I have been photographing the Wilbanks family since they grew by two feet, their first baby Emma that is. Momma Erin and I met at a wedding years ago, shared in our first pregnancies at the same time, and have watched our friendship grow while our families expand as well. Bless her heart, Erin always says if it wasn't for me she wouldn't have any photographs of her children. That's what friends are for - no matter the cost :)

Weddings

Staci Swit and Jacob Brinson had a gorgeous destination wedding on Jekyll Island under the enormous oaks which canopied over the lawn near the ocean. I had so much fun working with such a laid back couple in such a beautiful setting. Of course, Jacob and his boys toward the end of the reception were ever more laid back with the infamous glory dance, can I get an Amen! on that one Staci? Memories like these are what make your day uniquely yours and I hope the photography captured it as beautiful as it all is in your memories!

Heather Sims and Andrew Petoskey had a lovely wedding near a river in Tennessee this early Fall. You guys were so flexible when the lights and electricity went out and made do with the resources you had and pulled it off with flare - that's just the beginning of knowing how to roll with whatever comes your way in marriage and life - and you two are already pros at handling it with ease.  And Andrew wrote and sang a beautiful song for his new bride as she danced with her father - unforgettable.  After the couple said their 'I do's' they ventured off in a boat down the river to catch a horse and buggy ride to their final destination. What an adventure!

Jessica Najjar and Jamie Kubat were so much fun to work alongside for their wedding day. 

It took place along the shores of St. Simons, GA. The groomsmen certainly got a kick out of watching me almost get swamped by the approaching high tide as my focus was on them through the cameras eye - my socks, shoes and pants were soaked and gritty from being on the washed up shore, but it helped give the groomsmen a relaxed look even if it was at my expense. I love destination weddings and accepting the challenge of finding new perspectives and backdrops to shoot. Although I have done several weddings in the St. Simons area, each one had been uniquely fun and beautiful from the next - I can't wait until my next visit! Thanks Jessica and Jamie for allowing me to be a part of your special day!

The wedding of Amy Neuhart and Nick Morgan was just how I would picture a beautiful Southern wedding should be. Full of tradition, classic style and touches by www.LaBelleFete.com, small town charm, UGA Sorority singing 'round the giddy couple all were a part of this gorgeous rainy day. Although the rain and the groom's awesome pink crocodile shoes were a surprise, nothing stopped the party. The rain certainly brought on a challenge - picture a photographer with camera in hand and the umbrella hook snuggly secure under my opposite arm while standing in the pouring rain and rock drive in front of a gorgeous church and an antebellum home for the reception - and you've got a glimpse of me most of the evening. The groom surprised his beautiful bride with a horse and buggy get-away despite the rain that she thought canceled her plans. Life goes on and rain is a blessing!
