Photographic Expressions

Too often am I reminded that it’s a small world. Just after ringing the doorbell at the Groom’s parents house, I was reintroduced to the groom who just happened to be an old classmate from elementary school! 

It was so great to spend the morning capturing the day as William and Brandy exchanged vows and celebrated with their family and school friends.Heat and the very present sun did not stop the celebration as laughter and drinks flowed, little ones ran around chasing dogs, and Congratulations rang out from all over. 

Brandy and William, thank you for allowing me to capture your day and your constant laughter. It was great to see you after all these years.

Their friends tell it best. Two people finding love, smitten with each other on the volleyball courts. They joke that the bride and groom spent the last seven years partying at everyone else’s weddings, spoiling the newest baby that joined the group, and sitting back and relaxing. Toasts were made at the rehearsal to the seven year itch and ‘Go Blue’ chants filled the room as Cheryl and Rod laughed and kissed in agreement.

Just as the laughter died down in the room tears threatened to spill as friend after friend, family member after family expressed how deeply honored they were to share in the special day of Cheryl and Rod. How two people in love couldn’t be any nicer, kinder, more loving, generous and more thoughtful than these two. Love was thick in the air as glasses were raised toasting to the life, love and happiness of the honored couple.

Sunlight spilled through the trees on Saturday as one made their way through the mountainous curvy and windy roads of Big Canoe. Cars filled the cul de sac yet nerves and tension were no where to be found in this house. It was to be a day of celebration and joyous times spent with family, no seconds guesses here.
As Cheryl slipped into her dress and the last detail added, her bridesmaids stood back taking in this new transformation. Exclaiming shock at the sudden shift from their friend to bride (and a hot one at that!) they clapped, they laughed in excitement and even fanned the sudden onset of tears. The moment was all too real, the day had finally come.

The day was filled with so much joy and love, hugs and kisses that it was hard not to get caught up in it all. Cheryl and Rod, this is only a partial account of your special day, I couldn’t narrow it down : ) Thank you for being phenomenal, I so enjoyed documenting your spectacular day and spending time with your fabulous family and especially the rocking bridesmaids!

Much love!!

Their journey began when a friend introduced Tina to George. It was fate that allowed brought George and his ready made smile into Tina’s heart. Always quick with a laugh and smiling eyes, George embraces Tina in a protecting love like no other. Hand in hand they journeyed down the road together and began planning on how to blend their families together. June 6th, Tina and George stated their vows in front of friends and family alike.

ps. As for the little ones, I couldn’t help but include these four year olds, they just stole the show : )

If the church had bells in their tower this was a bell chiming day. Clouds punctuated the sky, the city square was bustling with tourists and families from Chattanooga and Charlotte were joined as one.

Sarah glowed under her veil. Tiny footsteps taken in ballet flats and adorned in a beautifully detailed, handmade dress (by her own hands!) she slipped into the bride’s waiting room with a smile at her lips. Bridesmaid’s clutched at their flowers and sneaked peaks behind the curtains watching as people made their way to their seats. Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows lighting the aisle in which Sarah and her dad would soon walk. Deep breath, quick prayer, smile still playing at her lips they stepped out and took the first step down the aisle. She was taking the last few steps before she would join together to meet the man that she would spend the rest of her life together, the man that would keep her smiling.
