SNEAK PEEK: Team Nation

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of capturing the essence of Blake & Molly's wedding! I have just begun editing them, and must say-I sat here with a smile on my face the entire time I was going through them.  If you remember, Blake is a big time baseball player (see engagement pictures), and from what I understand the running headline for this couple has been Team Nation for a while.  As of Saturday at 5:30, Team Nation was made official with the "I Do's" and a lot of fun!  While I plan to have a bigger post later on to show off all the fine-tuned details Molly put into her big day, I couldn't wait to share a few that jumped out at me just now!
Wedding Party-I am glad everyone has been accounted for and all the cellphone calls have been made
Moms & Dads-You raised two wonderful kids who truly adore each other!
Molly-You were gorgeous, I never saw a black taco (which I now get...I saw a commercial)
Blake-Your smile when Molly walked down the aisle radiates love and adoration

Thank you for letting me be a part of your day! Enjoy the sneak peek :-)


The gorgeous sparkly shoes Molly wore!









We made it to the reception right at sunset---the sky was on fire!



Seeing his bride walk down the aisle!

No Longer Newlyweds!

It's official...my hubbin and I are no longer in the newlywed category.  We celebrated our 1st anniversary on Oct. 18 and jumped on a boat the next day to repeat our honeymoon on a cruise.  With friends in tow, we visited Nassau, Bahamas.  The 5 days went by like lightening, but we are glad to be back home too.  I can't believe it's already been a year! I love him more every day, and cannot wait to spend the next 65+ years (that's how long a couple on the cruise was celebrating) with him.

PS...I am still swaying as if I was on the boat!

For those brides worrying that all sorts of things will go wrong on your wedding day...

Yes, you might forget to iron things before you get dressed...


Yes, the flowergirl may flash everyone coming down the aisle...


Yes, your groomsmen may attempt to pee in a public fountain...


Yes, your toasting glasses might get broken...twice...during the toasts...


But at the end of the day, everything was perfect and you married the love of your life!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Pritchett!

I had so much fun this weekend with Heidi & Gage as they tied the knot. When Heidi first called me, I knew this was a wedding I did not want to pass up. You could tell that love was the most important thing of the day...that and being on a beach! Well, the two decided it was too far to trek it to the coast, but instead found the beach at the Ritz Carlton on Lake Oconee. In a small, intimate ceremony with friends and family, Heidi & Gage promised to take out the trash, smile often, and love each other forever (yes, trash was mentioned in the vows...Heidi wanted it in there so that she would be free of trash duty forever :-P). Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and I rode around the Ritz on a wild golf cart ride (thanks Andy) for some portraits. You know when someone is truly smitten with their wife when you have a hard time getting them to look at the camera. The entire time, Gage was staring at his glowing bride! Afterwards, the couple joined their guests in the Forest for an evening filled with roasting hot dogs and s'mores, laughing, and glow bracelets.
Thanks to Andy for being an awesome Wedding Guru (and good luck in Augusta!), the rest of the Ritz staff for putting together a gorgeous wedding, and of course to Heidi and Gage for letting me be a part of your special day! I hope you two had a great time on Amelia Island and I know the kids are excited to have you back home.
Enjoy the preview!





STUNNING BRIDE ALERT!! :-)





See what I mean...in these next two he kept his eyes on his bride!
