ASHLEIGH AND GORDON: [EYE CANDY]

I know there are some eager family and friends who are just waiting to see a few images of the beautiful bride and her groom... Mr. Grooms! Until I get a full post ready, I'm hoping this "eye candy" will be enough to hold them over! They sure are sweet enough!!

Enjoy and stay tuned- there will be more from this gorgeous wedding and perhaps, even a little giveaway too!

 

Ashleigh and Gordon: [Sneak Peek]

Yesterday I had the honor of capturing Ashleigh and Gordon's wedding ceremony. I am so excited about all of the images, but I just had to hurry and get one up for all of their family and friends to see! This picture immediately caught my eye. There is something so breathtaking about the bride and groom dancing. It's dreamy!

Enjoy! More to come soon...

 

Teri and Gabe: [Something Extra]

Teri and Gabe's wedding was beautiful and I've finally gotten together their slideshow, "something extra," to share. There are a few images that were so precious I couldn't resist posting them too.

Teri selected green and yellow for her colors and they had beautiful details throughout the entire day, as well as at their outdoor reception, held in a bright red barn...Perfect for pictures of course!

The bride and groom danced to "Come Away With Me," and as always, I found myself tearing up! I love the images of Teri and Gabe dancing, they stir my heart each time I see them! I hope you enjoy these and of course, leave some love in the comments section!

 

 I love them dancing with the band in the background!

 

This might be one of my favorites of the entire day! A groom whispering sweet nothings in his bride's ear... how romantic!

 Gotta love an adventurous bride and groom!

 

Teri and Gabe: [The Dance]

I'm working on getting a slideshow together for Teri and her new hubby, but I couldn't resist posting some of their first dance until then! They are breathtaking!

Enjoy!!

Michele and Ryan: [The Wedding Day : Part 2]

I wanted to share a few more images from Michele and Ryan's wedding today, since I know they'll be coming back from their honeymoon soon.

Michele had a beautiful dress and ring. They were begging to be photographed!! She also put  an adorable little addition on her shoes!

 

 Before the ceremony, some of the groomsmen were just waiting patiently for the bride to arrive. I love these individual shots of them.

 The groom was watching for the limo to arrive too! Inside his beautiful bride was awaiting.

 

 Isn't she stunning?!

 A little fun after the ceremony! Michele requested that Ryan wear his sunglasses for a few pictures, which was so adorable, especially when he started to kiss her on the cheek and she gave such awesome expressions!

I'll be posting a slideshow from their wedding soon, so keep checking back! There are lots of fun images!

And... don't forget to share your love by leaving a comment below!

Michele and Ryan: [Getting Ready]

As you might have already noticed, I had 2 "wedding weekends" in a row. So for the next couple of posts, I will probably be alternatng between them in order to share some unique and fun images for these special couples.

On May 9th, I spent the morning with Michele and her bridesmaids at Bellissimo Salon in Tampa, watching them get ready for the big day. There were lots of smiles and giggles as the wedding drew closer.

While we were there, I had a few minutes to play with the rings too!

Here are a few of my favorite images from our morning. Stay tuned, there will be lots more and of course, always remember to leave your comments right here on the blog!

Enjoy!

  

I happened to hear Michele telling the hair stylist that she wanted to be an elegant bride; so when I saw this magazine at the salon, I simply couldn't resist!

One of my favorites!

Keep checking- I'll be posting lots more soon!

Teri Lynn and Gabe: [Part One]

Just a few weekends ago I had the pleasure of second shooting a wedding in both my hometown and my home church. It was so much fun! I was able to catch up briefly with a lot of friends, whom I haven't in many years and I loved getting to visit New Hope Baptist, which was recently renovated.

I wanted to share some more images from this awesome day with each of you. Be warned however, that a second post will be necessary! There were just so many beautiful moments to capture. I'll start you off with some before the ceremony fun!

Teri spent the morning getting her hair done with a sweet friend of mine, Wanda. It was a joy to chat with her while she transformed Teri into a gorgeous bride. It was also lots of fun to capture some images of Teri, as she's perhaps one of the most expressive brides I've seen in a long time! Her personality truly made for some adorable pictures!

 

 

  A few of the day's details...

 The stunning bride patiently waiting to marry her groom!

I love this image! Teri seems to be so deep in thought and I adore that her maid of honor was looking on during this moment!

Before the ceremony, we spent a little time outside. The church provided a nice backdrop and standing up against the bricks kept us out of the blazing heat for a little bit!

 

 These next three are some of my favorite images of the bride and then, the groom as well.

 

 

Deciding to brave the intense sun and super high temperature resulted in a few fun images too!

 I told Teri that Gabe was clearly jumping for joy at the thought of being her husband!!

Stay tuned soon for Part Two!

 

Michele and Ryan: [The Wedding Day Sneak Peek]

Today Ryan and Michele tied the knot; and although it's super late, I wanted to post a few images of their special day! Enjoy these until the official post arrives!

 

 

The Littles: [Family Session: Sneak Peek 2]

 

As promised, here is another post for the Little Family! When there are so many people present, there are tons of images to sort through!! Here are some more of my favorites, starting with the official family photo!

Feet... need I say more?

The girls swinging with their grandparents! They will love and appreciate moments captured like this when they are older!

These are 2 images of the girls that I fell in love with as soon as I saw them! They are proof that the sweetest expressions and moments often come unexpectedly, yet they speak so profoundly to the heart!

Thank you Littles for your patience as I finish up your session! What a blessing to know that you truly understand the meaning of "family first!"

 

Teri Lynn and Gabe: [Sneak Peek]

I've been a little behind on my blogging, due to some sick kiddos in our family. In fact, I still owe the Little's a second post from their incredible beach session. I promise to catch up soon!

For now though, I couldn't help but share a few images that capture how I spent my weekend. I traveled back to my home town to second shoot with my parents at a beautiful wedding. These are a few images that caught my eye, and of course I can never resist giving a little sneak peek!!

Enjoy... and don't forget to leave your comments right here on the blog!

Oh, and stay tuned as I attempt to catch up on all my posting before 2 more beautiful weddings this month!
