RussellWedBlog 0018 A Mississippi Destination Wedding

 

On May 23rd in Natchez, Mississippi these two were married at the Dunlieth Plantation. It was a great weekend from their rehearsal dinner to the end of the wedding. It had been pouring the day before and we were forced to rehearse inside but we all said many prayers the most perfect weather for this outside event.

The Groom is one of our second shooters so I was so excited when he asked me to shoot this for him. It is always a privilege when anther photographer likes our work enough to have us be there for them on their wedding day.

Upon arriving in Natchez we (my husband accompanied me) were greeted in our room with the sweetest gift basket complete with the couples favorite drinks. On her wedding day we had to keep tracking down her favorite, Coca-Cola, as the property was a Pepsi kinda place. The bride arrived on a horse drawn carriage and her Dad married them as the groom’s Father asked who gave her hand in marriage. The best part – the romantics! These two were ready for some time alone and we took complete advantage of the lovely property. Here are some of my favorites but really, watch their slide show because the entire day was just beautiful.RussellWedBlog 0002 A Mississippi Destination Wedding

Mandy%26JeffEngaged 00008 Mandy & Jeff Engaged!

Last week I took a trip to South Carolina on vacation with my family. While I was there I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin Mandy and her fiance Jeff on location at the beach! The four of us (my fiance, Evan, played the role as my assistant for the day) explored Myrtle Beach and found tons of fun places as we photographed.
These two have such a fascinating story. They were set up by their dentist’s secretary and met on a blind date! What are the chances? They hit it off right away and were engaged in June at Central Park in New York City. Jeff is such a sweetheart, and I am so excited to welcome him into the family. From the short time I was able to spend with them I could tell they are so very much in love. I am thrilled that they chose me to photograph their wedding. Here are some of my favorites…

While I was away on my honeymoon I got to play with my camera and do this fun dress trashing on St John. Vanessa was my second photographer for our wedding and Cristina’s sister. It was fun to be on the side of the camera I am most comfortable if even for a little while. These are some of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

PacelyEngBlog00017  Latia & Courtney Engaged!

Last week I got to do something totally new and different! Latia and Courtney flew me down to Houston for the day for their engagement shoot. We had so much fun and I got to explore an entire new city for photo locations with these two. They mapped out a great route for us from downtown at the club where they met to a park near their home and ending up at the beach in Galveston!

Not only where the spots new fun and sweet I was able to get to know these two as I was carted around in their car all day. I had not met Courtney previously and I hadn’t seen Latia since October! These guys have a great sense of humor and now I know that Sonic Lemon Berry Slushes with extra Strawberries are the way to quench your thirst on a hot day! Here are some of my favorites!
