jessica & chris - july 29, 2006

I love this picture of the bride's dress & the mother of the bride's dress hanging together.

Some details of the bridesmaids' boquets. I just love the brilliant colors:


Chris waiting for the ceremony to begin:

I love the symmetry and color of the dresses:

the happy parents:

and the happy couple:

One of the best parts of the day was that the couple held the social hour at her parents' farm. I thought this was a very creative way for everyone to mingle and enjoy each others company. Here is the couple with all their family & friends in the background:

Some more from the farm:


There were lots of laughs (and a few happy tears) during the toasts:

the first dance:


It was a beautiful day, and I was more than happy to be a part of it. Thank you! Have a wonderful time in Costa Rica.

maggie & mike - july 22, 2006

maggie & mike were married in her hometown of montgomery. once again, i am lucky enough to have an adorable couple to shoot (with a camera, of course). they were both very easygoing and relaxed and very excited to get married.

here is a view of maggie's dress. it was absolutely gorgeous (and heavy).

obviously mike was pretty relaxed about the whole thing:

mike having no problems posing in front of the camera:

some casual pictures of the couple:

we recreated their favorite shot from their engagement pictures. it was a little more difficult with maggie's dress, but as you can see, it was definitely worth it:

heading into the reception hall:

their cake:

m&m also had cute favors on the tables. how cool are these?

taking a break:

no one can ever say mike is a shy guy. he had no problem talking in front of the group during the dinner:

maggie's first dance with her dad:

it was a beautiful day from the weather down to the details that you planned. you two are absolutely perfect for each other. thanks for letting me be a part of it.
