Amanda wore a beautiful bridal gown by Mori Lee.

Because these two are both so funny, I knew they wouldn’t mind me sharing the following 4 images.  Here is Amanda cooling off in front of the fan.  Hilarious.

And this photo shows how HAPPY Jerry was to be married.  Dancing with Amanda’s bouquet . . . thanks for letting me capture these moments Jerry.

Here are just a few of the images I shot in Telfair Square.  LOVE this one.

I LOVE it so much, I couldn’t decide between the color version or the black & white, so I posted both.

Amanda, you are Fabulous girl~!

Love.  Love.  Love these next images.

Jerry, thanks for being so awesome (again) for pics.

Amanda & Jerry’s Wedding Party were all HILARIOUS.  Thank You all for being so awesome.  You guys ROCK~!!!!

Reception Time.  Yay.

Amanda & Jerry’s Reception was at the Jepson Center.   For those unfamiliar with Savannah, the Jepson is a beautiful museum for the arts.  To say I was in heaven is an understatement.  The light in this place is INSANELY GORGEOUS.  I LOVED shooting here.  And a BIG THANK YOU to my dear friend & fellow photographer, Shannon who came along for part of the day to 2nd shoot & assist me.  Thank You Shannon~!  Below are some of the amazing details from the reception.  The flowers, by John Davis, were AMAZING~!!!!!

Here are a few of my favorites from their Engagement Session.

Jennifer is always smiling, but I purposely asked her to give me a little attitude for this photo and I think she looks fierce. Rrrrrrr~!

For some reason early in the session, Jennifer had started laughing every time I asked them to kiss.  This continued throughout the photo shoot, but it made for some wonderful candid images.

Love.

Tiger . . . thank you.  You were awesome~!

Love. LoVe. lOvE. LOVE this photo~!

I really feel blessed that my couples like to have FUN on their engagement shoots.  I always enjoy capturing the candid moments and the laughter~!

So much laughter . . .

Again, Jennifer is always SMILING, but I did specifically ask her not to . . . and I really love the next few images.

The bling.

Some images on the dock.

And yes, it was a very windy day~!  However, Jennifer was amazing.

I saw this grape vine on a trellis and just had to have a few last photos in front of it.

I just LOVE my clients (all of them)~!!!!  THANK YOU Jennifer and Tiger for trusting me to capture the amazing love & happiness between you two.

Much appreciation from me, cassandra-m

Here are some of my favorites from Amanda and Jerry’s Engagement session . . .

It was really sunny when we began their engagement session, but I love the way the light gives the marsh a golden hue.  It was simply gorgeous out.

Amanda has the most beautiful smile and such a great laugh. Looking at Jerry’s expression, I think he agrees with me.

I think Amanda is kinda smiling as she kisses Jerry.  And I think that is sweet~!

We found this cool old wood boat, so we took some fun photos in front of it.

I was kidding Jerry about hanging out & climbing trees during his engagement shoot, he was laughing in the background.  He was a great sport for photos.

Jerry even made a few funny faces with Amanda.  Thank you Jerry~!

Another reason I love these two . . . Tyra.  It was important for them to have photos with their four legged baby.  This made my heart smile.  Tyra was much more obedient than my Mocha when it came to taking pictures.  Isn’t she beautiful~! (that was a statement not a question…ha.ha.)

I love this photo.  Tyra has such a cute expression on her face.

Sunsets don’t get much better than this, especially when you can share it with your special someone . . .

Congratulations Amanda and Jerry.  I had so much fun with you guys, I can’t wait for your special day to get here.  Thank you both for trusting me with such important and precious memories.

xoxoxo. cassandra-m

I just loved Korry’s poofy white wedding dress.  It was beautiful on her and she was STUNNING in it.

Korry’s veil and belt . . .

This garter held a very special and sentimental value to both Korry & Michael.  It had belonged to Michaels’ Mother, who has passed.  Michael’s Dad gave it to Korry to wear on her wedding day.  What an honor and because I saw the tears as Korry spoke about it, I know she was truly touched by his kind gesture.

I know this is a silhouetted photo, but it is one of my favorites.  I love the simplicity of it.  Also, for some reason in this photo Korry really reminds me of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffanys.   Elegant & sophisticated~!

Here are a few of the images from Korry & Michael’s “First Look”.  I will elaborate on a Bride & Groom doing a “First Look” in a later post, but basically it is images we take before the ceremony.  There are a bunch more awesome “First Look” photos in the SLIDESHOW (link at the bottom of this post) . . .

Love this photo~!

Love. love. love it.

My AMAZING 2nd shooter, Shannon, captured so many awesome images, but this is one of my favorites.  You can see the Spanish Moss hanging in the background and one of the Savannah Trolleys passing by . . . a classic Savannah scene.

Maybe it’s the wind blowing the veil or maybe it’s the gorgeous hair style or the fact that this was just a random candid photo, but something about this image makes me smile.

And then came these flowers.  Oh my gosh….the GORGEOUS flowers by Barbara Jean just made my camera melt.  Absolutely one of the most beautiful bridal bouquets I’ve seen. love love love~!

I seriously love ALL of Korry’s friends & family.  Everyone in her bridal party was willing to strike a pose (with attitude) for a few photos.   It just made things more FUN.  Thank you all~!!!!

I can’t just brag on Korry’s friends & family, I must include Michael’s FRIENDS & FAMILY TOO~!  Everyone here = AWESOME~!  Thank you guys for being so great for photos.  And PS . . . I was happy to see so many Georgia Bulldog fans among you.

Korry and Michael and their precious little girl, Stella~!  Stella was happy & excited.

These three little ones were ADORABLE~!!!!!

This is a cup that was hand carved by Michael’s Dad, Steven.

Korry . . . you were one STUNNING bride.

You sure are beautiful, even when you are goofing around.  PS . . . did I mention I love FUN brides?  Girl you are awesome~!

Michael, thanks for just standing still and looking cool for my photos.  Hey, you were FUN too . . . smile smile.

WIth you guys I never knew what to expect, so you will notice a mix of perfectly posed photos and some silly shots too . . . and I am smiling as I write this, because I LOVED each and every photo I took of you both.

Skipping now to the reception, here is a cute photo of Stella with her Mommie & Daddy.

And YES there were SPARKLERS for Korry & Michael’s exit~! yay yay yay~!

So here are some of my favorites from Korry and Michael’s Engagement Session . . .

Here is Stella.  She was ADORABLE~!  Also, a BIG THANKS to Korry’s sister, Kassy (and her husband Justin) for coming along to help out with Stella when I didn’t need her for photos.  And for helping to make Stella laugh.
I love this photo.  Stella is probably thinking “Crazy lady with the camera, why are you taking so many photos of me & when does it stop????” ha ha ha.
Simply put, we had FUN~!  It’s not often your fiance can romantically serenade you in the park and a ton of people are watching.
I love the way the light is hitting the far side of Korry’s face.  Plus she just looks really HAPPY~!
LOVE this photo~!  Michael, you ROCK~!
And this photo has to be one of my MOST favorite images. It’s just perfect to me.
And what is a picnic without some champagne?
 Love . . .  love . . .  LOVE this pic.Just a couple photos of Stella.
And Stella eating a cookie, which I think is absolutely HILARIOUS~!!!
Here is Stella laughing at her Aunt Kassy,  clapping her hands and still eating a cookie.
Stella had these adorable little tights with a bear on her butt.  So cute~!
I smiled so big when I captured this photo of Michael and Stella laughing.  It is AwEsOmE~!
No kids were harmed in the taking of these photos . . . ha ha.  However, a shoe was temporarily misplaced.  LOL.
A nice couple was walking their doggie and Stella wanted to get down and say Hi . . .

A last photo with Stella.  NICE~!

hellllooooo BEAUTIFUL~!  I am soooo very excited about your wedding next month.  I can’t wait to photograph you in a poofy princess wedding dress.  (smile smile)

Thank you guys for being so much FUN on your engagement shoot.  There is no charge for the entertainment, I double as a photographer and a comedian…ha ha.  Just Kidding~!!! I wanted you both to know that I had a blast~

Even though I didn’t get this image in focus (probably because I was laughing too) . . .I still kept it because I love Korry’s great big beautiful laugh~!

Thank You Korry and Michael for trusting me with your very special day next month.  Look below for a link to the slideshow.
