Married! Brian & Erin : Augusta, GA

April 18, 2012

To say that I was excited to be part of Erin & Brian’s wedding day would be a supreme understatement! Erin is one of my sorority sisters and biggest supporters, and her passion for my work fueled my passion to share her wedding. Two days before her wedding, my dad was admitted into the ICU due to complications from surgery, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to share her day with her. I had a backup photographer ready to take my place if need be, but he improved overnight and Saturday I headed down to Augusta to document and celebrate their amazing wedding. It was a beautiful spring day, and I am so glad that I was able to be there! Brian and Erin, thank you for your understanding and your prayers. Your wedding day was incredible, and I’m so glad I didn’t have to entrust your memories to someone else!

Sunflowers are Erin’s favorite flower, so of course her bouquet was full of them!

I went a little crazy with pictures of the bride. Forgive me – she’s just such a stunner!

STOP. IT. Erin, you’re GORGEOUS!

Work it, girl

Every beautiful bride needs an equally handsome groom, and this is Erin’s. Meet Brian.

Their wedding ceremony took place at The Partridge Inn, a classicly styled venue in Augusta.

After the ceremony, we headed down to the River Walk for their portraits together. The light was amazing!

Way to rock the model face, Erin!

I love you guys. Seriously, you’re amazing.

I love everything about this photo. The light. The pose. The expression on Erin’s face. All priceless!

Erin you were SUCH a radiant bride.

GAH. Amazing. And I didn’t even have to tell her to do this. She’s such a natural.

The Partridge Inn has an amazing view of the skyline from their penthouse rooftop patio.

Brian and Erin, thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your wedding! It’s a day I will not soon forgetI wish you joy and lots of adventures in your married life!

Engaged! Clayton & Melanie : Nash Farm

April 11, 2012

While photographing these two together, I found myself saying over and over again, “You two look so natural together!” Melanie’s response was, “I hope so. We’ve got plenty of experience taking pictures together!” I’ve known these two since I was in high school, and they’ve been dating almost as long as I’ve know them. They are an adorable pair who love to joke, laugh and serve the Lord together. Melanie was all smiles from the moment the session started. “I laugh when I’m nervous!” she declared. I smiled and thought, And this is why you’re my perfect client. I love to photograph joy, and these two are amazingly joyful together. I’m so excited to be spending their wedding with them in June!

Married! Cory & Meagan : Chateau Elan

April 6, 2012

I am honored to be a part of all of my couples’ wedding celebrations, but I have to say that this wedding holds a special place in my heart. Meagan booked me for her wedding about a year ago, and at the time she was planning an entirely different event than the one you’ll see in these images. During her engagement, her family suffered a significant loss, and she had to completely re-imagine her wedding day. The result, I think, was incredible. They had a quiet, intimate ceremony in the art gallery at Chateau Elan and their reception followed in the cask room. Every detail of the day was beautifully put together, and though there were moments of sadness for Cory and Meagan, the day was also full of unimaginable joy.

Meagan had her father’s wedding band tied to her bouquet so that a piece of him would be with her throughout the day.

Goodness, Meagan, you look STUNNING!I could have photographed you all day!

Denise Myers with TruSo Weddings put together a beautiful bridal bouquet for Meagan.

I loved when I get to see my brides again! I photographed Derek & Jessica’s wedding back in 2009.

Is it just me, or does Cory look stunned by the sight of his beautiful bride walking down the aisle? I love this moment!

After the ceremony, we headed out to the winery for their portraits together. The vineyard isn’t lush and green just yet, but the stormy skies and the Chateau provided a beautiful backdrop for us!

See what I mean about those skies? Beautiful!

I am officially a huge fan of Chateau Elan’s cask room. The warm tones and wooden wine barrels combine to provide a unique, intimate setting for a wedding reception.

Cory & Meagan chose to have a candy bar instead of a traditional groom’s cake. I love all of the bright colors they used! And I also loved that they had chocolate bar wrappers printed with their last name.

Meagan had a special table set up in honor of her dad. The poem that she displayed was so tender and sweet.

Cory & Meagan, it was truly a joy to be a part of your wedding day! I know that over the last few months you’ve shared lots of tears, and I hope and pray that the time you share together in the future will be filled with laughter, joy and shared adventures!
