I was absolutely honored to be photographing the inaugural wedding at The Lodge at Woodloch. BUT I was even more honored to be photographing L & M's wedding!
L is the picture perfect bride... beautiful, elegant, bashful, genuine, sweet and so in love with her groom. M is tall, dark, handsome and so in love with L! The combination made for a beautiful union and day... I hope I can photograph their beautiful babies someday!
When I arrived to L's room before the ceremony she was telling me that the night before was quite the party.  There was an awesome band and her dad was in full "bump" party mode.  The "bump" is his signature dance move and I was so EXCITED to see it live later that day! Well I saw it and so much more.  This wedding was filled with family, fun, dancing, Love and more dancing!!! Cheers to L & M... may you "bump" your way through life! (or skydive, both appropriate!)

C & W planned their wedding from afar.... from colorado to be exact:) I can't imagine planning a wedding from across the country, let alone all of the details that were laid out so beautifully! Crystal (my assistant) and I always have a ball with bridal parties but I must say that this bridal party was an absolute blast! They were willing to do anything and laughed all the way through it:)
My favorite part of this entire day was that someone was really looking out for our bride... the weather threatened rain all day and right up until the outdoor ceremony the staff at skytop were busily checking radar.  The music started and one by one the girls started to walk down the isle.  By the second bridesmaid it had started raining and not that light soft barely there rain, it was a little more significant. People were starting to wonder if it would continue and then C started to walk and it completely stopped. Once she processed down the isle I am pretty sure everyone forgot about the rain and were so excited to see this event!
Cheers to C&W and may the rain always stop whenever you are around!

There is nothing I love more than a backyard wedding!  When you see this backyard you will know why I loved this one so much:)  I met with G & J last spring at the proposed location to get a "vision" of what the day might look like.... when I arrived last saturday it was SO much more than I could have dreamed. Photo opportunities EVERYWHERE! Crystal & I had so much fun wandering around snapping away and of course watching these two display their love all day! In fact, the love was coming from every direction... family, friends and even their sweet pup, Cooper!
Congratulations and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

This past saturday I spent the day shooting a beautiful wedding:) M & D had their day planned perfectly, no detail missed.... except the potential for rain I suppose!  You never know how the bride and groom are going to react when they have an outdoor reception on a super rainy day!  I think you will agree that the rain that fell around us went completely unnoticed to these two.  The love and sweet glances between them all day long gave me goose bumps! I felt so honored to be there with them, in the rain, having the best time!  Every guest at their wedding wore a smile from ear to ear and I think mostly because M has the MOST contagious smile you will ever see:) Thanks for inviting me to photograph your day and let the rain fall because I have never seen two people so happy and in love before!
Cheers!

The groom was gracious enough to text the vows to his bride so she could practice:)

This was one of my hardest sneak peeks to date.  This couple is so gorgeous and their day was so special that every image is an important part of the story of their wedding! A and I have been in contact for nearly two years and over those two years we have gotten to know each other very well.  I consider her a friend and it was an honor to be a part of her beautiful day.  Spending the morning with her sweet family and friends sealed the deal for me!  A... I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship:)


I arrived at the D family lake house to capture a few "getting ready" images....


love the hanger... each of A's girls had one for their dresses:)

I'm sorry for the delay, we're just returning from paradise! During our time away, I was able to relax, reflect and write from my heart. Thank you for capturing the fun loving couple we are and doing it so well. You are incredibly talented, Amanda. (not so bad at tying bows too!) Mike and myself are so happy we found you two years ago...not only to share our big day but, many more memories to come! We're thankful for your friendship, we just "clicked."
