The Wedding of Cassie & Chris!

So summer has carried me away from the computer a bit and off to a vacation up north to visit family and friends recently! So I'm behind on some blogging again, but you gotta live so you have something to blog about! lol! We spent almost a week at my parents and I had the opportunity to photograph my cousin Chris's wedding last weekend! Chris married his sweetheart, Cassie, in a beautiful church in Pleasant Plain, Iowa. (I am missing Iowa really bad as I post these photos!)

It was a gorgeous family affair - Cassie's daughter, Hayley, as well as Cassie's sister, were in the bridal party. Chris's brother was his best man. And now on to the images...Cassie did a wonderful job making this wedding come together - the pinks and golds were beautiful for this summer day!

I could tell Chris was nervous during the ceremony... but this shot on the right was his first smile during the service, talking to Cassie ;)

Love to you both! It was so great being a part of your day - and of course, having a new cousin-in-law! Congratulations and God bless your new family!

Special thanks to Gail Klodt for helping me cover this event! Whoohoo!

The Engagement of Artesha & Ron!

Artesha and Ron are such a sweet couple - and might I add, enduring. We photographed their engagement session at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens on one of the hottest mornings I had been out in for awhile! I think Ron was done after about 15 minutes of heat and 'posing', but these two are troopers. We were able to capture some beautiful and fun images!

She looks likes she should be in a magazine!

Can you tell they actually had fun despite 95+degrees?

Thank you, Artesha & Ron, for being such awesome sports! We captured many more memories than shown. I am looking forward to your wedding next month! It's going to be gorgeous!

The Wedding of Elizabeth & Whiting!

Like the pastor said during the ceremony... you go through months and months of planning your wedding and it almost never goes the way you pictured it in your head! But it always works out! A summer storm came the afternoon of Elizabeth and Whiting's big day and didn't leave til after the ceremony. The electricity even flickered in Mulder Church... but everything turned out beautifully! 

Elizabeth was such a gorgeous bride - the details and colors were also amazing! I'll let the photos tell their story...I'm leaving out so much due to time, but they also did a precious First Look in the sanctuary - it totally calmed their nerves a bit before saying 'I do'!

The cake (by Cake Designs) and the lighting were amazing! You can't tell this is the fellowship hall/gym at all!

The beginning.

Congratulations Elizabeth and Whiting!

Thank you so much for the honor to be part of your day :)

Katie's Bridal Session!

Katie was just married a few weeks ago - thought I would finally get a few of my favorites from her bridal session posted! These were photographed mid-day in late April near Gulf Shores - right after news of the tragic oil spill. The beach was SO windy, we went to a nearby park instead.

Gorgeous!

The Wedding of Julia & Ryan!

Well there is one word that sums up this wedding: ROMANCE!!! There was definitely sparks of romance all over this wedding, in every detail and, of course, between Julia and Ryan :)

Their wedding was held recently at the Whitlock Inn...and despite the rain that came in right before the ceremony and kept things wet off and on that evening, it was an amazing event! I'll let the photos tell the story... many thanks to Evie Perez for assisting Julia and Ryan's wedding with me!

Glamour shot of a glamorous bride!

I love this shot by Evie... Julie getting more wedding ideas before walking down the aisle :)

Needless to say, they had a few Red Bulls before this shot...

You wouldn't know it from the shot, but the rain was just beginning.

First dance :)

Congratulations Julia & Ryan!

Here's to your new life together as one - and your upcoming adventures on your move out west. Many blessings to you! Thank you for having me (and Evie) as part of your day :)

More photos to appear on Facebook....

The Wedding of Jessica & Rob!

Jessica and Rob had a simple, sweet and elegant wedding at WynLakes Country Club last weekend! Despite the ceremony being so hot and humid, everyone had such an awesome time! It was definitely a celebration for this amazing couple's marriage. I'll let the images tell the story...!

These were very candid of Rob and his son as he was preparing him for the ceremony :)

More shots can be seen on Facebook...

Congratulations, Jessica & Rob! I am so honored to be a part of your day as your photographer and look forward to hanging out with you in the future! We're always here for you two!

The Wedding of Amber & Billy!

Well, I am so behind in blogging this gorgeous wedding! Good thing Amber & Billy had other things to worry about on the Big Island for their honeymoon! I'm so excited to post a few photos - there are SO many from this beautiful spring day at Brignoli Manor in Talladegha. Amber was glowing the entire day! Check out a few of the details...

You can't beat the food - Brignoli Manor also caters..love the cucumber sandwiches!

The flower girl stole quite a few kisses that evening... :)

Congratulations Billy and Amber! Thank you so much for having me as part of the day! God could not have worked out a more perfect day to celebrate you two becoming one!
