Something else I am working on! I LOVE my job! 
Now on to the ceremony, reception, and a few more portraits! Shana+Tom have lots of close family & friends with children, so they had lots of sweet little bell ringers, ring bearers, and flower girls. They all did so good, one flower girl even fell asleep! Shana’s grandfather escorted her down the aisle to her father. Shana has an extremely close relationship with her grandfather. In fact they were married on his 87th birthday, how special! The ceremony was filled with beautiful songs, prayer, and vows. It was a very emotional and sweet ceremony, many happy tears were shed! The reception was held in the gorgeous ballroom! Oh, and the bride’s cake was Shana’s recipe, icing and all! How awesome to have your own recipe for your wedding cake! Once Shana+Tom left in the horse & carriage, we decided it was time for a few more portraits! I LOVE when I have an opportunity to spend a little extra time with the Bride&Groom. The evening light was stunning! Shana+Tom, thank you so much for allowing Bo and I to capture your wedding day! We were honored to be there not only as photographers, but as friends! Love you guys!

Where do I begin? I LOVED everything about this wedding…beautiful weather, gorgeous details, and an amazing couple so in love with God! Shana+Tom were a photographer’s dream! When I first met with Shana I pinched myself…I thought she was a bride I had dreamed up. She began to share all the details, which you can see for yourself…amazing! They were married March 28 at The American Village. Since there are so many images I want to share, I am going to blog in parts. Here is Part I : Details, First Look, & a few Portraits!

I wanted to post a few more of this sweet little one! Rachel works at the Salon I go to, be sure to check out their Facebook Page! I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph Rachel and her beautiful family. Thank you guys so much!
I drove up to Athens to meet Anna+Andy for their engagement session a little over a week ago. This was during the process of Bo and I working like crazy to get our new home(well, not so “new”, but new to us) ready for us to move into by the end of March. Anyway, Anna+Andy was a breathe of fresh air. They were so fun, sweet, in love, and a blast to photograph. They brought along Patton, their sweet boxer that I kept calling “Drake”. I have the tendency to give my clients and their pets new names, not sure why. Please forgive me for that, lol! Anna had some great ideas and locations for their session. One being a truck that her late grandfather had restored. It was the last truck he finished before he passed. It is something very sentimental to their family. Her father had to sell it a few years ago, but luckily it was to a family friend that Anna still has contact with. She is surprising her father with these photos…LOVE it! I cannot wait for the wedding in Nashville this June!
