Oh my goodness y'all.....this wedding was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! From the minute I drove up to the venue - I just knew it was going to be a special one! Mikayla and Lee both have the sweetest, most joyful souls and it was such an honor being their photographer!!! Definitely a great way to end my 2019 wedding year, that's for sure!!! Phew! π
TEARS OF JOY. Not only did I get to celebrate my sweet college roommate saying "I Do" to her very best friend.....I got to also experience all the beautiful behind the scenes moments of her WHOLE entire day!!!! Being by Maggie's side when her father broke down in tears when he saw her in her wedding gown for the first time to hearing Ethan's sweet uplifting whispers during their first look - saying how much he loved her and how beautiful she was to me carefully putting her veil on for after-ceremony couple portraits (yes I gave myself a high five when I did this) to riding around in their getaway car with them while the driver blasted "Happy" by Pharrell Williams....you could say my heart was freaking FULL and overflowing with joy.
Absolutely loveeeeeed tonight's session with Ansly and Chad! We laughed, huffed n' puffed together up the mountain, and talked about all things life related! It was so good catching up with Ansly (we went to high school together) and photographing her with her hubs! Give me all the fall photoshoots y'all - the colors are to DIE for!!! ππ
Y'ALL.....THIS NIGHT WAS.....AMAZING!!!! Gosh, I seriously cannot even believe or begin to describe how amazing this session was with Josie and Derrick! We had the best weather, the best sunset, and the best time together! β€π Fall engagement session season is heeeerreeeee and I'm LOVING it! π
AND......THEY'RE MARRIED!!! β€π Gosh, this wedding was ONE FOR THE books!! From hearing Levi's sweet handwritten vows, to watching his adorable grandfather officiate the wedding ceremony, to seeing all the bridesmaids tear up when they saw Madison's beautiful dress, to working alongside Cold Creek Farm's AMAZING staff, and to last but not least - seeing my boyfriend be the best man for his best friend's wedding.....well.....you could say my heart was FULL by the end of the weekend. The rain and wind couldn't stop their day from being absolutely perfect and I'm so glad they got the wedding day of their dreams!! CONGRATS to the newlyweds!!! ππππ
Leading up to this wedding weekend, I was so nervous because the weather forecast said it was going to be pouring down rain RIGHT when portraits were supposed to startβ¦..but God PROVIDED - yaβll. We had the best weather, a perfect breeze, shade for portraits, and nooooooo rain fall at ALL! Holly and Daniel had the sweetest ceremony held in their churchβs chapel - surrounded by loved ones and lots of gorgeous sunflowers so of course it was the best day ever!
All I can say is......WOW. This wedding was an absolute DREAM. π I cannot even begin to explain how blessed I felt to be apart of Ali and Brett's beautiful day! Literally everything - from her dress, the GORGEOUS venue, his sweet reaction during the first look, and all the special moments in between......just made my photographer heart explode!!!
May or may not have left this photoshoot with a sinus infection but hey.....no pain - NO GAME.....am I right?!?! π€£ But of course, these two love birds made it worth it! π We laughed, twirled, tried to befriend a herd of deer, and overall had the greatest time ever during their engagement session! I always forget how beautiful Berry College is until I take the drive up there and drive through that gorgeous front entrance. Takes my breath away EVERYTIME. ππ
I walked 9,691 steps on this day, told by my watch, but it was so worth it for Bailley and Robert's beautiful wedding!!!! π Everything about this wedding day was so sweet and so heartfelt. I haven't photographed a first look in what feels like forever because a lot of my couples love seeing each other for the first time during the ceremony but PHEW, Bailley and Robert's first look brought me to TEARS. Their love for each other and the way Robert was absolutely speechless when his bride tapped his shoulder to turn around....I mean how could you not love that??? ππΈπ
Oh how I loved last night with this sweet couple!! The perfect lighting, their adorable giggles, and the amazing pop of color throughout the whole garden was justβ¦..FLAWLESS. π
