Another gorgeous wedding I was blessed to shoot with my friend Jan of Jan Michele Photography. Enjoy some of my favorites from this fantastic couples wedding a few weeks ago. I just love the color scheme they went with and have you ever seen a more handsome bunch of guys and gorgeous girls. EEEEEK!
The guys were hilarious and pretty much the coolest groomsmen ever!
GORG!
Beatiful girls
Beautiful Bling
MARRIED!
Meet Luke! I have known Luke for a few years now through his girlfriend Lexie. You have seen her gorgeous face grace my blog on many occasions. The most recent being her senior photos here. Luke will be heading to Hampden Sydney COllege this Fall and I am so honored to have been able to capture these photos for him. Luke…you are going to ROCK college. Good Luck and God Speed – you are a fantastic young man and I know you are going to do amazing next year.
Gahhhh – aren’t they the stinkin cutest!!! [Love]
I had the pleasure of second shooting this wedding with my friend Jan of Jan Michele Photography and I couldn’t love it more. This couple was the most wonderful, laid back couple I’ve photographed in a long time. The details and little personal touches were fabulous. If I have said it once, I have said it 1000 times – I love second shooting. It gives me the freedom and creativity I don’t usually get if I am the primary shooter. Second shooting comes with a lot of responsibility, and I am trusted to capture those moments that the primary shooter may not get because they are focusing on the bride/groom – but the pressure isn’t quite the same.
Please enjoy my favorites from this beautiful wedding.
The Bride was so stunning and I literally could have photographed her all day!!! Okay, so I got a little carried away – but see…she’s gorgeous!
The guys had a blast playing pool and hanging out before the ceremony.
I love when couples decide to see each other before the ceremony!
Now, that is some serious BLING!!! LOVE
The Bride and her girlfriends made those amazing cake pops and they were so delish!
Love the entrance!
I love doing these little posts. As important as my photography work is to me, its just as important that my clients know me on a more personal level. I want them to feel comfortable and keep coming back and when I have invested my time into getting to know them, its just as important that they know me. These little posts are a quick little way for my clients to find out about what I love, or hate, or my biggest pet peeves.
Here we go!
1. I despise self check-outs…you know the ones in the grocery store that are supposed to be fast? Errrr-Nope! They are horrendous and they always break down when it is my turn next.
2. I am addicted to Reality TV – DWTS, SYTYCD, The Voice, American Idol…LOVE my girl Kellie
3. I don’t sleep in! Never have, never will. Even on the weekends, I am up at 4:30 – 5:00. If I get to much sleep, I have a headache all day. True Story!
4. I drive fast – like way to fast. I probably should have been a NASCAR driver instead of a Paralegal/Photographer.
5. I have always wanted farm – you know…a working farm where the kids collect eggs every morning for breakfast and we milk our own cows. LOL – it would never happen, but these are my dreams…k?
6. Reference above: I don’t drink milk!!! I can’t stand the taste of it and I remember when my grandfather used to milk the cows and bring in the unpasteurized milk. OMG – that smell has stayed with me for all these years. GROSS – to this day I won’t drink even pasteurized milk. So if I had a farm, I have no idea what I would do with all of that milk. [sigh]
7. I love old folk and country songs. My two favorites are Sneaky Snake and Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road by Tom T Hall.
8. I am petrified of Big Foot – it feels good to get that off my chest. I have been harboring that secret for a really long time. I suffered from insomnia as a child because I watched the documentary and kept having the same recurring dream that Big Foot came to carry me off. It was super scary people!
9. I am a very suspicious person. I blame this on my super sleuth cop father. When someone tells me something, I feel like my head is playing the Jeopardy song…while I determine whether they are telling me the truth or not. It has come in useful as a parent. #supermom #kidscan’tgetawaywithanything!!!
10. And…finally and probably the most personal of all of these…I am a super anxious person. I have to be doing something all the time, and when I’m not, I start freaking out. As long as I am moving some part of my extremities, I am good. My husband jokes he can tell when I am ready to leave somewhere because my foot will start twitching. LOL
Cassie will be graduating in a few short weeks, so when she contacted me to do her Senior photos, I knew we didn’t have any time to waste. I love, love, love the vibe she was going for; being from the country myself, I am a sucker for cowboy boots and plaid shirts and I think we really achieved the look she wanted. Cassie brought along her boyfriend Travis and her red tractor (love) to really bring out her personality.
Congratulations Cassie – I hope every dream you have ever dreamed comes true and thank you for trusting me with your Senior photos. I am smitten!
Enjoy a few of my favorites…
