Lacy and Rick

So, I might be breaking my own rules. I'm going to post pictures without a story!!! You guys.... let me tell you how awesome Lacy and Rick are. She was so incredibly sweet and calm despite the fact she had to change plans to see Rick before the wedding b/c of the rain threat. Then it did rain right when the ceremony was suppose to start. I'm normally super good about making rain go away or a storm turning into sprinkles (last weekend). I'm not sure what happened to my skills. It actually did not matter b/c the wedding was awesome! Anyway, I have never seen such a gracious, kind, willing to do anything couple and wedding party! Ya know I love it when couples let me do anything and give me complete creative freedom. The rain came in and left and quickly and the ceremony was filled with tears of joy. It was absolutely awesome.

I'm going to start with Steves images. :) The first two are right before the ceremony began and I absolutely love them!


I LOVE this moment he caught of them right after the first kiss.


And a few fancy formals....

Hello, hello, I am on my way out to a meeting but promised another fab professional wedding coordinator and portrait photographer Meredith Wullkotte I would blog about their family portrait session, okay the truth is they are so freakin' cute I HAD to post. :)

Abagail and Bill

A perfect day... with great weather, venue, bride and groom and details.

I'll start with their proposal story.

Two big things happened on September 1, 2007, Georgia's first game of the season against Oklahoma ended in a victory for UGA and Bill proposed to me.

After five years of not taking a summer vacation, Bill and I finally decided to be brave and leave our two dogs for a week to go on a vacation to San Diego, California. Bill's high school friend Stephen was in the Navy out in San Diego, and we decided to go out there to visit him. Our first whole day in San Diego was spent sight-seeing, or at least that's what I thought we were doing. Apparently, Bill was really looking for a spot to propose to me. My favorite spot that I saw that day was Sunset Cliffs.

On September 1, our plan was to dress in our black and red outfits and find a bar in downtown San Diego to watch UGA's opening season game against Oklahoma. Leave it to a UGA fan to support the DAWGS even on vacation. Towards the end of the game, Bill saw that it was almost time for sunset. He quickly paid our bill at the bar and ran outside to hail a pedicab back to our hotel. Once back at our hotel, we hopped into our rental car and headed towards Sunset Cliffs. Bill wanted us to watch the sunset at my favorite spot. As sunset grew closer, our car started going faster. I told Bill "We can just watch the sunset tomorrow night." Bill yelled out "No! We're going to see it tonight!" Finally, we got to sunset cliffs. I found a spot on the rocks to sit on and watch the sunset. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see Bill get up and get down on his knee. He nervously reached into his pocket, pulled out a gray ring box, and asked me to marry him. I started crying and said "Of course I will." I quickly called Mom from my cell phone to tell her the awesome news. However, Mom already knew it was going to happen. Bill had asked my Mom and Dad for their permission to marry me before the trip. She even saw the ring after he bought it. Once we got back to the hotel, Bill had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to our room. A sweet end to the sweetest night.

They absolutely love their dogs and even included them in the wedding (it was a surprise). So, I am going to start the post off with pictures of Buffett and Hugo.
Meet Buffett.

And Hugo (the active pup)

Abigail and Bill got ready at their home. Bill upstairs in the "man den" and her downstairs doing make-up and hair. It was so cool to be able to photograph Bill playing with Hugo.



I love this image of Abigail putting on her make-up.

Some of my faves from the guys getting ready.




I absolutely loved her dress! It was her second choice and later Abigail revealed that her and her mom told each other that they knew I was going to love it when they got it! And Pink shoes! WOOHOO!



From the post below you know how gorgeous Abigail is so I thought I would post some of her handsome husband Bill. And the guys....


Bill was planning on surprising her at the ceremony by having the dogs be the ring bearers. It was absolutely perfect! AND the ever Awesome Reverend Deanna married Abigail and Bill.


So, um this is turning into a long post! Okay I'll try to pick less images but it's going to be difficult!

A few formals and then we'll move into the details. I may have to save the reception for another post...




The Details were fab and the flowers were outstanding. This is the first time I have worked with Heather with Stylish Stems and I would highly recommend her!

Tricia and Jeff

What can say about a couple who let's me do whatever! Ya know I have mad love for those couples! I am going to post their story but before I do I want to post this image. I found this super cool room in that old factory I'm shooting in more and more. WOOHOO! I didn't see that space before and wow it made for a super cool shot!

I totally could not decide which one image to post so here's both!


I think Tricia looks absolutely gorgeous in these next two and yes Jeff looks great as well :)!




Well peeps I'm off to a wedding later today! Have a great weekend I'm going to be super duper busy!

Oh my gosh I almost forgot their story and it's so awesome! Here's her story.

Jeff and I have been together 10 years, so in that amount of time, I'm sure you can imagine all the times that I wondered, is this going to be the time he asks me??

Right before Christmas, he asked me if I wanted to take a trip in February, so in the back of my mind I thought, oh, could that be when he proposes? A week before Christmas we went to the Melting Pot. I just thought he had gotten a craving because we love the melting pot and usually go once a year.

I was trying to decide what to wear and mentioned something about jeans, and he said no jeans. I thought that was a little odd, but really didn't think a whole lot about it. He said it was a celebrating Christmas dinner.Anyway, so we get to the restaurant and we have this in very back table w/ a dozen roses and rose petals scattered all over. I thought, "how pretty!" and he said merry Christmas and some other stuff...can't really remember everything. The waiter asked if we were celebrating anything special and he said, "no just Christmas."

I was just asking him a bunch of questions on how the flowers got there and all that and he said, well I spoke to your father the other day...and that's where it all kind of went blank...I know he doesn't just chat w/ my dad. I even had to ask on the car ride home, now what exactly did you say?? He pulled out the ring and said that he had asked my father if we had his blessings and would I marry him. Seriously, after he said that about my father, I thought, wait...is this what i think it is??? and finally it was!! :)

How awesome is that story! I hope you guys are liking reading about my couples. They are so awesome!
