My rain dance worked again!  It only rained while everyone was inside during the ceremony, but we had all the time we needed for nice outdoor pictures!  Megan and Barry were so fun and laid back to photograph, and I think their pictures reflect how sweet they are to each other.  I have a ton of favorites so enjoy looking through them all!  I hope you’re both enjoying your cruise, can’t wait to hear how it went!  Special thanks to my wonderful assistant Jen Carr who worked her booty off all day!

Wedding & Reception:  First Baptist Church, downtown

Flowers: Flowers by Pat

Cake and cookie favors:  Edgewood Bakery

For you photographers reading, this was the result of the amazing 50mm f/1.2 that I rented….yum:

I’m not at liberty to say what was so funny, but it was darn funny and I love the look on everyone’s face:

Yet again, the beautiful f/1.2:

Megan & Barry saw each other before the ceremony which allowed us lots of time for pictures.  I highly recommend this to future brides! (ahem):

I love the look on Megan’s face as she sees Barry at the end of the aisle:

And here’s my new telephoto at work:

I got even more special picture time!  After they left their reception we drove around town and took some more…see what happens when I’m given just 30 minutes?

Here’s another “behind-the-scenes” peak.  Me taking the picture, and the result on the left:

Here I am, looking exhausted, with the bride and groom.  They’re still looking fabulous, how did that happen?

I had a super fun engagement session in Jacksonville last Friday!  We started at Chamblin BookMine and then headed downtown and just drove all over the place.  Between me and Lauren we took hundreds of pictures from every angle imaginable, so you guys should have quite an array of pictures to choose from!  Can’t wait for your “Day After” session coming up in a few months!

They grabbed their favorite book for this one:

They had to run out in the middle of the road for this one! :

They are so darn cute!

I think this is my fav of the day, I’ve been wanting to photograph this wall forever! :

Susan’s a barista at Starbucks so we had to pay homage, plus I’ve had this chalkboard idea in my head forever:

Here’s some “behind-the-scenes” shots that Lauren took of me in action:

It’s scorching hot outside, but it sure feels like Christmas at my house!!  My birthday was a few weeks ago and through a collaborative effort, I am now the proud owner of a beautiful new lens!  For any photographers, check out this beauty!  Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS!  I’ve been debating forever on whether to get the f/4 or f/2.8 but after renting the f/4 and holding someone elses f/2.8 for about 5 minutes the choice was easy.  This lens is light enough that I can carry it around all day, but long enough for those tough to reach places!  I’m sooo excited!

*How the promotion works, is that you must place your order no later than JULY 30!  I am able to offer this discount because of a promotion with my canvas provider so the deadline is important.  I will also offer this to clients whose event is in the future, but you must pre-pay for your canvas by July 30.*

My last bit of excitement came in a FedEx box from Borrow Lenses, a company I’ve started using to try out some new stuff.  For my shoots this weekend I rented a 50mm f/1.2 lens and immediately grabbed it to photograph my just-groomed dog.  Ally, who is adorable in my eyes but not at ALL photogenic, posed for just a second:
