I have had a FANTASTIC time working with Jarrod & Ashley!! They are crazy cool, hilarious, and big goofballs on the inside! In case you don't remember, this is the couple who let me take some UNBELIEVABLE engagement pics with one of Jarrod's airplanes. *hint hint* I won't ramble too much because I know these two are itching to see some images, but of course, I will ramble some :)  I really just have one thing to say about Jarrod & Ashley.....it is overwhelmingly obvious that they make each other better. Plain and simple. And I don't know if I can think of a better quality in a relationship! It makes me happy just being around them! I really hope that I get the chance to work with these two again in the future because I just love 'em that much! ;) Now onto the pictures!!!

 

I loved their fall color scheme!

The back of Ashley's gown was gooooorgeous!!

I got to work with some cool fellas :)

I've never seen this done in a ceremony but I really liked it!

I love having such attractive couples :D

The awesome grooms cake....

Jarrod & his father MADE all of these in their shop! Umm...cool much??

Hands down the coolest grooms ring I've seen. It was kind of similar to a watch link chain, it was completely collapsible which meant I had fun trying to get some fun pictures of it!

I love Ashley's features! She's so beautiful!

These people knew how to put on a PARTY. Yes, all caps are required.

The groom & the father of the bride....LOL!

Who doesn't love a good Thriller dance?! I know I do!!

Jarrod & Ashley, thank you for always rocking it for me!! You guys are awesome!

WEDDING - CHRIS AND KATIE

A couple of weeks ago I had the honor of photographing Chris and Katie's sweet and intimate wedding day.  It was special to be there with their closest family members and friends to see them exchange their vows.  The adorable pair married in Katie's parents' beautiful backyard on a very chilly October day.  Steaming cups of hot cider and snuggly blankets in the couple's wedding colors were available to the guests to keep them warm throughout the night.  It was simply a perfect wedding!  Here are a few favorites from the day!  Special thanks to my dear friend and wonderful second photographer Misty for joining me! 

Katie's dress was perfect for her! 

And I loved her shoes that she customized for the wedding!  So cute!  I love this shot Misty got against the yellow!

Just a simple and beautiful shot of Katie!

 

I loved Katie's bouquet, especially the green orchids.  


A wonderful first look series.  Chris was so sweet when he saw her for the first time that day!

Katie, you are too cute for words!


 

 

Katie is a hardcore Hog fan!  Just before the ceremony started I went to grab my hat and scarf (yes, it was that chilly!) out of one of the back rooms of the house, and I was surprised to find these two sitting on the floor yelling at the small television!  I had to grab a few photos....and then I joined them!  :)  Obviously, this shot was captured during a good moment!!  Sadly, the Hogs still lost to the Gators that day...  :(


I love this glance I captured just before her dad gave her away.  


Chris and Katie wanted a photo of all of the wedding guests together, so just after the ceremony we took a few minutes to get that photo for them!

Chris and Katie, thank you so much for allowing me to share your day with you!  I have enjoyed working with you two so much over the last few months!  I hope you had a wonderful time in Hawaii!!!

WEDDING - ROBBIE AND LEAH BY SARAH

I'm so excited to share these images!! Robbie & Leah had such a beautiful wedding! These two have such an amazing love for each other totally and completely based in God. It was wonderful to see! I have known Leah's father and younger sister for a long time and have always known that their family shares a special bond. It was such a blessing to be able to share their special day with them! I could really ramble on and on about how wonderful it has been to work with Leah (who is an amazingly strong, gorgeous Christian woman!) and Robbie (who is obviously completely head over heels in love with his woman!) and what an awesome day it was....but I won't. Not too much anyways! ;) 
Here are a few detail shots to start....

KILLER shoes. And by that I mean I would KILL myself wearing them!! :) But Leah totally rocked them!

This little detail was my favorite part of Leah's dress! I'm not sure what it was but I just loved the '20's feel to the teardrop beadwork...

I have to thank the uber fantabulous Misty Johnson for grabbing this amazing image!! You rock Misty! 
One of the many, MANY reasons I love a caged veil!! 

Oh look, here's another. :)  I just love the movement in this one!

And total props to the amaaaazzing Tanarah for making such a beautiful, ethereal, wildflower inspired bouquet! She never fails to amaze!


So sweet!
FEAR THE TUSK!!!!
 
Tanarah didn't let me down at the reception either! Each and every table was different!

If this was the only dancing shot I had gotten, I would be happy. Ok, thrilled. I love beautiful mishaps!

OH. MY. GOSH. Leah is amaaaaaazzing!! I had a fantabulous time working with a stunning bride and I have been absolutely itching to share these images! This was such a great shoot. Leah had the foresight to bring a chair, different hair pieces, a mirror, ideas on different ways to wear her hair, and even ferns!! Uh, that makes a photog's dream. :) I will go more into depth about how fabulous she is when I am able to get her wedding post up but I just can't wait any longer to show these off! 

Here are two words that kept popping into my head during this shoot: ETHEREAL and STRIKING. 

I have to give complete props to the unbelievable Tanarah for creating such a beautiful bouquet! She always does amazing work!

AAHHHHHH!!!! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!!! SHE IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I JUST CAN'T GET OVER THIS IMAGE!!!!!!!! Oh geez, I'm drooling again........

I thought this was the perfect captured moment!

 

Leah has such a great laugh! AND great shoes!!


The barn cat decided to jump in for a few shots!

Isn't this light amazing?!?

Ok. I'm running out of words.....oh here's one! Breathtaking.

I hope I have used enough adjectives to describe how awesomely amazing this shoot was!! :) I hope you guys love them as much as I do!
