These are exciting times! Two more of my couples have been featured in the Hitched section of The Atlantan Brides magazine! This is such an elegant, sophisticated publication, and I love having my images featured. The images are from Pete & Rachel and Dave & Amna’s weddings.
Today I turn 25. I am officially a quarter of a century old! It’s amazing to me how I can feel so old and so young all at the same time. I remember being in high school and thinking that 25 was such a perfect and glamorous age. Now that I’m here, I can tell you that it isn’t quite perfect or glamorous, but it’s definitely a time in life worth celebrating! I have never felt more confident, accomplished, or beautiful as a person than I do right now. I’ve abandoned a large part of the confusion, doubt and insecurity that plagued me in high school and college, and I’m living in the freedom of God’s grace. Don’t get me wrong – I still stumble, fall and fail on a regular basis, but I am less afraid of failing now than I have ever been. I’ve learned the importance of making and learning from my mistakes, and I’ve learned how necessary it is to have the courage to get up off the ground, dust myself off and resume the pursuit of my goals.
Today, I lift my glass in a toast to birthdays. Here’s to success and failure; to making mistakes and setting them right; to living, laughing and having the courage to love completely even when faced with disappointment and heartbreak; to new adventures and old friends; to new friends and making memories; to embracing the downhill tumble toward 30. I pray that I find as much to celebrate in the next 25 years as I’ve found in the last. Cheers!

Happy Birthday!! I’m turning 25 this year too!! Woo Hoo!! I think of it as a celebration like you do. Have a WONDERFUL day!!!
When a young woman walks into her home and finds a stranger on her couch, your first thought usually isn’t, “They’ll probably fall in love.” Well, unless you’re talking about a romantic comedy of some sort. But that was the case with Tom and Tiffany. Tom, who is from London, was exploring the US and needed a place to crash for a few days. He connected with Tiffany through a series of mutual friends, and she invited him to stay with her while he was traveling through her area. She never imagined when she came home from the grocery store that day that she’d be meeting her future husband.
As they sat and talked that night, they discovered that they have a shared passion for literature and travel. They both studied literature in college, and they have a passion for seeing the world. Tom left sooner than either of them wanted, but a few weeks later called Tiffany to see if she’d be interested in joining in his travels for a week or so. She happily agreed, and they fell in love as they explored the North East US together. Their relationship has been full of adventure ever since.
They chose Destin as their wedding location because Tiffany’s family owns a condo on the beach, and they set their wedding date for 3 weeks later. Their wedding was intimate – less than 15 guests – beautiful, and a perfect. I am falling in love with small weddings, mostly because they connect me with incredible couples like Tom and Tiffany. I hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do!
