As the ceremony ended, Anna+Andy was game for heading downtown for a quick portrait session at the Pedestrian Bridge. A thunderstorm started to blow up in the distance. We hurried back to the reception and on our way we met the storm…crazy lightning, thunder, and rain! It lasted for a little while, but didn’t stop the band and the guest from having a good time! Be sure to check out I Do Flix’s clip of their wedding day!
Erin+Derrick were married June 12, 2010 at Saint Mark United Methodist Church in Vestavia, AL. I LOVED working with these two. They have been together for four years and met in a history class at Berry College. They decided to see each other before the wedding and I absolutely LOVED their reaction! So SWEET! Their reception was held at Vestavia Country Club. We decided to sneak out of the reception for a few more shots…so glad we did…the light was gorgeous!!! Here are a few of my favorites!
Elizabeth+Chris were married June 5 at Homewood Church of Christ. They are such a sweet couple! Here are a few quick favs!
Carrie + Chris married May 8 at Mathews Manor. They are one of the sweetest couples to date! I loved working with them. Here are just a few of my favorites. (Sorry for it being short and sweet…trying to catch up) 
Hannah + Eddy had the sweetest outdoor wedding. I love the rustic country feel that was throughout the entire wedding. The married April 10 at Camp Sumatanga. What a gorgeous location! Not only is it a gorgeous location, but it is where Hannah’s parents were married! Hannah + Eddy’s first look was right where they had their wedding ceremony! Once we started, we walked a little bit around the lake and then headed up to the chapel at the top of the mountain, such an amazing view! During the ceremony Eddy sang to Hannah, everything about them is so sweet! Then we headed back down to the reception which was decorated by Hannah and her mom! They are so talented! Bo and I had an awesome time working with you guys! Congratulations! 
Hannah’s something blue!

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!
