Kelsey + George // Engagements05.11.11

Meet Kelsey + George! These two are a little slice of happy and I’m lucky to know them. I met Kelsey while she was a bridesmaid for one of my 2010 weddings.. and boy.. it was a fun one! So, Kelsey + George are getting married in literal paradise later this year, St. Lucia. We both decided that if they allowed outside photographers there.. I’d SO shoot it for free. Could you image? A photographers dream. So, as I sit here an envy these two for their wedding plans I also just adore them.

Can I tell you what I also adore? CHATTANOOGA! David came on this little trip with me and as we walked hand-in-hand it was hard not to dream aloud about moving there and how cool it would be. It’s one of our favorite things to do.. dream. Chattanooga inspires tons of it. On a Saturday night EVERYONE is out and about and enjoying life at the fullest.. this is us in a box. Walking around, laughing, eating our Lumpy’s ice-cream [legendary] in Chattanooga was the perfect evening! If anything, we now know when it’s time to get out of town for a weekend.. Chattanooga is the perfect quick trip. Try it out for yourself with your sweetie.. you will NOT regret it! ;)

A Woman I Just Adore // Mother’s Day05.08.11

Today, I honor my mom. What an incredible woman. I can’t think of a single time I’ve needed her and she wasn’t there. This woman, I adore. Full of class + sincerity + strength this amazing woman has guided me through life with reassurance, comfort and taught me how to have strength of my own. When I look back at the most important times she has influenced my life.. I remember all the good advice. When I’m in a pickle or I’m afraid I am about to make a bad decision.. I call mom … and she gives me perspective I never thought of before.. which has resulted in a lifetime of the right decisions. I give credit to the woman I honor today. Poised, joyful, kind with all her heart and simply as beautiful as they come.. I honor my mom today. She is such a gem and I can’t believe I am lucky enough to call her my mom. I love you dearly!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!

Dawn + Jonathan05.06.11

This day was THE PERFECT day to get married.. perfect skies.. warm sun, slight breeze and gorgeous sunset. Add Dawn + Jonathan, their seriously amazing friends and a beautifully planned wedding.. this day was a day I wont soon forget… this goes for everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of this celebration. These two are such a great couple.. and have surrounded themselves with some pretty awesome people as well. Thanks to Dawn and her bridesmaids for filling the day with knee-slapping laughter and fun.

A few highlights of the day:
My very favorite moment was the “First Look” shared between the bride and groom. This is always the most emotional moment and on of my favorite things to capture. When Dawn and Jonathan saw one another for the first time.. they lost it.. both of them.. and it so beautiful. Dawn had been cool as a cucumber all morning .. until that moment. They literally were lost in one another for a while until Becca [my second shooter] and I had to reel them back in. ;) I added one of these images in this set of the first moment Jonathan turns around and Dawn sees her groom. Sqeal!

Another highlight? When the eyelashes were a little too long and needed a quick clip there was no scissors to be found.. oh but wait! One of Dawn’s uber prepared bridesmaids pulls out utility scissors!! This is one of my favorite images.. see for yourself!!
