Jana and Rusty:: Engaged!

Jana and Rusty are an ah-mazing couple! As soon as I met them, I had an instant connection with them both! Jana is very sweet and has the greatest bubbly personality. Rusty is a tell-it-straight guy who is super fun. These two are deeply in love and I am very excited to shoot their wedding in Tennessee in March.

And here is the gorgeous couple:




I love Jana's expression here....priceless!




I LOVE this shot...soooo romantic!


Beautiful fall leaves!


This was such a fun shot of Rusty and Jana...it seemed to fit their personalities perfectly.


Love this shot! I love the sun, back light, and their sweet hug!




Rusty met Jana at ECS...so we had to get in their awesome jackets and blanket!


There is something amazing about those first few seconds before the hot, steamy kiss!



Jana and Rusty, I cannot WAIT till your March wedding! I will see you in Tennessee soon!

Adam and Michelle's Wedding Day!!

Adam and Michelle got married on October 31, 2009! It was a blast! Their wedding was elegantly themed, but had splashes of Halloween throughout the reception. I had so many reasons why this wedding day rocked!!! # 1. My bride and groom were super fun to photograph. # 2. The entire wedding party traveled all around town to take awesome pictures. But most importantly, # 3. Superman showed up and danced at their reception! How cool is that?!?!?! Well, the day was awesome! Here are my favs. of the day! ENJOY!

One gorgeous, but cold day!


Getting ready...




Jessica Simpson shoes...gotta love a bride with style!
