Claudette and Justin

I absolutely loved photographing their wedding! From the details, happiness and seeing their family again!! I photographed Claudette's sister wedding Jordon last year!

I'm going to start with her shoes OH her glorious shoes!


Some of my favorite getting ready photos.

I loved her veil!


It was a great ceremony with laughter of joy, tears and just an overwhelming feeling of love in the room.


I love these next two images Steve captured after the ceremony.


The formals Ah yes the formals.



The Abbey provided a fab background for formals!



Wow, okay this post is getting long!! I'm going to split this one up and save the reception and details for later.

Have a great day!

Andrea and Rusty

This is another one of my favorite couples this year! Here's their story of how they met and got engaged!

Andrea and Rusty met in Arkansas one night when they were out with friends. Rusty remembers seeing her in line waiting to go in and said he had to talk to that girl before the night was over! After being inside for awhile one of his friends asked Andrea to dance and while they were dancing he told her how Rusty wanted to talk to her, but wasn't sure if she would talk to him or not. Rusty eventually came up and talked to her and was trying to win her over by saying he "had a sports car that she should imagine myself in with the windows down going across the Memphis bridge." What Rusty didn't know was she was different than a lot of girls...and the fact that he had a sports car did not impress Andrea in the least. That is exactly what she told him. Andrea totally played hard to get for months and even his friends said whatever you are doing keep doing it cause we have never seen Rusty like a girl so much. He finally won her over when she saw the pictures the children in his class drew for him at his house. He worked with children with disabilities. They dated for a couple of months and eventually became a couple. Rusty believes when he saw Andrea it was love at first sight and she would some day be his wife, however the feelings weren't so much mutual until a while later! After about 4 years of being together Rusty proposed. It was right after Christmas and Andrea's family was in Atlanta visiting them and their close friends were at their house. Rusty made a steak dinner with wine and champagne for all of them. Andrea knew something was up, and kind of knew what he was up to... Rusty had put her ring in a Christmas stocking over their fireplace and told her how much he loved and cared for her. He told her to look inside of the Christmas stocking. He had put the ring inside the stocking. It was so meaningful that he wanted to share the moment with their family and friends. After getting engaged they went out with friends and family to celebrate!

The ever gorgeous Andrea.



So, the rest are formals. They are one of those couples that let me do whatever I wanted!!! Behind the venue was the coolest old factory so we shot there for a few minutes.




I absolutely loved her green shoes! How cute are they?

A day after session or a month later....

Johnie and David are one of my favorite couples from this year. I have to post images from their wedding at The Biltmore the details were absolutely awesome!

So, I'm processing these and thought "self, these are gorgeous and I need to do a blog post!" So, here I am doing a blog post....

Rob and Genevieve

Another couple that made the "best of" list this year! Congrats Genevieve and Robert. YOU ROCK!

They had a super great wedding at a beautiful venue called The McGarity house.

The brides room had this great old mirror. How could I not use it?


The ceremony was held under crab apple trees. It was fantastically awesome!

Genevieve is absolutely stunning. I absolutely loved photographing her.

These next three ....are well, my favorite images of a child from a wedding. She was super shy and then all the sudden noticed me and got closer and closer to me. And then as if she were say "TA DA! I made it to you" with arm stretched out in celebration of me taking her picture.



How awesomely awesome is this light?!?!!!

Robert loves cigars and had a theme going... He invited a super cool group of cigar aficionados.

Young Tony Soprano anyone?

Brick Walls rock!

Lindsey and John

Sneeeeaaaakkkkk Peak!

Lindsey and John are a super fun couple! We ended up having a lot in common.... Steve was there as my second photographer. He normally doesn't get to shoot engagement sessions with me so this was a special treat. We (well....John and Steve) talked football while Lindsey and I talked wedding details!

Okay with no more delay here are some of my faves of the day:



They brought a football with them and I caught them tossing it around and just being cute with each other...
