Checking in and catching up

Posted on November 23, 2010

I’ve taken the week off from my day job, which means a week full of family, fun, great food, errands that I can’t take care of during a regular week (i.e. dental appointments for me and all four of my children and renewing my drivers license) and, of course, editing!

This is what I’m working on:

1. Jamie & Jacob’s wedding

2. Meagan & Will’s love session

3. Morgan & David’s wedding

4. Ashtyn & Matt’s engagement session

I intend to have the first two sessions listed fully edited by Sunday and the other two by Dec. 12.

Thanks so much for your patience!

Happy Thanksgiving – hope you enjoy turkey, family and making memories!





Photo Friday: Dark

Posted on November 5, 2010

Jamie and Jacob were married on October 16, 2010 at Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church, the oldest church in Tipton County. Their wedding took place at sunset and we’d planned on shooting photos inside the church following the ceremony because we knew we’d run out of daylight.

When we went outside to leave for the reception, I noticed there were lights above the doors (and cue the angels singing!). This shot is one of my favorites from their wedding day, which I am still working on editing. More photos soon, I promise, but I couldn’t not share this one!





Sneak peek: Jonathan & Christy

Posted on March 21, 2010

Last weekend I shot the simple, sweet wedding uniting Jonathan, Christy and their children.

Christy, her daughter and new stepdaughters spent the morning bonding at the nail and hair salons, getting gorgeous before they became a family. Christy, I was told, even drove through the McDonald’s drive-thru with her veil on! So cute.

Though this was her second wedding, this was Christy’s first wedding dress (she was excited because she’d never had one before) and her oldest stepdaughter (MM) proudly helped her get ready.

A quick candid shot while getting dressed. Christy’s daughter MG is quite the ham! Her other stepdaughter, SM, had a case of the nerves, poor thing.

Before the ceremony, they played Kenny G on the iPod downstairs as well as up in the sanctuary. MM told us she is not getting married for 30 years -  we’ll see about that!

Meanwhile, the groom and IG, his stepson, goofed around upstairs.

IG really, really didn’t want to smile. I have a feeling this is much more his speed.

The ceremony was attended by the family only, with the exception of two officiants, a videographer and me. Well, and the lovely Holly who manned the sound system. It was over pretty quickly and Jonathan swooped in for a kiss that lasted about a millisecond, then sweetly hugged his new wife.

Afterward, they prayed together as a family. I like how IG is trying his best to keep his eyes closed! Ha.

Jonathan and Christy, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day! I hope it is the beginning of some of the best days of your lives. (PS – You have four awesome children!)

And Christy, you looked simply beautiful. Congratulations!
