Sanda and Brandon Paducah Wedding

You can tell when someone has walked into a room and their eyes have turned to glance and smile. This is Sanda and Brandon to a “T”. Their connection is so strong that the moment the other walks into the room they notice one another and smile. It’s a beautiful connection to witness and I was so very honored to be a part of capturing their story. Sanda and Brandon’s wedding was gorgeous and special with every detail. With a beautiful waterfront as their backdrop, they exchanged their vows and shared their oh so noticeable glances to one another. It was a very special day spent with close friends and family. Thank you to Sanda and Brandon for inviting me to be a part of their wedding day. I hope you enjoy a small glance into their day and connection with one another!

Style Me Pretty {FEATURED}

If I could describe my happy dance that I did this morning when I saw a Twitter mention that Rebekah and Sam’s gorgeous vintage wedding had been featured on Style Me Pretty; it would look a little like a tippy toe spin with a little EEEK in the middle! I am so excited and honored to be featured on one of the top wedding blogs today. If you are not familiar with Style Me Pretty, I highly suggest you take some time to head on over to see all the beautiful inspiration there is to be had for planning a wedding. Now let me give you a word of advice before doing so, make sure to bookmark it as one of your favorites because it will be a common site you return back to…It’s truly addicting and I’m no longer a bride to be…tehe!

It wasn’t long ago that I remember sitting with Rebekah and Sam over coffee in our first meeting together and when I heard them describe their wedding day and all the details, I seriously went home dreaming about redoing my wedding all over again. These two put every bit of their heart and soul into their wedding and it showed through to every guest and now every inspiring bride wishing to do the same. It’s has been a wonderful experience working with this fabulous couple and now good friends!!

Thank you so much to Style Me Pretty for featuring Rebekah and Sam’s beautiful day! EEK!!

In the Final Frames

It was at the very end of our session that a mother shared a very special moment with her daughter. The lighting was just about down, but at the final frames was a moment that was captured and will never be forgotten. As a mother myself these final images melted my heart to see a bond between a mother and child be so true….

Bristol Bridal Expo

This past weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to meet and get to know many couples who were in the process of planning their special day. I know some photographers go back and forth about wedding expos, but I find it a great benefit {for me} to get out and meet the brides and vendors I work so closely with. Not only did I get to meet some fabulous new brides, but I also got the chance to catch up with some of my 2011/2012 brides to be. To see them actively planning their wedding, got me so excited for them and their fiance!! All in all, it was a great weekend spent with great friends, future clients, and wonderful vendors. Look forward to seeing you all again for the New Year Expo in January!

Oh and yes, there is one more thing I MUST do and that is thank my darling husband who work so hard to put the construction of my booth together. If it weren’t for him, I would not have been able to do it! Love you babe!

Catching up and a bit of Inspiration

This year’s wedding season has been an absolute blessing! I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity so far this year to work with some of the most amazing couples and bridal parties. While we are only half way through, I still have so much to share with you. This week I have taken some much needed time to catch up and prepare for the upcoming weeks ahead. Make sure to stay tuned for some fabulous sneak peaks and wedding inspirations coming to the blog soon!

On an inspirational note, I thought I would take the time share what is asked of me quite often…How do you find so much inspiration in a wedding day? Inspiration for me comes by telling a true story. There’s nothing more beautiful then capturing the connection between two people as they celebrate the most important day of their lives together. It’s also so much fun to hear their vision throughout the year and see it come to life the day of. There is not one detail that is not important because a wedding day is the reflection of a couples personality and relationship together. When working with a couple, I first ask them what’s important to them about their special day? That one question almost always shares their story which allows me to later capture it on their wedding day. Inspiration comes in many forms and my love is capturing every minute of what’s important!
