Jenni & Kenny: Married!
July 4, 2009
You’ve heard of Bennifer and Brangelina, but I am about to introduce you to a couple who trumps them both… Kennifer! Jenni and Kenny have been close friends of mine for years now, and I was so excited to be a part of their May wedding. Jenni has been my best friend since 6th grade, and up until their wedding it had been almost 4 years since we had seen each other. (All thanks to the military basing people in wierd places, LOL!) Here is a shot of us from the summer of 2003:
This wedding was special in more ways than most people realize, so of course I brought along my camera to capture the reception festivities… and I made sure to do my part in keeping the dance floor pumping all night long! 
Lovely
Cake smash!!!
I love this moment between father and daughter.
Brooke & Adam: Married! (& more fabulous than ever!)
June 28, 2009
You may remember Brooke & Adam from a few weeks ago when I posted their engagement session at Market Commons. As you may have guessed, their wedding was absolutely amazing!! Brooke looked fabulous, like she stepped straight out of the ‘Sex & The City’ movie. Their friends and family traveled from all over to be a part of this beautiful day.
Here are a few of my faves:
A big shout out goes to Brooke’s mom for putting together all of the floral arrangements!
Seriously? You rock my world, Brooke. Gooorgeous!
The cupcake tower was provided by Trestle Bakery & Cafe in Conway. (It was yummy!)
Their engagement photo was on display as a signing board at the reception.
Faaaavorite!
There was just enough light left in the sky after the reception ended to snap a few more shots of the newlyweds. That’s the Crown Reef Hotel lit up in the background, where they held the ceremony.
Congratulations to Brooke & Adam, best wishes for a fabulous future together!
Forgot About the 101? I Think Not :)
June 28, 2009
It has been wayyy too long since I’ve posted an update on my 101 in 1001 list! For those of you who are new to the idea, the 1001 list is a fabulous way to motivate your life. It is a list of 101 things that you would like to complete in 1001 days, which is just under 3 years time. You can view my whole list here. Or you can just Google ‘101 in 1001′. I dare you!
I went through my list this morning, and found that I have completed 10 new things since my last update… 10! Fabulous, I know:) Some of these photos aren’t exactly the best quality, so please excuse the mess!
9. Buy a new Point & Shoot digi cam.
While vacationing in New York with my Hubby this past month, I decided to splurge and pick up a new Canon Powershot camera. Anyone who knows me knows that I always carry a camera in my purse wherever I go, and because it’s been 4 years since my last point&shoot purchase, it was definitely time for an upgrade!
12. Go on a romantic vacation with my husband.
Finally! Jon and I went on a 3 day trip to Poconos Cove Haven, which is where we had our honeymoon 2 years ago. Unfortunately for Jon, 2 years ago he had a broken leg… so the champagne tower bubble bath and heated heart shaped pool were of no use to him! We made up for it this time with horseback riding, a night out at the comedy club, and lots of time in the pool! Living the military lifestyle has caused us to live on opposite sides of the country for the past year, so this vacation was just what we needed.
16. Get some canvas prints made of my photography.
And of course… they’re of my puppies Now I just need to find somewhere to hang them!
39. No fast food for 30 days.
WOW this was rough! I actually lasted 5 weeks before I caved in and hit the drive through at Chick-Fil-A! And I made it a whopping 11 weeks before making my first trip to McDonalds!
40. Be a guest at a wedding.
I got to do something better than that. I traveled to NY this past month to be the maid of honor at my best friends wedding. They are also a military couple, currently living in Alaska, and I hadn’t seen them in 5 years. It was such a beautiful wedding, and of course I brought my camera! Be sure to check back in a few days for a full post on their wedding!
44. Finish making wedding/portrait contracts.
They’re done. And they rock.
55. Get a pedicure.
I hate feet. Seriously. I am not a foot person at all. No one except my husband is allowed to touch my feet. But when it came time to hit the salon before my best friends wedding… it had to be done. I got my first pedicure, and it was amazing!! I think I just might have to fit in a pedicure at least once a month, because it was the most heavenly experience of my life!
66. Form my photography business into an official LLC.
Done! This has actually been done since the beginning of spring. (I’m a little behind in updating, I know!)
78. Get a crazy awesome high tech cell phone that everyone will be jealous of.
Ok, so it’s not an iPhone, and it may not be as high tech as some of the other devices out there, but it certainly is crazy awesome! This year I traded in my EnV for a Blackberry Curve, and I absolutely loooove it! I don’t know how I ever survived without it. The calendar function makes life so easy, and all of my business emails come right to my phone so I can email brides back from anywhere!
83. Slow dance with my husband.
At our wedding in 2007, our first dance was quite amusing. Jon stood in the middle of the dance floor on his one good leg, while I danced in circles around him. As fun as that was, it was a beautiful moment to be able to dance with him at Jen’s wedding last month.
So now I’m off to work on the rest of my list! (I’ll post the updates sooner this time, I promise!)
Nicole & Eli: Married!
June 22, 2009
Today I am knee high in editing images, filing papers, creating albums and trying to keep my puppies entertained. (They are staring at me from the couch as I type this, silently saying “Mommy won’t you come and play with us?” I love my babies!) But I couldn’t let another day go by without sharing a few quick photos of Nicole & Eli’s fabulous June 13th wedding! Their little baby boy stole my heart away that day… he’s gonna be a heartbreaker someday!
While the girls were getting ready, I decided that he needed a portrait of his very own. Isn’t he the cutest??
Mom & Dad were lookin pretty awesome themselves… I love a gorgeous military couple!
The happy family, enjoying themselves on the dance floor:
Congratulations Nicole & Eli!
MBP Meetup: McLean Park
June 19, 2009
Last week a few of the member of the MB Photogs joined me for a meetup in McLean Park, located in North Myrtle Beach. In typical Myrtle Beach style, we were threatened with serious rain… the sky poured down upon us as we made our drive to the park. By the time we got there however, the rain had stopped and we had some yummy overcast light and bold, beautiful colors to work with. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
Brooke & Adam: Engaged & Fabulous!
June 16, 2009
Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Brooke, Adam and their super awesome bulldog, Diesel! Their wedding is this upcoming weekend, and from the details that I have heard so far, it is going to be amazing! (2 words: leopard heels!) I am beyond excited to be a part of their sure-to-be faaaaabulous NY style wedding. Unfortunately Diesel will not be able to attend the festivities, (more hotels should be pet friendly!) but we had a great time with him yesterday.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from our excursions around Market Commons and the beach:
Have you ever seen such a beautiful couple? I think not! Faaaaabulous!
Diesel is so fabulous, he deserved a portrait of his very own!
Lindsay & Austin: Married!
June 1, 2009
Once of the things that I love most about my job is that I never photograph the same thing twice. Every wedding that I have done has been so dramatically different, each one special in their own way. Lindsay & Austin’s wedding for example, was on the Historic Riverfront in Conway, with their reception in the Peanut Warehouse. The weather was absolutely perfect, and every detail in the reception was pristine. And the dancefloor was hoppin all night long! Another perfect wedding, beautifully different.
We’ll start with the bride’s bouquet… which was so fabulous, I’m going to show it twice!
Linsday looked stunning!
I love how these two look at each other
This one just might be my favorite image of the day.
The reception hall was decorated with pink carnations and lanterns, and lots of lights. It looked amazing!
Announcing the new Mr. & Mrs!!
Congratulations to Lindsay & Austin on a beautiful wedding and best wishes for a fabulous future together!
