Sarah, oh Sarah I am so excited that I get to photograph your wedding! Sarah is a kindred spirit because she is also a P.K. (preacher’s kid), like me.  I met Sarah years ago and last year she was a bridesmaid in one of my weddings.  She has found her one and only and so it’s her turn to take the spot light.  She and Brant met though work and even with the long distance it was an instant connection.  They were both in Macon a couple of weeks ago for wedding planning so we squeezed in their engagement session between their premarital counseling and Sarah’s dress fitting.  It was a blast and I am glad that I finally got to spend some time with Brant and see first hand what an awesome guy he is.  Ok, ok onto their engagement session.  We started with a nature vibe.

Newspaper shot.

Check out Sarah’s bling….so unusual and pretty!

We had some amazing sunlight to work with.

Brent has some beautiful blues.

Love this sun flare, I almost went blind shooting this, but well worth it!

Love these in the grass.

By FAR…one of my absolute favorites.  All that sunshiney goodness!

Then we headed downtown for the second part of their session.  Since Sarah and Brant live in different cities they spent a lot of their relationship flying back and forth from Atlanta, GA to Dallas,TX.  I hope one day they look back at these fun images and remember the romance and excitement of seeing each other after weeks apart and hours of travel!  Btw, Sarah knows how to work a red suitcase and shoes! Adorable!

How cute are they?

They both have amazing eyes, I wonder what color their kids will get one day?

Smooches!

Possibly their Save the Date.  I will post again when we get something designed.

I love, love, love how just their shoes are in focus!

Sweetness.

Hailing a cap! LOL.

Sarah doing her thing. I cannot wait to get this gal in a wedding dress!

LOL.Then up to the rooftop of the parking garage for some amazing sky shots.  God was really good to us.

I have NO words!

Love the color!

Thanks Sarah and Brant for spending the morning with me.  I had a blast working with both of you, and I am looking forward to your big day.  There were so many more that I just loved from your session that it was really hard to just pick these few for the blog….so make sure you check out the link!!!

Hello there blog readers!  I have been soooo busy with work and work and um work! I am so honored to be a part of all of my clients’ lives and especially honored to have been part of Kari and Brian’s big day!  I am sorry it has taken me so long to post this blog.  I have been dying to show you some more of the images from your wedding.  It was so beautiful!  We were worried about rain and of course it was an outside wedding…but the weather ended up being pretty much perfect for the couple.  Laney Puckett at Houston Lake Country Club did an incredible job with the set up, catering, and just keeping the ball rolling smoothly.  Also, I got to work with the fab Kevin Nickels of DKH entertainment who not only did all the music for the ceremony, but he and his handy assistant Kristen kept the dance floor rockin’ all night! Ok, so onto the wedding preview!!  Here is Kari having her makeup done by the fab Valerie Rankin.

Kari’s dress was absolutely perfect for her….and her artsy mother actually made her waistband that accented her wedding dress! She also made the flower girls basket and the ring bearer’s pillow! Incredible!

Shoe-ez.

Flowers by Helen did a beautiful job with the flowers.  I absolutely love the texture of the tulips mixed in with the roses.

Mom helping with the veil.

Kari was such a beautiful bride… I already knew she could work it from her engagement session so I was looking forward to the bridal part of the day!

Check out those eyes!

I love that God gave us our own personal wind machine.

Koutsunis (my hubby/assistant)’s shot …. he just keeps getting better!

A close up of mom’s handywork.

How cute is this flower child?

Favs!

The ladies workin’ the shoes!

I love a bride behind a veil! There is something so sweet and pure about it.

Ok, so onto the men-folk.

This couple is going to have some blue eyed babies one day.

The blingage.

During the ceremony the flower girl had a blast playing with her flowers!

Brian was so happy.  I love the opportunity to capture such emotion.

Kari even looks stunning when she cries.

After the ceremony…. Group shot! Woop Woop!

I think this is just hilarious.

How cute is this couple?

Absolute fav from the day!

Kevin with DKH made a special monogram for the dance floor, and the lighting was perfect for the red and black color palette of the wedding.

Carolyn Heitt did a great job with the cakes.  I think they got more on their faces than they ate!

The father/daughter dance was very emotional.

Check out the jump from Kari’s MOH when she caught the bouquet.  I think she was kinda pumped!

Kevin and Kristen workin the DJ booth and the lighting.

Kari and Brian made a personal “Thank you” sign that will be perfect to put into their thank you notes.

After a few tries we finally nailed a lovely heart!

And off they went.

And last but not least a tearful farewell from Brian’s mom.

Thank you to Kari and Brian for your patience and for being so sweet and in love and just letting me document all the fabulousness!!!!! On a side note…. you are my first wedding of year 2 of JennyEvelyn Photography, LLC!  Looking forward to another amazing year!

Carolina and Matt’ s wedding was such a sweet occasion.  Koutsunis and I headed down to my hometown of Statesboro, GA for their big day.  Not only did I get to shoot a fabulous wedding, but I got to see my family as well…it was the best!  The day started really early at the Split Ends Salon.  Stefanie Slater did a fab job with Carolina’s hair.  I love getting the pic of how crazy it looks when they start out.

Carolina’s veil was cathedral length and lined with a gorgeous lace.  I took advantage of it when we were doing her bridals.  I posted one that LOVE in her first look here.

Then we headed over to the Brannen House at the Statesboro Inn where Carolina got into her dress. First we had to get a dress shot.  I love all the lace!  Oh and her shoes were J.crew, the bride’s fav!

When Carolina’s daddy saw her for the first time words could not capture the emotion.

Here are a few of my favorite bridals!  This first one is at the Statesboro Inn.

Then we headed across the street to Statesboro’s First Methodist Church where the ceremony took place.

She has some incredible lashes!

The inside of the church is gorgeous.  I have not been inside of it since one of my best friends got married there almost ten years ago!

Matt was looking very handsome!

Carolina and Matt saw each other before the ceremony.  Here is their “first look.”

Mr. & Mrs. Price!

Onto my favorites…the romantics!

Upstairs in the balcony there is a private little prayer room.

My shot from the balcony.

Koutsunis’ shot though the cross window in the door that leads into the sanctuary.

Another of the beautiful bride!

I had a little help from Carolina’s sister and MOH for this shot, Thanks Susanna!

All of the lovely ladies.

Mrs Jan Williams (a friend of the family) did a fabulous job with Carolina’s flowers.  The bride carries a sweet bouquet of lily of the valley and her MOH and honorary bridesmaids carried yellow roses.

The men folk!  And this is one of my favorite jumps simply because of that canon ball!

Down the aisle.

Married!

The reception was held at Forest Heights Country Club.  The theme of the reception was travel.  Carolina and Matt actually met on a missions trip that they took with First Methodist and travel has always been a big part of their relationship.  So when the guests arrived at the reception they found their seats by the luggage tags that told them which table they were assigned to.

Then on each table there was a sign that told about a place that Carolina and Matt had both traveled to either together or separately and the sign told their guests a little fun fact about them being in that city.

The bride’s cake

The top of the grooms cake was made by Lisa Shepley of Lisa Mae Cakes.  She is such a sugar artist.  If you did not already know, Matt is a pilot and actually proposed to Carolina up in the air,  you can see some shots of us up in the air from their engagement session ***HERE***

The bride and groom had a string quartet at both the wedding and at the reception.

After the dinner we snuck outside to take a couple of more romantics out on the golf course.

They had a really special get away car.  Mr.  Grady was one of Carolina’s clients at the bank.  He brought his bright yellow model A and drove the couple off but only……after they ran through wands tied with yellow ribbons that were waved to wish them well.  That is a lot of W’s hu ? hahaha!  Every guest also got to take home a bottle of BBQ sauce that is Matt’s grandfather’s secret family recipe.

Love Carolina’s cute yellow dress. So bright and happy!

A little help getting in.

As they drove off it just started to sprinkle with the sun still shining. There is nothing like a little extra good luck like rain on a wedding day.

Thank you to Carolina & Matt and your friends and family for having us as part of your special day.  It was a joy to witness the beginning of such a sweet marriage.  May God bless you for many many many years!

Its finally here!  Last year when I first started my company Margeaux was one of the first brides to book me…and yesterday her wedding was finally here!  It was just as perfect as she planned it would be and I was honored to be a part of their special day.  It has been fun to watch Margeaux blog about her wedding for the past year on her blog called “What a Diamond Can Do” and I will miss seeing her updates, but I know she will keep blogging all the fun that marriage brings on her personal blog “ Note to Self “.  I cannot wait to post their whole wedding preview in the next couple of weeks, but for now here is their first look.

The beautiful bride having her Carrie Bradshaw moment! Check out her shoes!

Doug is a police officer and…sooo….well…we just had to!  LOVE it!

I hope you all enjoyed the first look.  I had to post the night photos first in honor of the honeymoon in Vegas baby, Vegas!!!!

Avery is a sweet Georgia Peach and Ryan is a California boy.  They are the perfect match and when planning their wedding they picked Avery’s hometown of Milledgeville, GA for the wedding.  The Lockerly Arboretum was the perfect venue for a wedding with southern style.  So now for Avery and Ryan’s wedding preview!  The day started for the gals at Charmed Spa in downtown Milledgeville, GA.  Carrolle Mayfield  did a fabulous job getting Avery’s hair into curls.

They also did her makeup and it’s the best kind in my opinion…Bare Minerals!

The dress!

Some bridal details.

Avery’s bridals.

Avery was workin’ that fan!

What a beautiful profile.

Ryan was takin’ the edge off.

Avery and Ryan saw each other before their ceremony.  We arranged a private first look where they saw each other for the first time.  It was an emotional moment.

Some flower details.  Florals by AJ’s Florist in Irwinton, GA.

Nothing says Georgia like Spanish Moss.

Sweetness.

There is a beautiful koi pond out front at the Arboretum.

Can we say Act 2, Scene 2?

Rings!

Avery and Ryan provided all their guests with fans and cool water to beat the southern heat.  They also had their guests leave them notes of advice for their new life together as husband and wife.

Betsy Fitzgerald of Macon, GA played the harp for their ceremony.

Waiting to meet his bride.

Down the aisle.

The view from the balcony.

Ryan had to sneak a peek at his bride.

All smile for the ring ceremony.

The first kiss as husband and wife.

I had to post this pic of the flower girl…she took her job so seriously.

Onto the reception and the first dance.  Avery’s brother,  Jonathan Potter, and his band kept everyone rockin’ all night long.

The cakes.

Love the love birds.

How cute is Avery waiting to take a bite of cake.

A couple of romantics after sunset.

They know how to work the dip!

After a wardrobe change… Avery was channeling Marilyn Monroe….and they left through the bubbles.

Thanks to Avery and Ryan and their friends and family for letting me be part of such a special day.  Y’all are such a sweet couple and I hope God blesses your marriage for many many years.
