Jonathon and Grace's wedding

Jonathon and Grace were married on a beautiful September day in Loudon.

Grace was a stunning bride, and her mother was with her to help with the finishing touches.

The groomsmen had fun monkeying around prior to the wedding.

Jonathon at the very moment he first saw his bride in her dress.

The perfect opportunity to steal a few rays of sunshine to illuminate the face of this lovely bride.

These girls were all about shoes.

Family members and friends sent the couple off to the reception with bubbles.

Congratulations Jonathon and Grace! We enjoyed shooting your wedding! Thank you for everything!

The first look

If you recognize the bride and groom, these photos are from Jason and Jodi's wedding, which we photographed last summer. We have had several couples ask us the reason they should do a first look session prior to the wedding ceremony. Of course, it's not something all couples would want to do.

But, we feel like it offers the opportunity to capture some priceless expressions on both the bride and groom's faces ... something that is more difficult as they walk down the aisle, especially when there are movement constraints. When, you are walking down the aisle or standing in front of the congregation, so many things are going through your mind, least of all, the pictures.
First look sessions also allow us to shoot photos of the bride and groom together prior to the wedding. Now, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Whatever you decide ... to look or not ... have fun!

Robert and Wendy are married!

Robert and Wendy were married on Sept. 25 at the beautiful Washington Pike United Methodist Church. They are both fun loving, outgoing people who were determined to have a great time.

I love all of her fantastic facial expressions, especially this one she made while her sister helped her with her dress.

The lovely bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids

The beading on her dress was gorgeous, and I love how the window light made the dress glisten.

Wendy and Robert wanted a pre-wedding shot without actually seeing each other. We managed to pull this off pretty well.

Capturing Robert's expression when he first saw Wendy walk down the aisle was very important to her. He seemed so proud to be marrying her.

With this ring ...

The groom's party

Sharing a couple's special day is an honor. We were especially happy to celebrate Robert and Wendy's nuptials as we shot her sister Cynthia's wedding several years ago. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your wedding! Congratulations!
