all too cute!



Another beautiful detail from the wedding - a custom runner, ordered off the internet.











My favorite cupcake display EVER.







Kala & Justin, it was an honor to be there for your big day. Wishing you all the best!

Wedding: Carolyn.Clint



Carolyn and Clint were absolutely wonderful to work with! They danced around in front of the camera, they laughed and joked, they were silly, they were sweet, and most importantly...they were real. They pretty much did what I ask all my couples to do - pretend I'm not even here...unless I call your name. :) They did it really well too. There was no shyness, no pretense. Just honest emotion.



The Wedding Party. They.did.not.want.to.be.out.side. Can't say I blame them - it was HOT! So we got a few pictures outside, then went back in.





This arbor at Fountainview has to be one of the best places ever for an outside ceremony. So so pretty. And the minister put his own little twist on the service, which is always nice for someone like me who goes to at least one wedding every weekend. ;)



I absolutely loved how they did their cake cutting. Carolyn's daughter, Candace, got the first bite!



The Groom's mom with her other son. As the mom of boys, pictures like this always steal my heart. Sweet, sweet, sweet.



Quite possibly the sweetest guest at the reception. (i heart babies)



Once the guests were all settled in at the reception, I stole the Bride & Groom away for a few newlywed pictures.







These are some of my favorite pictures from the reception, and they were very accidentally taken. You see...I just wanted a bottle of water. So I went to the bar, which was in a tight little hallway. Well...the groom happened to be there too, sooooo...



P.S. The picture of the groom with the bridesmaid? --That-- is what happens when you make fun of short people. :)

P.P.S. The last picture on the right is of the groom and a guy I went to high school with. There was also another guy there that I went to high school with, and both of these guys were married to bridesmaids. It's a small world. :) Jason and Dewight - it was great seeing you both again!

At the end of the night, after the weather cleared from a huge storm, we were able to send off the Mr. & Mrs. in style. Hope you two had a wonderful honeymoon!

Wedding: Katie.Jason

Katie & Jason's wedding day was one of the most relaxed days I've seen. No nerves, no breakdowns, no worries. Just the sweet sweet joining of two lives.

First Look:





Such a great wedding party!



Gorgeous outside ceremony at Rosewood in Pinson.



The reception was outdoors as well, and I must say I was amazed with how wonderfully lighted the tent was. (So often there's not much light under tents...the more light the better!)

The Groom's Dad - such wonderful smiles on these two!



My favorite groomsman, "The Spare" ;) and his lovely wife, who was Matron of Honor. Pucker up baby!



Congratulations Katie & Jason! It was an honor to capture the beginning of your life together. My love to you both!

Wedding: Jordan.Michael

Jordan and Michael have been favorites of mine since their engagement session. These two are always tons of fun and up for just about anything. Not to mention how sweet and funny they both are. :) It was an honor to photograph their wedding.

Here's a few of the bridal details. Gorgeous!



It rained the day of Jordan and Michael's wedding, so we had to revise our plan of outside pictures. Luckily, the church we were at had some nice indoor places for pictures.





The reception was held at Gateway Lodge - love the rustic charm of this place!





Yes, they are indeed doing the Hokey Pokey. :) It was too funny!



Jordan & Michael - I know your life together is going to be full of love and laughter! Thank you for letting me be there for the start of your life together.
