…from Delana & Johnny’s wedding…

As much as I love the fitted, strapless wedding gowns that are so beautiful and popular right now, I love when a bride does something completely different.

I loved her dress…

Unfortunately, I wasn’t there to photograph their wedding.  I was suppose to be.  The day before their wedding I had to make the one phone call that a wedding photographer dreads to make, the one where I tell the bride that I can not be there.  This isn’t a usual call for me.  Now, I’ve put my own sickness aside before to photograph a wedding but this time it wasn’t me.  My 4 month old ended up in the hospital four hours away (she’s okay now).  I couldn’t leave her and Alex was so incredibly sweet and completely understood.  Thankfully, Rachel with Goody Two Shoes Photography stepped in for me to capture their day.  I can not thank her enough!  Another unfortunate was that it rained on their wedding day.  It was an outdoor wedding.  I think by the end of the day all that mattered was that they were now man and wife.  Congratulations Alex and Chris and I can’t wait to make it up there to spend some time photographing the two of you.

My favorite (you know I love the details):

…definitely a favorite of mine to photograph…

To capture a special moment or time in someone’s life is truly a privilege.

Congratulations to my cousin Amber and her new husband Kirt!

Here’s a little teaser for you two from your beautiful wedding.  I just grabbed two photos to share with you real quick.  There are so many fabulous pictures from your wonderful day and I can not wait to share them all with you.  Congratulations once again!

Now I have to give credit to the right person on this next one.  Keith is a volunteer firefighter so my husband had the idea of photographing them in the rubble of a building that burned down several months back.  This was a big fire for our guys so this is more than just an “ugly building” in the background.  Thank honey for sharing your ideas with me!

I absolutely love it when Andrea and I have a good chunk of time before the ceremony to get some amazing portraits of the bride and groom.  Congratulations to Sara & Dave who got married a few weeks ago.

I wanted to share Dana & James’ wedding I second shot for Andrea a few weekends back.  Here are a couple images of the super, sweet couple and some details.  I always love the details!
