i still do

I met Ashley 16 years ago just after our freshman year of college while participating in a summer project with Campus Crusade for Christ in Myrtle Beach. We've kept in touch over the years, but hadn't seen each other since that summer.

I was so honored when she contacted me about taking photos of her special day. After 13 years of marriage and 5 children later, she and Michael wanted to renew their wedding vows. It was such a touching ceremony, and I'm so glad that I got to capture it for her!

Lynn + Foster: Wedding

When Lynn asked me to shoot her wedding, I was totally flattered. I'd never been the "lead" photographer before. She assured me that she would be the easiest person in the world to "practice" on, and she was right. She's probably the most laid back bride you'll ever meet. I never saw even a hint of stress on her face the entire day. Just pure happiness!

The lovely tiara and shoes.

Lynn's hairdresser did a fabulous job. I'm always amazed how they create those "poofs" of hair with every strand in place. I'm so not a hairdresser!

Photobucket
We'd been hearing a lot about Lynn's niece, Claire, for a long time. She's quite entertaining, and was lots of fun to be around while everyone was getting ready. She totally added a little sparkle to the atmosphere.

The finished make-up. Gorgeous!

Beautiful bouquet. I loved the eggplant-colored cala lilies.

Photobucket
Isn't she lovely?

Photobucket
I absolutely love this one!

Photobucket
Aren't they playful? I think Lynn and Foster are one FUN couple. Just look at that twinkle in his eye.

"Oh yeah, oh yeah, we're married, we're married..." They could have started doing the happy dance, I think. Aren't the doves beautiful? Such a unique addition to the reception.

Photobucket
The toast by the best man was particularly entertaining. I think it was the self-deprecating humor, but he had us all laughing quite a bit. The candles on the left were in memory of Foster's mother.

Photobucket
Thanks, Lynn and Foster for the chance to be part of your day! And thank you to Dennis who was an awesome second-shooter. I couldn't have done it without you!

the coys: reception

The maid of honor gave a touching toast in which she announced that shortly after Connie and Rich started dating, she knew he was the real deal. After that he became known as the "real mccoy." I loved this, and now think of them as the "McCoys." Here's your last preview, guys. Can't wait to show you the rest!

Photobucket
I loved the idea of adding fruit to the centerpieces!

Photobucket
Such a unique, gorgeous cake topper.

This little guy loved being the center of attention for most of the party. He's getting an early start on his groovin' skills.

I am almost done processing the wedding. Whew! It's quite the marathon. I'm having fun, though. I think I'll have one more post with some reception shots. Stay tuned!

Just chillin' before the big moment.

the real mccoys

I have been a busy, busy girl lately! I met Connie a few months ago when she asked me if I'd be willing to photograph her wedding. It's quite an honor to be entrusted with such an important occasion, and I was so happy for the chance to really get my feet wet. Thanks, Connie, for believing in me! As a photographer, I feel so lucky to get a behind the scenes glimpse into people's lives, and Connie's was no exception. I so enjoyed experiencing the relationships she was surrounded with on her wedding day.


Photobucket
The first of the getting ready shots. I just love 'em in black and white.

Photobucket
Make-up time.

Photobucket
Looking good!

Photobucket
The beadwork on her dress was gorgeous!

Photobucket
I don't know why, but this shoe shot was just begging to be in color. Do you see where I've hidden the rings in the photo?

This is probably my favorite getting ready shot! Isn't she just radiant?
