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~!!!!!

Dear Mom…Happy Mother’s Day! I hope today you realize how very much you are loved! There are simply not enough words or enough space on my blog to describe how you’ve touched my life. Your sacrifices, your love, your support, your encouragement, your faith & love of God, your high expectations, your refreshing smile or gentle touch…these are just a few things that make you so wonderful, so amazing, so appreciated, so respected and most importantly . . . so loved! Thank you for raising me to be a good person. I hope that I can live my life and make you proud of who I am. Happy Mother’s Day today and every day! Xoxoxoxo. Cassandra

Here’s just a sneak peek into the life of the wonderful woman that is my Mom . . .

I hate to brag, BUT … WOW, I had some gorgeous parents!!!!

This photo makes me smile as I think of all the Bride & Grooms that I have (and will) capture memories for. It makes me wonder if their kids will feel the same overwhelming emotions as they look back on their parent’s wedding images…hummmm????

 

from three kids who LOVE YOU . . . Happy Mother’s Day~!

So I will just share of few images of them and their beautiful new baby girl, Chloe Grace.  Below is just a few images I took before Chloe’s dedication at the church.  I can’t wait to schedule a family shoot with these three, as you can see below they are a gorgeous family (inside and out!).  Here are just a few of my favorites.

Shannon, Dee & Chloe Grace . . .

Eyes barely opening . . .

And we are asleep again.  Chloe Grace had a very long ride from Tennessee to Georgia.  Then she was probably overwhelmed with all the friends & family gushing over her because . . . she’s just so CUTE~!!!!

This is a keeper just because of the face.  love it~!

Yawn~!!!!!

And more yawning . . .

I love Chloe Grace’s expression here.  It’s like she is asking me “who are you and why do you keep taking my picture?” . . . ha ha ha.

THANK YOU Dee & Shannon for your friendship & your continued support and love.  You guys are truly wonderful and I am so blessed to have you in my life. xoxoxooxoxo. cassandra-m
