savannah wedding : brittany + corey

August 15, 2010 | slideshowsweddings

Brittany & Corey are finally married!  yea yea yea!  I’ve been looking forward to their wedding since I shot their engagement shoot back in March.  It was the largest bridal party I’ve worked with so I was nervous, but at the same time EXCITED.  Here are some of my favorites from Brittany & Corey’s wedding . . .

Brittany was all smiles and very excited.  She looked like a PRINCESS . . .

I like to play around with my brides and have them give me some “fun” poses with a little attitude.  Brittany laughed at me, but she participated.  The next two photos are just for fun . . .

I had to get a photo of the back of Brittany’s dress, it was gorgeous.

Brittany had 10 . . . YES 10 girls in her bridal party.  WOW.  All the girls were amazing and were so great to accommodate my unusual photo requests.  I did take all the formal photos first, but a few FUN pics are always great!

This is Corey leaning on a piano, it kinda shows you how tall he is.  And I just love this shot of him.

Because the weather was so hot outside, I shot all the guy’s photos inside too.  I was running out of places in the sanctuary to shoot, so I had Corey sit on the steps.  This ended up being one of my favorite photos.

And here’s Corey and the gang . . . yes, the gang of 10 guys.  You can tell the guys love Corey & they like to pick on him as well.

Another favorite.  Thanks guys for being so awesome for all the photos!

Brittany did not act nervous the whole day, she was so calm . . . but when I saw her coming down the aisle and she spotted Corey, I could tell the emotions started hitting her.  I think her and Mr Don (her Dad) were both holding back the tears on the long walk down the aisle.

I think this is one of my most FAVORITE photos during a ceremony ever.  I wonder exactly what Brittany was thinking?  I captured this photo as she took a moment, closed her eyes and just took a deep breath.  I imagine she was thanking God for putting Corey in her life or maybe thinking about what a lucky girl she was . . . or maybe she was just taking a moment to solidify this feeling in her mind & heart forever.

I went up into the balcony to capture some images from above.  The windows are stain glass and the light coming in from them was divine.  When I saw the ceremony from above, I was sure that I would hear angels singing Hallelujah because everything was beautiful.

I had to include this image because of the story behind it.  When Corey kissed Brittany, her veil fell off her head.  Everyone in the church laughed, including me . . . it was awesome.  There are more photos of “the KISS” in the slideshow at the end of this post.

24 people!  I love this photo because it makes me smile.  (I got all the formal shots first . . . this was the last group photo)  THANK YOU EVERYONE for bring so awesome for the photos!

This is definitely one of my FAVORITE images of the day.

I seem to be surrounded by GEORGIA fans these days, which makes me smile because me sister graduated from UGA . . . so we are huge DAWGS fans ourselves.  I believe that’s a replica of Corey’s truck on top.

When I was in the sanctuary, I sat down for a quite moment.  Before packing up my camera gear, I snapped this photo.  I love it.  I also took a moment to THANK GOD for allowing me to do something that I LOVE SO MUCH.  I thanked him for giving me a passion for photography and all things of the arts.  I thanked him for surrounding me with friends, family & colleagues who support me and my dreams.  I thanked him for giving me WONDERFUL & AMAZING clients that believe in me and trust me.  I continued to thank him for awhile.  And after all this “thanking” a feeling of PEACE & HAPPINESS flooded my mind.  Then I took a minute to reflect on how many wonderful emotions I had experienced in one day.  Emotions of my own and emotions that I simply witnessed.  YES, I continued thanking God as I walked away . . . smiling & loving what I do!

Brittany & Corey . . . congratulations!  My wish is that God blesses you both with every happiness life has to offer.

sarabeth + kyle : wedding part ll

August 4, 2010 | slideshowsweddings

Here is the second part of photos I wanted to share from SaraBeth & Kyle’s wedding.   These two are amazing together and whenever I photograph them, they are all smiles.  Thank you both for being so amazing and thank you again for trusting me to capture the memories of your special day.  The reception place, Elements Bistro & Grill had a very cool lime green couch, which matched the color in SaraBeth’s flowers.  I definitely wanted a couple photos on it.  Below are some of my favorite images from the second part of their wedding.

This is one of my favorite photos from the night.  I saw the image and fell in love . . . it was something about the lighting, the background and OH YEA…SaraBeth & Kyle looking “SO IN LOVE” during their first dance!

Since they didn’t want to see each other before the ceremony, they opted to take 15 min during the receptioin for me to take some photos.  These are definitely some of my most favorites of the day.  Right below is the the first photo I snapped . . . I love Kyle’s expression, he is so happy & I think this photo shows it.

Another FAVORITE . . .  SaraBeth you have gorgeous eyes and a beautiful smile!

The photo on the right shows more of their true personalities.  (they both love to smile)

And I just love these three photos . . .

I had to include these pics for Kyle.  SaraBeth & him had tried “twirling” during the engagement shoot and we mostly laughed.  But I think we had more success on the wedding day.   A++ Kyle.

Kyle is already an amazing husband.


The reception place, Elements Bistro & Grill was AMAZING.  I could have taken photos of them for hours inside this place.  The architecture and design inside is so cool.

There was a lot of laughing and dancing the entire night, thanks to great music by DJ Shannon Harville.

SaraBeth & Kyle were laughing & smiling all night long . . .

Girl, I know you were getting tired, but you STILL ROCKED!

A few more detail shots to share that I didn’t share in the previous post . . .

I love the pink & lime green colors . . .

One last image (another favorite) before the slideshow . . .

SaraBeth & Kyle decided to have their reception at “Elements Bistro & Grill” . . . a very cool place!

The details were great . . .

Cake by : Michelle Jackson  (I love this cake)

Beth Tapley @ Beth’s Florist did an AMAZING job with the flowers.  I had so much fun taking photos of them.   I LOVED . . . LOVED . . . LOVED everything about the flowers, especially the colors that SaraBeth chose.  Lime green + pink = AWESOME!  And the fresh cut limes in the vases were a nice touch…love it!

And finally the rings . . .
