I just love a beach wedding!! And this past fall, I got to shoot two beach weddings in a row.  This time we headed down to St. Simons Island to celebrate Laura Beth and Jamie’s big day.  Their love story began on St. Simons when they were both living there.  So it was the perfect place  for them to get married.  They are just such a classic all American couple, and their wedding was a perfect reflection of that.  They really focused on the things that are most important to them and that is their families.  I just love both of these families.  It was such an honor to photograph their sweet day!

This day began at the Sea Island Lodge, where everyone got ready.  Laura Beth’s beautiful gown was designed by Adele Wechsler.bb_0001Family and tradition are very important to Laura Beth and Jamie.  Laura Beth wore jewelry that she borrowed from her mother.  The gorgeous pearl bracelet was a gift from her dad to her mom, and her sister, Ashley, also wore the bracelet on her wedding day.  (I had the honor of photographing this family heirloom for the second time!)bb_0002All of Laura Beth’s bridal details were so classic and beautiful.  I loved her Kate Spade shoes! bb_0003I just loved Laura Beth’s elegant updo by the fabulous Ashley Edenfield of The Back Porch.  You might remember Ashley because I shot her wedding a few years ago.  I love working with my former brides!   She is a fabulous hair artist as well!    bb_0004bb_0005

I am obsessed with the leafy lace detail!

bb_0010bb_0011While the girls were getting ready, the guys were enjoying a drink at the Lodge’s bar.  bb_0012Then it was time for Jamie to see his bride for the first time.  They chose this beautiful spot overlooking the water underneath the live oaks.  One of Laura Beth and Jamie’s favorite things about the island are all the beautiful live oaks.  So this was the perfect spot for a first look!bb_0013bb_0014bb_0015bb_0016

I just love Jamie’s expression and how he is holding her hand here!

One of Jamie and Laura Beth’s favorite things about the Lodge is the bagpiper who plays every night at sunset on the 18th hole of the golf course.  I also love this shot of Jamie’s dad, the best man, holding both the rings.  bb_0057bb_0058Laura Beth and Jamie used the live oak tree as the symbol of their day.  Not only did they see each other for the first time under the live oaks, but they also included live oaks on their invitation and wedding program.bb_0059The beautiful ringsbb_0060The couple exchanged vows at the Lovely Lane Chapel at Epworth by the Sea.  This quaint little chapel is the oldest standing building on St. Simon’s Island.  bb_0061bb_0062Jamie is beaming as he awaits his beautiful bride.bb_0063Laura Beth’s daddy walked her down the aisle.  bb_0064bb_0065bb_0066

Katie and Cory’s beautiful beach wedding at Jekyll Island was truly a day to celebrate!  Not only was this day a celebration of Katie and Cory’s love, it was also a day to create a new family!  It was so cool that Cory’s sons were a part of the ceremony, and now Katie is a wife and a stepmom!  They have been though so much together.  Cory has been battling melanoma throughout their relationship, and he found out right before the wedding that he’d have to have brain surgery eleven days after the wedding.  Thank the Lord the surgery was successful and Cory is on the road to recovery, but the hardships they’ve had in their relationship have made them a stronger couple and it made their wedding day even sweeter!   It was a wonderful weekend of celebration that I was honored to be a part of.  I have known Katie since she was a little 7th grader and she has grown into quite a beautiful lady.  So onto the day!

I love Katie’s beautiful dress!  And how cool is this dress form Katie got to display her lovely gown? b_00012

All that lace is to die for!

b_00021

b_00031b_00041Katie had the monogram from one of her dad’s shirts cut in the shape of a heart and sewn in her dress.  So sweet!b_00051I love Katie’s vintage ring, and her beautiful pearl earrings were bought in Alaska and were a gift from her aunt and uncle.  She wore two garters:  one UGA garter and one that her mom made for her.  b_00061b_00071

Inscribed inside both the wedding rings was ” all my love, all my life”

b_00082Katie is such a knock out.  She looks like a pinup girl with that ruby red pout!b_00092Katie’s lovely bridal bouquet and all the other gorgeous flowers were by Love Knotts Florist.b_00101b_00112In this light, Katie looks like an angel!b_00122b_00132b_00142It was a gorgeous day!  The beautiful blue sky and the ocean was the perfect backdrop for the couple’s first look on the beach.  b_00152Some sweet kissesb_00162b_00171b_00181b_00191Love those red shoes!b_00201b_00211b_00221b_00231b_00241They are a beautiful couple!b_00251b_00261Cory, looking debonairb_00271b_00281b_00292b_00301b_00311b_00321b_00331I love these!  So romantic!b_00341b_00351b_00361b_00371b_00381b_00391b_00401Katie is such a striking bride!b_00421b_00411The handsome groomsmenb_00431Katie and her ladies, striking a pose.b_00441b_00451b_00461Cory and his boysb_00471The new familyb_00481Katie and Cory’s ceremony was held at The Jekyll Island Club Hotel at Crane Cottage.  It was such a gorgeous venue.  And their ceremony was so sweet!  My favorite part was when everyone rang tiny bells to celebrate the couple’s first kiss.  Especially since the couple’s new last name is Bell!  They also had a white rose in honor of their loved ones that could not be with them. b_00491b_00501b_00511

Katie’s childhood friend, Anslee Connell sang for the ceremony…she has a voice like an angel.

I promised you some more fall goodness, and Jenn and John-John’s sweet fall themed wedding won’t disappoint!  They are such a sweet couple, and I had a great time photographing their special day.  They tied the knot at the First Baptist Church in downtown Vienna, GA, a quaint little southern town.  They had many friends and family to witness and celebrate their day.  Jenn is a Texas girl and met John John when she was growing up and she would come to Vienna to visit family. Who knew she would be meeting her future husband?  So onto the preview of their day!

Jenn’s lovely gownb_0001

Love her belt of flowers!

b_0002Jenn had some sweet and sentimental details from her family’s and from John-John’s.  Her “something old” was the beautiful handkerchief that belonged to John-John’s great grandmother, MaMa.  Her “something new” was her beautiful gown.  Her “something borrowed” was her mom’s diamond bracelet.  Her “something blue” was her garter.  And you’ve gotta love Jenn’s blinged out heels!b_0003b_0004When Jenn finally moved from Texas to Georgia, her mom stuck a $50 bill in the ashtray, just like in the Carrie Underwood song, “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.”  Jenn kept the $50 as a way to remember how special her relationship with her mom is and how much she loves her.  Of course, Jenn carried the $50 with her bouquet on her wedding day.  b_0005b_0006

Jenn’s MOH helped her with her jewelry!

b_0007b_0008Jenn and John-John had a sweet first look at square right across from the church on Church Street.  Love the street sign. b_0009b_0010John-John checking out his bride.b_0011

b_0078b_0079Perfect for this October wedding.b_0080b_0081Jenn and John-John’s delicious food was by Donna Stripling.  And of course, they gave their guests UGA coozies with their name and wedding date.  These two are big GA fans, so even though they chose to get married during football season, they made sure it was on GA’s off weekend.  b_0082First Danceb_0083b_0084b_0085

Happy New Year!

January 9th, 2012
 

Happy New Year!! 2011 was such an exciting year for me. I photographed so many amazing weddings! In fact, I have a few more fall weddings to share with you before I start debuting my 2012 brides.  So, check back later on this month for a few more fab fall weddings.
I already have some fun news to share with all of you. First of all, I’ve been published in a book. Yes, that’s right, a real hardback book! I’m very excited. It’s called A Time to Plant by James Farmer. And it’s a fantastic book! You should definitely check it out.  I had an amazing time working with him on Jennifer and Rob’s wedding!

I also had a wedding featured in The Best Couples of 2011 on Lucy Dylan Weddings.  So congratulations to Ginger and Preston!  They were such a fun couple with a beautiful and unique wedding.  It is nice to see it published one more time!

And some more exciting news. . . I’m getting a new and improved blog!! I can’t wait to debut it this month!  Some of you may have already noticed my new and improved logo, and now my blog is going to get all spruced up and fabulous too.   Can’t wait to show it off!

 

I’m so excited to share this beautiful wedding with you!  Elizabeth and James are such a sweet couple with such an awesome family.  And they chose such sweet and sentimental details to honor their parents and grandparents.  They are both so blessed to have both their parents giving them an amazing example of what marriage is.  I just love working with couples like them!  On top of all that they chose to get married on Elizabeth’s parents’ anniversary in the very same church where they exchanged vows nearly 30 years before.  What a  sweet tribute to her parents and their legacy of love!  I think that is pretty amazing so I had a good time making some new memories and recreating some really old poses!

So of course I wanted to get a shot of their invitations side by side.

blog_0021

Another Amazing story as we start their day…. Elizabeth enjoys journalling and had a special journal that she would write her thoughts and prayers in.  It originally belonged to her mother.  When she and James started dating, he happened to glance at the first page of the journal.  He recognized the handwriting and realized that the note in the front was from HIS mom!  Elizabeth’s mom and James’ mom were sorority sisters.  James’ mom gave Elizabeth’s mom the journal while they were in college, and they lost touch afterwards.  It wasn’t until James saw the journal that he realized their moms knew each other in college!  It’s amazing to see how God’s plan brings people together.

add-to-blog_0001

Elizabeth started her day by getting a Signature ‘do by the always fabulous Nichole Mitchell of Signature Salonblog_0001

Next we headed back to Elizabeth’s house where the girls got ready. I had to get some shots of Elizabeth’s gorgeous Melissa Sweet gown against this beautiful blue sky!  blog_00031blog_0004

I am obsessed with Elizabeth’s dress by Melissa Sweet.  I can honestly say that I would have wanted this dress had it been around when I got married!

blog_0005

At the house, Jennifer of Merle Norman did an awesome job with Elizabeth’s makeup!

blog_00021

The rings!  I love that James will be wearing his grandfather’s wedding band.  If you look closely you can see the wedding date of his grandparents engraved inside the ring, 10.10.53.  This was just one of the ways that Elizabeth and James celebrated the legacy of love in both their families.    The pearls she wore were from her grandmother; every year she got a pearl to add to the stand.  I love it! blog_0006These shoes. . . I die for these shoes!!  Thank you Vera Wang! blog_00071blog_00081Elizabeth’s mom and sisters helped her get into her dress.  I loved the moment when her daddy saw her for the first time!  So sweet!blog_0009I love the opportunity to shoot some day-of bridals at the bride’s childhood home.

Love this veil!blog_0050blog_0051I just loved this moment!  Elizabeth’s brother, George delivered a letter and a gift from James before the ceremony.  Elizabeth read the letter and was really emotional and excited to open her present.  But when she opened the present, she was confused.  Apparently her brother accidentally gave her his groomsman gift instead of the real gift.  haha!!blog_0052

All the flower girl wants for Christmas is…

her two front teeth!  Adorable!

blog_00861The delicious cakes were created by Kenya Brooks of B. Sweet Cake Boutique.  Kenya is also a friend of Elizabeth’s from design school.  blog_0087blog_0088

She had a vintage travel theme and used old suitcases and hat boxes for the cake stands!  LOVE!

blog_0100blog_01011Instead of tossing the bouquet, Elizabeth gave it to her mom in honor of her parents’ wedding anniversary. blog_0102In keeping with the travel themed reception, they had suitcases full of sparklers for the big leave.  When it was time to leave, Elizabeth and James hopped into his dad’s vintage MG convertible.  James had to learn to drive manual really quickly, and I think he was more nervous about this leave than anything the entire day!  blog_0103

blog_01051

He only had one little stall out…and everyone cheered!

blog_0104blog_0106Thanks for sharing this special day with me!  I love to be a part of such a sweet celebration of love!

Maggie & Myles

December 6th, 2011
 

It was such a privilege to photograph Maggie and Myles’ wedding.  They are such a beautiful couple, and so sweet!  And what a huge group of family and friends that just love them and were such a big a part of their day!  I got to work with some of my fav vendors that all worked perfectly together to make their day perfect!  It was truly a blessing to see them make their vows in marriage before God and then celebrate the night away!  What a spectacular event this family put on!

After getting gorgeous at Amanda Jane Salon in downtown Macon, the girls headed to the church to get dressed.  forblog_0001

I love that both Maggie and Myles’ rings engraved with their wedding date!

October…the…

eighth!

forblog_0003forblog_0004Maggie had lots of sentimental details.  I loved the garter made from lace from her mother’s wedding dress, monogrammed with her parents’ wedding date and Maggie and Myles’ wedding date.  Maggie also used an Auburn garter to toss, since she is a tiger.   Her “Something New” was her gorgeous gown.  Her “Something Borrowed” was a sash she borrowed from her sister-in-law, Betsy, and a pearl bracelet she borrowed from her mom.  Her “Something Blue” was the blue hankie used by Betsy at her wedding.  She also has adorable Kate Spade shoes and a beautiful clutch that her sweet mama gave her.forblog_0005forblog_0006forblog_0007

Her gorgeous dress in the beautiful autumn leaves.

Elizabeth & David: Engaged!

November 23rd, 2011
 

Elizabeth and David are such a sweet couple!  I’ve gotten to know them at church, and it’s great to see their love story unfold.  They first met when David was playing in Mercer’s RUF band and Elizabeth was singing.  But it wasn’t a love connection right away.  Elizabeth thought David was really really quiet and she didn’t really get to know each other.  But they reconnected at an engagement party for Alex and John Camp (Remember them??) at The Hummingbird.  And from there, they fell in love.  I love how God works out His perfect plan in His perfect timing!  I am honored to be a part of their big day!   For their engagement session, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and fall leaves and headed up to Coleman Hill, the site of their first date! en_0001en_0002Elizabeth is going to be a beautiful bride!en_0003en_0004en_0005

I love the skyline of downtown Macon in the fall!  You can see the steeple of First Pres Church where the two will tie the knot in February!

en_0006en_0007en_0008en_0009en_0010This bench is very special to Elizabeth and David.  On their first date, this is the spot where David told Elizabeth how serious he was about her.  He told her he wanted to date her because he thought she might be the one!  And he was right!   en_0011en_0012en_0013en_0014en_0015en_0016en_0017en_0018en_0019en_0020Love these shots under the trees!en_0021en_0022en_0023en_0024

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Laura Beth & Jamie’s wedding!  Koutsunis and I headed down to beautiful Saint Simon’s Island for the weekend and had a lovely time capturing this sweet couple’s day!  It was filled with two sweet families coming together to celebrate God’s goodness to them both.  It was such a joy to be a part of such sweet celebration and joy.  Here are just a couple of my favs!

Laura Beth was a stunning bride! untitled-19-2
