We met up with Keshia and Clay a few weeks back for their engagement session! We had a lot of fun with the two of them and you can tell that they are completely in love. Their story begins all the way back to kindergarten where the two of them first met. Keshia told us of how she went home on that first day and said to her mom that she was going to marry him. And now…nearly 20 years later…SHE IS! Seriously, how awesome is that!!! I barely knew how to tie my shoes at 5 years old, and here’s Keshia choosing her future husband! It was a long road for them to get to where they are today, but I’m sure it was worth it in the end .

See how cute they are together!

I love how Clay makes Keshia laugh.

I hope that everyone enjoys your Memorial Day Holiday!

I’m first going to start by saying….”IT’S SUMMER!!!!” Today is my first official day of summer and I am loving it already. Sleeping in, no school, swimming…are just some of the many reasons that summer is my absolute favorite time of year!
Last Saturday we shot Jessica and James’s country wedding and are excited to begin working on those pictures soon. But for now we are sharing Jessica’s bridals. We met with Jessica’s at Heather’s grandmother’s house out in the country for some beautiful light and country scenery! It was a beautiful day and the bride was gorgeous so how could the pictures not be great!

We have many more sessions coming soon! So be on the lookout!

Y’all better sit down and get ready to enjoy about a bazillion photos from Kevin and Janna’s wedding . We got a little carried away with editing their wedding photos for blog, but its okay…I don’t think Janna and Kevin will complain. We absolutely loooooove shooting outside weddings. But we love it even more when the bride and groom decide to see each other before the ceremony because we can take many more photos of just them and the day just flows so smoothly. And their wedding day really was perfect. And they are also just so perfect for each other. You can see their love in the way they simply look at each other, or in the caring way Kevin helps Janna carry her dress and flowers. Its enough to melt even the most cynical of hearts .

They got married at the beautiful Cedar Grove Mansion in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The room that Janna and the girls got ready in was just gorgeous and we had a lot of fun taking dress and shoe pictures.

Janna’s hair was stunning!

Her matron of honor did her makeup and did an excellent job! Miranda, if you’re taking pointers, I want you to do my make as well as Hope did Janna’s .

Janna opening her gifts and reading her note from Kevin:

Kevin getting ready:

Then it was time for them to see each other for their “first look”. Taking these pictures are some of my all time favorite type of pictures to take. The emotion and joy and excitement is just so rich!

I love the way they can make each other laugh:

After their first look, we had a lot of fun walking around the grounds taking pics.

After taking photos of just the bride and groom, it was time to have some fun with the bridal party. Janna and her beautiful bridesmaids:

And Kevin with his handsome groomsmen:

Whole bridal party:

After taking the group photos, Janna and her girls went back to the room to relax and freshen up before the ceremony. They are always laughing and having a good time…just my type of people :

I love this photo of Janna looking out the window at the guests arriving:

Ceremony time:

Reception time:

Their first dance was to Coldplay’s “Sparks”, so everyone had sparklers during their first dance:

When I first saw this photo, I thought it was a mistake since Kevin and Janna weren’t in focus, but then I noticed that it was perfect how it was because it captured Janna’s mom looking on with pride.

More dancing:

Leaving to head to St. Lucia:

Janna and Kevin, thank y’all again for having us be there for your special day. It was a wonderful wedding and we had such a good time. Y’all are awesome

I know, I know…I promised that these pictures would be up yesterday and I had every intention of doing that! But yesterday, my day was full of other things including locking myself out the house! Since that’s the case, its better to be one day late than never! Right?
You may remember Ashley and Jerred from their engagment session a few months back. The two of them are now married and we got to be the lucky ones to shoot their wedding! Ashley and Jerred were so much fun to work with.

We started out the day hanging with the bride (Of course that’s what we always do. Isn’t the wedding day all about the bride anyways? ) Ashley had a little time to spend that morning sitting around with her bridesmaids before having to get ready. I have to give kudos to Jerred for an amazing wedding gift for Ashley, although I don’t exactly know what it is! lol! Along with some other things, Jerred gave Ashley a tacklebox! Not just any tacklebox, but a locked one that contained some sort of memories of the two of them together. The catch is that she can’t open for another 20 years!!! Talk about a teaser! If it were me, I would probably loose sleep over it! Everyone had there guesses, but I guess no one will know until 4-10-30.

I love this picture of Ashley’s mother looking on as she gets her makeup done! You can tell she’s one proud Momma!

Next stop..the ceremony:

Ashley’s nephew is a complete ham!! We could do an entire wedding album of just him! Especially when it comes to him dancing at the reception. But we just couldn’t pass up posting this picture of him that Heather snagged during Ashley and Jerred’s first kiss! Too funny!!

The lighting was just perfect outside after the ceremony so we took a few of the happy couple!

Last stop..the reception:

Jerred didn’t go easy on Ashley. There was cake from her hair, to her face, and even on the wall!

Of course there were plenty of nurses there considering nursing school was where they met!

Ashley and Jerred, we are so glad that you allowed us to photograph your special day! We had so much fun with the two of you! Let us know if you need us to photograph the opening of the tacklebox in 20 years. I’m curious to know what’s inside!

A few weeks back, Heather and I shot Ashley and Jared’s wedding. The wedding pictures will be up tomorrow, but I thought I would take today to do a super quick post and show a few of Ashley’s bridals! Ashley was a beautiful bride not only on the day of her bridals, but also on her wedding day! But you will have to wait till tomorrow to see the rest!

Isn’t Ashley beautiful?

I hope that every Mother out there had a fantastic Mother’s Day! I have the most absolute Mother in the world! And because I know she reads our blog, I just wanted to take a minute to say that I am truly blessed to be able to call her Mom! So Mom…. I love you!
