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!

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!

Michelle Rocks the Dress!

Trash the dress? No, not this one! Michelle was so excited that after 3 years and a baby, she still fit into her wedding dress. Nevermind the fact that the dress barely fit inside my car! What started off as a Rock the Dress session quickly led into a dual Bridal Portrait shoot! We wormed our way through town to various locations to capture these images-of which I had a terrible time sifting through to share with everyone. I love so many of them-there could easily be 50 pictures in this post. I have resisted, and gone through them with a fine tooth comb. Enjoy these previews of Michelle's 2nd Chance/Bridal Session!!

Too ironic to not show off! "I know we said Trash the Dress-but I didn't know you meant it literally!" Michelle said as we were walking towards the area the dumpster was.

Michelle is SMOKIN hot!!

The staircase above was a winding one...that lead to a couple of rooftops!
We could not resist!
