Ashley and Jerred’s engagement pictures

I’m so blessed to have gone to nursing school at ULM and to have connected with such wonderful people. We just recently shot my nursing friend Brittany and Mitch’s wedding, and now I get to shoot Ashley and Jerred’s wedding..and I went to nursing school with both of them! So that makes it extra fun for me :) . I had a great time catching up with them during their engagement shoot, and I can’t wait for their wedding in April! Till then, here are some of our favs from their engagement shoot a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy :) !

They’re such good sports…when I asked them to sit on the old bathtub, they didn’t look at me like I was *too* crazy :) .

We couldn’t resist taking a picture in the very building that brought Ashley and Jerred together…so many memories were made in this building. And this proves that as difficult as nursing school was for all of us, they weren’t all bad memories :) . There’s even a *small* (and I mean teeny tiny) part of me that misses it…a little.

Brittany and Mitch’s wedding

Brittany and Mitch got married a week before Christmas in a beautiful winter wedding! The entire day just flowed perfectly, and we had a wonderful time with them. And luckily it wasn’t too terribly cold that day so we were able to take some outside photos (which of course you know is our favorite). And Brittany, you get bonus points for being so patient with us on getting your pictures to you. Thanks for that :) . Hope the wait was worth it…

Brittany and her bridesmaids first got ready at “The Catwalk” hair salon:

Then they headed to The Hilton for the finishing touches. Doesn’t Brittany just look stunning!!!

And Mitch doesn’t look too shabby either with his groomsmen:

Brittany and Mitch chose to see each other before the ceremony, and of course we were all for it :) ! I just adore the pictures we get of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time in a more intimate and personal moment. They are always my favorite pictures from the day!

The sun was setting fairly fast, but we were still able to get some shots of the complete bridal party outside:

After it was too dark to take any more pictures outside, we headed inside the church to take a few more. The church was so pretty:

After the ceremony we headed to “King’s Palace” in Monroe for their reception. Since their wedding was during the Saints’ game vs Dallas, they had the game on a computer by the groom’s cake. Unfortunately, the Saints lost that game, but it doesn’t even matter now because they’re playing in the Superbowl this Sunday! WHO DAT :) !!!!

Their first dance:

It didn’t take long for the party to heat up with lots of dancing and fun had by all. I think this picture of Brittany and Mitch dancing may be my favorite of the day:
