On May 16th Angel married her Airman Andy! It was a honor to photograph such a sweet and loving couple. Their day was filled with Angel’s creativity and lots of personal touches. The wedding took place at Pineola Farms and the Cotton Barn. It is a beautiful venue and I cannot say enough great things about Paul and Delise Knight. They are a well oiled wedding machine and their assistant Jessica was my right hand gal. You guys rocked! I cannot wait to work with you again! Ok, so onto the wedding preview.
The day started at Dempsey Salon for the ladies. Jennifer Dempsey (jennifer@dempseysalon.com) did a fab job with all the ladies hair. She even had little treats and an awesome set up for the girls to work on hair and makeup.
Angel had a photo saved of their trial run.
Then we headed to the farm. Here are some of the MANY details from the day!
As you can see the theme was a garden/farm style wedding; with lots of yellow and blue accents. I especially loved her use of the old blue Mason jars. Delise Knight is a talented florist and did an incredible job bringinAngel’s concepts together perfectly. I still cannot get over the bride’s bouquet that was made of 19 Peonies wrapped carefully with two of Angel’s grandparent ’s handkerchiefs. The little yellow flowers were just perfect and so unusual …they are called Billy Balls. (so cute )
The dress and shoes.
With a little help from mom… Angel was picture perfect.
There are so many places at the farm house /bridal suite to photograph a blushing bride! Here are a few of my favorites of Angel.
I love these two!
Angel’s bridesmaids were so fun…they even took some posing lessons.
Andy was tall dark and handsome.
Another cool detail: as the bride and groom left at the end of the night they ran through these little paper airplanes. Fitting since Andy is a pilot.
Guys being guys.
Ring shot! Funny story. Andy lost his ring snorkeling on the honeymoon and a couple of days later another snorkeler found it!!! What are the chances?
Then just in time for the ceremony the clouds came out.
We had to regroup for an indoor ceremony. I was saying rain, rain go away and while we waited…The folks at Pineola took lemons and made lemonade. Paul Knight collected some of the rain water in a jar and gave it to the bride and groom to save and use some day for their first child’s baptism.
So it was time to tie the knot Cotten Barn style. Andy had an emotional moment as he saw his bride for the first time.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
I loved that they opened up the barn doors so we still had the feel of being outside.
Sweetness.
The smooch!
Group shot.
The Poes!
Their first dance as man and wife.
Katerings by Kelly ( 478-987-0806) did a wonderful job with the yummy food! And do you recognize those cakes?
That is right its Lisa Shepley with Lisa Mae Cakes! I got together with her recently and got to photograph some of her cakes here. She is such an artist and I loooooved Andy’s cake!
Andy and Angel are scotch connoisseurs so instead of toasting with champagne…they went Poe style and sipped scotch.
The sunshine came out so we went out so the couple could get romantic.
Then it was time to get their dance on!
The airplanes were flying.
Thank you Angel and Andy for sharing your day with me. I feel so blessed to have captured the day you began your journey as man and wife. Your friends and family and everything that you put into making your day special really shined through the thunderstorm. I hope you have enjoyed your wedding preview! I look forward to sharing all your wedding images with you!

I was able to get a group shot from the second floor balcony!
The happy couple!
Thanks Jessica and Michael for letting me in on your surprise! Congrats and best wishes!
After shooting some romantics on the tarmac…. Matt arranged for all of us to go up in one of the planes with an instructor. I was so pumped!
