Mr & Mrs Woods

My second wedding of the year was the week right after my first! I just had my third and have 4 more, I am so excited! I am loving all of these beautiful brides, seeing everyone radiating sooo much joy! Its just absolutely wonderful!

I am Undoubtedly Hugely Blessed

This year was my first year actually marketing for doing weddings. I actually got started in doing photography (more then just for fun), because a friend came to me and asked me to photograph her wedding. I said yes (of course). Then I started planning my own wedding and realized what a serious job this was. I tried to “back out”, but long story made short I did it!
That first wedding is not my finest work (of course). I had friends who were going to mentor me, but we never had time. So they were teaching me things I needed to know via text…on my way to the wedding. It was inside an old poorly lit church, on a super gross rainy day.
I never wanted to shoot another wedding again, end of story!
I shot a wedding with some friends, just for experience, and then last year I had a wedding for a friend as well and I had photographed 2 receptions. Nothing amazing, nothing horrible!
Last Labor day though, I got to tag along with another wedding photographer (one of the sweetest gals alive) at my cousins wedding. COMPLETELY different and amazing situation. Then and there I fell in love with it!

So, I decided to become more accepting of wedding photography. I am so excited that I have booked 7 weddings this year, with a possibility of 2 more! How amazing, what a huge blessing! It has been a little crazy with a newborn, a 3 yr old and all the time that weddings require but I have yet to regret it!

This beautiful wedding was the first one of the year, while my little miss G was only a few weeks old. Leaving her was rotten, the wedding completely made up for that though!
This was a wedding about second chances and happily-ever-afters! Gorgeous, wonderful, a huge blessing (for everyone, not just me). So here are some of the images I captured =D

A sweet engagement…

So this sneak (as well as the next couple ones) are coming a bit late! But I suppose late is better then never! We are having a beautiful time over here getting to know our little princess, and soaking up every minute with her that we can! Busy editing away during any down time that we have though! So here are some pictures from a sweet engagement session that I did before this sweet girl. I am so very excited for their wedding over the summer!

Ready…set…go!

SOO excited for session season to get started back up! For anyone who may be interested I am offering some discounts right now!

So, go ahead…shoot me an email, and lets get your session on the books!

Happiness is a beautiful thing!

I think we can all agree on that! There aren’t many things that compare to pure, true happiness! So soak up some of this sweet couples beautiful day =D

When I was 4..

When I was around the age of 4, one of my very best friends was this girl. They moved away (I feel like it was around first grade), now she has gotten married. The did a reception here since there wedding was out of town. That was her family wouldnt have to worry about traveling! It was so nice to be able to reconnect with such an old friend. Such a blessing!

I think i may have fallen in love with photographing weddings

My beautiful cousin got married a few weeks ago.  I was excited about the wedding…family time date night and of course I would take me camera with (yah know, because I can’t function without it).  Doesn’t get much better, right?!?!? WRONG! imagine my excitement when my cousin and I were chatting and I heard that her photographer was someone who I haved talked with some and totally admire!!  So with a little chatting, some emails and texts, I was lined up to follow around the photog at the wedding! AMAZING…I haven’t done a whole lot in the wedding department, so I’m always up for some tagging along!!

Here are some of the beautiful pictures I snuck in on this beautiful hott day =D

Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness and then some =D
