Allison Bridals

Here is the lovely Allison!  What more can I say?  A wonderful woman with great shoes and an awesome sense of style.  She made my job a breeze, then again most of my brides do.  How do I get so lucky?  I will keep my prayers up that is for sure because someone seems to be listening. 

The Fam

 

Can you guess who is my husbands cousin?  It isn't too hard to see this family resemblance.  We will miss these guys. Some of the few people with odd idea's just like mine!  Have fun in China guys I may miss you but I am also very jealous of the fabulous opportunity you have!  

I think Grandma may miss them more than me! 

Sara Kennedy

 

This little beauty is leaving my poor son and moving to China.  My husbands cousin's little one her and Gavin could easily pass for siblings and repeatedly do.  The whole time I was shooting Gavin had his camera and was joining in on his own shoot.  It was so much fun shooting side by side with my son.  After I was through he had Colby take some of him and his bestest friend.  Poor little guy he is going to miss her.  She was so much fun to shoot at one point I told her not to smile cause I was just testing the light and she said "I can't 

I am a smiley girl."  She is sweet cousin and we will miss her even if she does come back to visit often, which she better!  

 

Yet another Amy

It has been a fun year to have so many brides named Amy but I am sure the rest of you must think I am in love with my name and keep giving these brides fake names but I swear this is not the case.  this Amy even shares the same last name as another Amy I am shooting.  How can you not laugh when you have my job!  Each girl is so unique and with such beauty to capture they may share names but that is where the similarity ends.  Amy has the most astounding eyes.  Not only does she have two eyes with different colors but the one with hazel is only half hazel and half this amazing blue.  You know me and eyes I had to try to show that off!  It was a little tricky but I think we did it.  Such a super sweet girl with a dress and style all her own!  She has traveled the world and is now settling in with the love of her life.  Good luck and I can't wait to meet your beau on Sunday!! 

Another lovely bride is wed!

Lyndsie is so much fun.  She let me drag her through a tick infested field, an old barn, duke gardens, the tower even the side of the road, just cause I liked the purple flowers!  But I think it was worth it for her! Her step mom was fun too she got questioned by a few of our men in blue as to why she was on the side of the road.  LOL this was too much fun.   Lyndsie is a dream and I am so lucky to be a part of this special time in her life.   

Can you see her little friend?  I think this is one of my favorite shots ever. 

Barefoot and Beautiful!

  

Now that I have seen this little woman married I can post her amazing pictures!  I met Whitney and Daniel with her father early last year.  Daniel is one of my amazing grooms who pretty much planned his whole wedding because Whitney was super busy doing student teaching.  I immediately fell in love with them as a couple.  She came in with an infectious smile and just cuddled up on the couch with Daniel.  I loved how she seemed to just be at home wherever she was and he couldn't look at her without melting.   Her dad was beaming and I knew this was going to be a wonderful ride.  We did their engagements and they were amazing totally at ease and so easy to set up.  Whitney and I took a few minutes afterward to talk about her bridals.  She hadn't had hardly a minute to think about hair or anything.  So she told me what she was thinking and I gave her a few idea's from my little knowledge and together we came up with a pretty cool idea and two weeks later I was trying to create it.  I think we did a pretty good job considering I am no hairdresser or florist.  I truly think the bride made it all work. With that infectious calm giddiness that just makes me smile and a love of  life that just draws you in how can you not go gaga over the idea of capturing her.
