Saturday morning, I had the honor of watching my mom get married to a wonderful man. They didn't want an extravagant wedding... rather one that reflected their personalities and interests. Their love for the outdoors and a desire for a simple and happy life together was apparent by having a small, beautiful wedding in the backyard.
Though I wasn't a hired photographer, I couldn't help but bring my camera along to document her special day. There are a lot of favorites, so don't be surprised that it's image overload in this post. :) Congratulations you two!
My favorite ring shot of all time.
Carol and David had a harpist play during the ceremony and a portion of the reception. It was so pretty!
David and the minister patiently wait for the bride.
So excited to see her groom!
Sweet details...
A simple detail shot that I absolutely love!
A moving prayer before being announced as husband and wife.
After the ceremony, everyone feasted on an amazing spread of barbecued food. It was delicious! We laughed, talked, and ended the event with homemade ice cream (since David doesn't like cake!) Later in the day, we snuck away for a few sunset pictures. I love the one below.
I love this series... for not liking being in the spotlight, these two know how to work the camera!
A modern version of the traditional image. Since the wedding was on a farm, I couldn't NOT take this picture!
When I was in high school (senior year, specifically) I loved my prom dress. It wasn't anything like what I had pictured in my mind before shopping, but once I saw it and put it on there was no turning back. I loved the way it looked... and I loved the way I looked wearing it. I had a blast at my prom, but I wish I had more than just the traditional pictures to show the way I felt wearing it. Here's a chance for you to avoid feeling the way I did!
I'm in the mood for something fun and funky this summer. Almost two years ago I joined up with some local photographers for what was affectionately named "The South Georgia Trashing". I gave my wedding dress to a friend of mine, my best friend an extra bridesmaids dress I had, and another friend joined in with her own white formal dress... and we went down to the river for a "trash the dress" session. Go HERE to check those images out.
Okay, so where do you come in? I'm looking for a high school (or newly graduated) girl to participate in a Trash the (Prom) Dress session. I only have three requirements: You must be fun. You must be adventurous. You must like your picture taken.
In exchange for use of the images in my portfolio, you'll get a rockin' fun afternoon being the center of attention with my camera, as well as a print credit to choose your favorites! If you're interested, please e-mail me pronto and let's talk about good days and times for you!
My favorite adoption poem reads:
"Not flesh of my flesh,
not bone of my bone,
but nevertheless my very own.
Never forget for a single minute,
you were born not under my heart
but in it."
Adoption is such a wonderful gift that can happen to a family. I'm fortunate enough to be a photographer who participates in an amazingly emotional program called Celebrating Adoption, which offers a free photo session to families who have adopted children within the past 12 months as a way of celebrating an addition to the family. Each session also includes a 4x6 print of each image.
Since getting involved in Celebrating Adoption, I've had the opportunity to celebrate with two wonderful families... first with Micah and then with Samuel. I know that the summer months are usually busy with vacations and whatnot, but I'm always looking for a deserving family to take advantage of a free session. So... if you've adopted a child within the past 12 months (or know someone who just adopted), e-mail me and schedule a session to celebrate!
