Cacia & Rusty {day after session}

This session was one of the coolest that I've had the pleasure of shooting in awhile.  Cacia and Rusty got married in June in the Flordia Keys and weren't super pleased with the photos that they got, so wanted to have a session in their wedding finery.

Cacia also wanted to play in some water in a Trash-the-Dress fashion.  We chose Watson Mill State Park for the location; it provided us with water and beautiful scenery.  I couldn't resist posting these few:

Ya'll all are going to have to wait to see the very cool water pics!  Stay tuned!

guess what?!

No, you'll never guess.  I'll just have to tell you!  I was published!!!!!  Oh, I am so excited.  So, I was published in Brides Atlanta.  A two page spread featuring Andrea and Ryan!  It is so pretty!  I've attached some pics of the spread, but if you want to see for yourself, go pick up a copy!

And, if the spread wasn't cool enough, I also got published on the back page!

Margaret & Mike {wedding}

Margaret and Mike might take the prize for the most laid-back couple. They were cool (while being very hot) with whatever I wanted to do. They started the day out with a special meeting where they met, looked each other over and played with Emma [the dog].

Wedding Location: The Ritz Carlton at Lake Oconee

Before any bride and groom can meet for the first time, there is always a flutter of preparation.  Most people don't get to see this part of my job, but it's something I do a lot of.  Adjusting and fixing and making suggestions....  Jeremy grabbed a shot of me helping with the vail placement and I thought I'd post it.

Now, on to the good stuff...

I've got to admit right here, before I upload any more pics, that I've picked out a lot of images of just Margaret.  She's just so pretty, and photogenic, I couldn't help myself :-)

Emma:

On to the great outdoors...

Margaret & Mike {wedding} -- sneak peek!

These two had a big, fabulous wedding just last Saturday.  Emma [the dog] is a huge part of Margaret and Mike's life.  She was the flower dog :)

Ginn & Matt {engagement} -- sneak peek

I'm sure it was quite the debate as to which photographer these two were going to hire.  Can I just say how excited I am that I was the chosen one?  I got to take a super fun trip to Charleston to shoot their engagement session and meet them.  Their wedding is in April in Athens, and after our session, I'm and super-excited!

More about the shoot when I blog the session for real.  For now, a favorite:
