The Engagement of Jennifer & Tony

What an awesome couple! I finally got to meet Jennifer and Tony the morning of their engagement session at Oak Mountain Park, south of Birmingham...not to mention, it was the morning of Jennifer's move to Indiana to be near Tony before the wedding! I'm so happy everything is falling in to place for them - it's obviously meant to be! 

It was a HOT, muggy morning, we had a good hike near the waterfall where they got engaged this spring. The adventure was definitely worth the images captured - I'll let you check them out!

She is going to be such a beautiful bride! Looking forward to their September wedding!

I wasn't kidding! They were hitting the highway right after this session!

Near the waterfall (hard to tell with all of the foliage) where they got engaged!

Love this one!
Love his contentment :) and the view!

The Wedding of Lane & Judith

The fairy tale has begun! I am so happy for Lane and Judith! And even more excited because I am related to them - Lane is John's (my husband) cousin! We got to participate in their beautiful wedding this past Saturday in the heat and humidity of the Orlando, Florida weather. It didn't slow anything down! It was such a great atmosphere and so wonderful to get to finally meet Judith's family. Here are a few favorites from their 1920's inspired wedding...



Gorgeous!

Dashing, don't you agree?





The wedding party - including the hottest best man ever! Yep - it's my husband, I'm a little biased!

Her father was so happy! He is such a wiley character too, can you tell?
Obviously Orlando - no wedding here can go on without Mickey ears!
Congratulations, Lane & Judith! I can't wait to hear about the honeymoon and look forward to 'hanging out' again. Thank you for everything you've done for us!

Jill & Chris's Engagement Session(s)!

Jill and Chris had a two-part engagement session - the first began Saturday morning before the storm hit, the second was yesterday evening in the heat and humidity of the day... I would say we got plenty of cool shots of this laid-back, fun-to-be-around couple despite the weather!

Chris drove his '69 Mustang for Saturday's session...definitely got the moody clouds of the storm front (looks like the Ghostbusters sky, if you want to take it back a little, lol!)... What a sweet car! 

Cute shoes! And a reason to wear them...


The 'Abbey Road' shot.



So fun to 'hang out' with you two! Thanks for getting dressed up twice for the engagement session! I'm looking forward to the wedding in two months - it will be here before you know it!

The Wedding of Jayme & Stephen

The long-awaited wedding of Jayme and Stephen occurred this past Sunday in McCalla, Alabama. (This is the Old Navy engagement couple! Sorry, Stephen, we didn't have time to hit the store on the way to the reception! We can always 'dress-up' again!)

Jayme was such a beautiful bride - check out her smashing dress - the design is so unique, along with the pink bow. All of the details included a pink, classic theme. There were so many images from the day - the gallery will be posted next week...check out a few shots below...

The handsome groom and blushing bride...


Her flowers became part of the decor at Park Crest Event Facility (south of Birmingham). I thought the large vases of water were way cool!

A '35 Ford and a kiss...



I'm so happy for Stephen and Jayme and everything that worked out to bring them together! Expect the unexpected! Congratulations to you both!

The Wedding of Laura & Paul

FINALLY! The 'long-awaited' and anticipated blog from Laura and Paul's wedding can be posted...! What a gorgeous wedding...Laura and Paul made the evening beautiful along with their family and friends at Rocky Mount Bed and Breakfast in Prattville, AL... I have so many great shots (and thanks to the venue's many photo-perfect locations) - I'll let a few of the images do the talking...

Love the purple tones - reminds me of my parents wedding colors back '72 - that's a compliment!


The beautiful, laughing bride, Laura... I've never seen a bride so calm and peaceful - that's a good sign!
Gorgeous!

The wedding vows - check out Paul's face as he sees her for the first time!

Paul IS a character! He is so cool - love the jump!


Paul, 2 brothers, and friends...



The last shot of the evening :)
Thank you, Laura and Paul for having me be a part of this beautiful day! Many congratulations and happy memories - more to come!

Update!

I'm traveling this week, so my blog will be a little behind (I know this already!)... If you are looking for Laura and Paul's wedding, the blog will be posted late Friday and the gallery will be up next week (turned out to be a beautiful wedding, beautiful photos, I'm so excited!). The password will be Laura's last name.

Have a wonderful week - I'm available by phone, email and facebook! Other than that, not much else is going to get done :)
