Missy and Cody were recently married, and I’m so pleased so share some photos of their special day!  I think the photos speak for themselves… Missy was a beautiful bride, Cody was a handsome groom, Grandview on Lookout Mountain in Tennessee was such a perfect location and the day was amazing!

And check out the bridesmaids’ super cute accessories!

Missy and Cody, your wedding day was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph what I hope is one of your most cherised memories.  I wish you two a lifetime of happiness together!

Thanks again to Stefani for coming all the way from South Carolina to second shoot with me!

Angela is one of my angels.  She came into my life last year in a huge time of need.  Sometimes in sorrow and despair people reach out to you because of their kind hearts, selflessness and human spirit.  I know Angela is this person, not only to me, but to everyone she meets.

Last year right after my brother Lucas was killed in a tragic car accident, I needed help with my business – I just couldn’t do it all on my own anymore.  I was broken hearted and was in the middle of my busiest wedding season ever.  Angela found me through a post my other beloved friend Kricia Morris tweeted about me needing some help and about the loss of my brother.  I had never met Angela before and she wrote me the sweetest email offering her own words of hope and encouragement and that she would help me in what ever capacity I needed.  I will never forget our first lunch date – we clicked instantly.

Over the past  year or so, we have been growing our friendship she has helped me more than I could ever repay her.  She is always selfless and kind. Angela is  the kind of friend I wish everyone could have.

Angela, I want to thank you so much for being such a great friend during such a low point in my life. The few people like you and Kricia who really pushed me and helped me to keep going are really what this business is and in reality should be about – relationships.  It is my honor to call you both my friends.  I love you gals!

And without further babbling, I give you Angela 34 weeks pregnant with what I am sure is a little angel of her own.

My cousin Miranda recently wed down by the Gulf!  I enjoyed being a guest at the wedding, but of course I snapped a few of the family and the ceremony.  I couldn’t resist!  Here’s just a couple that I wanted to share with you guys.  Congratulations, Miranda!

Maigan and Marcus were married recently at the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham’s LINCPoint in Homewood, AL.  Maigan is originally from Oregon, but both she and her husband now live in Atlanta!

They were blessed with a beautiful day and great weather, and were surrounded by lots of family and friends.  Speaking of friends… how much do you love those slightly-mismatched bridesmaid dresses?!  They were such a great touch, and looked beautiful all together.

FlowerStems provided the floral arrangements, and they were beautiful, as always!  Maigan and Marcus, thanks so much for inviting me to share your special day with you!  I wish you all the love in the world.

I met Codie and Brandon out at an old Grist Mill for their session, and the location turned out to be a fantastic choice!  The weather, however, was a little more fickle.  We had to battle lots of bugs and crazy humidity all day, but it ended up being a great session that we all had fun with!

Codie and Brandon as a couple are so comfortable together, and you can really see the love there.  As individuals, they are just as awesome!  Codie is such a sweetheart and has the most beautiful eyes I’ve seen in a long time.  Brandon is quite the charmer, and he was so much fun to be around!

Codie and Brandon, I had so much fun with you for this session, and I can’t wait to meet up again in September for your wedding!

This latest post is dedicated to Brandi and Chris and their incredible wedding!  They were blessed with such beautiful weather, and it really helped give their special day that extra oomph!

We shot photos at a bed and breakfast, an old wedding chapel from the 1800s and an old farm, all out in the Colombiana area.  All in all, it was an amazing day, and I’m so happy I could capture it for these two!  Brandi and Chris, congratulations!  I wish you all the love and happiness your hearts can hold, and then some.

Amber and Jason (who goes by Baines) were recently married!  They were wed in Decatur, Alabama a few weeks back on an especially chilly day… brrr!  The brisk weather didn’t interfere too much, though, and they had a beautiful day together spent with family and friends surrounding them.

These two are originally from Hawaii… how cool is that?!  Because of this, their family and friends flew in from all over the place, and it really made the day that much more special for all involved.  After their ceremony, the reception was held at an intimate restaurant called Curry’s.  It was perfect!

For the couple-y shots, we meandered all over the city to find different locations and cool places to shoot, and I’d say we were pretty successful!  In addition, Amber’s wedding day attire was impeccable: a handmade birdcage veil, button bouquets, purple flowers… and a dress with POCKETS!  She totally rocks for that, and looked beautiful all day.  Baines looked particularly handsome as well, I really loved his tie.

Amber and Baines… thank you so much for the opportunity to spend the day with you on one of the most important days in both of your lives.  I had a blast with you, you’re such a fun and loving couple!  I had a wonderful time shooting your wedding, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

After a short wait, here are more photos from Missy & Cody’s session.  I was glad to see you were all liking hte little teaser, so get ready for this post full of even more pictures!  Missy, Cody and I went to Chattanooga to shoot at Lookout Mountain.  It’s such a gorgeous location!

As I said in the teaser post… these two are so sweet together.  They each have great hearts, and when combined, produce something magical.  Just looking at them, it’s easy to tell that they’ll have a lifetime of happiness together!

Doesn’t Missy have amazing eyes?!  Their wedding will also be at Lookout Mountain at an amazing venue!  Missy and Cody, I can’t wait to return to photograph your wedding!  We’re going to have an amazing time.  Thanks again for letting me shoot you, I hope you enjoy these pictures!

Just a quick teaser of the amazing session I had with Missy and Cody this weekend in Chattanooga.  They were such a fun and sweet couple to work with, and we lucked out and had amazing weather!  More photos from this awesome day will be coming soon!

I recently shot an engagement session for such a wonderful couple, Carrie and Chris.  They wanted to shoot at Kymulga Grist Mill, such a cool and gritty location!  It was the perfect contrast to their relaxation around each other.  The day was cool and sunny, perfect for an engagement shoot!

Carrie and Chris make a great couple.  They are a perfect complement to each other; so funny and full of laughter!  They are so sweet and caring around each other, and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in a few months!

I made a sweet little kitten friend while shooting, and he was with us for the whole session!  He’s hiding in two of the pictures in this post, can you find him?!
