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!
