Engaged: Misty & Jeremy

Misty & Jeremy came from Hope, Arkansas for their engagement pictures.  We gambled with the weather and got lucky.  The storms broke up about 30 minutes before they arrived and then we had a beautiful evening for pictures.

Misty went to SAU, so she requested that we do a few on campus.  This one is my absolute favorite from the session.

I can't say enough how cute these two are! They are obviously so in love and so excited to be getting married. There was no coaching needed.  They made my job easy.

I am so honored that Misty & Jeremy picked me as their photographer.  They picked me from the internet without ever meeting me.  With so many to choose from, I consider it a huge compliment!

Congratulations on your engagement, Misty & Jeremy!!! 

Wedding: Amanda & Joey

Forecast for the day:  Severe Thunderstorms...Flash Flood Warning...Possible Hail...Tornado Warning!  The wedding was right in the middle of a 15 day streak of bad weather in Magnolia.  It didn't matter...everyone made the best of it, especially the bride!  It was a beautiful wedding and a rockin' reception afterwards. 

Here are a few details from early in the day:

E-Session: Destin & Lauren

A couple of weeks ago we spent 12 days with Destin & Lauren in order to tend to family matters in Mississippi.  Destin is Dru's nephew, and Lauren is "Lo-Lo" to Hunter & Lily.  We invaded their little house with all of our STUFF and our TWO kids on a mission to DESTROY everything!  We had no idea we would be there for just shy of 2 weeks.  They were so gracious...and if we got on their nerves, they never showed it.  However, they vowed to return the favor by showing up at our house someday when they have a bunch of kids!

In the middle of the chaos, we found a few minutes to do an impromptu photo-shoot to celebrate their engagement.  Here are my favs...

Ashley & Mack: E-Session

It may be a small miracle...my computer seems to still be working after a little run-in with a bottle of diet Dr. Pepper!

Here is a sneak peek at Ashley & Mack's pictures.  They were my first session of '09!  We started out a bit early, so with time to kill until sunset, we got TONS and TONS of shots and made stops all over Magnolia!

Not Your Every Day Bridals

This was so fun!  Erin was truly the definition of a fearless bride.  She was open to anything and the more outrageous the better!  This is only Part I of our Trash the Dress Series.  I learned so much from this session and I'm really looking forward to Part II.

Who knew we would find such interesting and "urban" locations in little ole Magnolia!  I just love the colors in this one!
