Ahhh! Where can I even begin with Sarah and Mikey’s wedding!? Sarah got engaged not long after she started working for me, so I was a part of the plans from the beginning. Sarah really wanted her wedding to be different and she went with an old west theme, and carefully incorporated touches of Texas, Mikey’s home state. She was adamant that she wanted things to be authentic, to not be cookie cutter and to make things really fun. She undoubtedly succeeded!
More than the theme or the decor, the most notable thing of the day was the emotion. From Sarah’s tears reading Mikey’s letter, Mikey holding back a sob as his bride walked down the aisle, to Sarah’s squeal of joy as they were announced husband and wife and finally to their joined laughter as the ran through their ribbon exit. I feel so honored and privileged that I could be a part of their day and I am also proud of myself for managing to hold my own tears back!

Shelby and Blake had the perfect southern wedding at Tallahassee’s Southwood Plantation House. With no detail left unattended, the two exchanged vows under the ancient oak on the plantation house lawn. Their guests joined them under the chandeliers and garden lights behind the house for the reception. The day was beyond perfect– beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery, joyous guests and a truly awesome couple! Congratulations to Shelby and Blake!

When I photograph someone close to me, I get extra nervous. When its someone I love, I sweat bullets. I want to do my very very best work for them. For Sarah, we decided to do her bridal portraits while we were in Panama City working. We scouted several spots, but when the time came, we were running to stay ahead of the setting sun. In the end, the sun set in exactly the perfect way to give Sarah a surreal, golden glow. I sighed a big sigh of relief once I clicked the shutter because I knew I had captured Sarah just as I had imagined in my mind.

SQUEE! I adore photographing bridal portraits! Its a chance to get really beautiful images of the bride in a different location than the wedding. For Shelby, we wanted a rustic, southern feeling so we chose Shiloh Farms. Its such a quaint and serene location, but right before the session began, it burst out raining. We made the very best of a bad situation and used the Shiloh chapel and barn to create Shelby’s portraits. While it wasn’t the original plan, I really love how it worked out!

Some couples are really emotional on their wedding day and cry at the drop of the hat. Kelsey and Bryce are the TOTAL opposite. They both spent the entire day laughing and joking. It was so refreshing to see a couple so thoroughly enjoy each other and the celebration of their love!
