Everyone has been complaining that I don’t blog enough! Yes, yes, I know! With so many weddings this summer, it’s just impossible to keep up. I’m hoping to put together I nice year end post with tid-bits from every wedding. If you haven’t already, you may want to “like” my facebook page because I much more regularly post sneak peeks and mini-collections of images on there.
I finished editing Anna and Chad’s wedding this afternoon, so I had a bit of time left to put something together for the good ol’ blog. Anna and Chad had such a great time at their “Lawn on the Beach” wedding… they really enjoyed themselves and the time they spent with their guests and it really shows. Stephanie Tate of Savoir Faire Weddings helped Anna arrange the day (priceless!) and I have to say their ceremony set-up on the beach, done by Erin of Enlighten Events along with the rest of the event design, was the most unique I’ve seen all year. Anna had her heart set on an open air reception, but rain made it necessary to bring in a tent and the awesome clear tent that was set up balanced her vision and the necessity perfectly. Be sure to slow down and check out all the great details that Anna chose, like the guest favor jars of Tupelo Honey (their first dance was to Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison), custom wedding logo, cake topper, and photo display. The logo was even represented it the pattern of Chad’s tie! So cool.
Congratulations Chad and Anna… The best is yet to come.
The first half of wedding season has passed and it’s been crazy! I’m waiting to blog a whole boatload of weddings until my new website is up and running (soon!), but in the meantime I’m excited to show you all Rachel and Jesse’s wedding that took place in Carillon Beach. This sweet Kentucky couple are both school teachers and would both be exactly the kind of teacher I would be proud to have in my child’s class. They chose Cari Degregorio for their floral design, which I must say, was complete eye-candy. The ladies from Elegance helped pull everything together and Cakes By Tanis provided their wedding cake. The wonderful food was catered through Dine By Design. It was a beautiful day that I’m sure Rachel and Jesse’s families were so happy to be a part of. 
Sara and Kris were married at the Seaside Chapel amongst their closest friends and family. Sara’s hair and makeup (which looked stunning!) was done by Jessica of Make Me Blush. With help from Shelby Peaden, Sara planned a beautiful reception at Draper Lake following the ceremony. The amazing floating dock hosted their cocktail hour and the dinner reception was nearby on the butterfly green under a tent filled with beautiful flowers and wonderful food by Celestine’s Special Occasions. Sara and Kris added some cute touches like the personalized t-shirts that they gave each guest with a special Peanuts comic on the back and a midnight snack of donut holes and little milk shooters! The kids table with children’s meals in beach pails and a stockpile of art supplies and bubbles was a huge hit. Everyone had a great time celebrating and I’m honored that they chose me to photograph their wedding. Congrats to you both!
Katie and Josh are set to marry next May in Santa Rosa Beach at Bentley’s on the Bay. Katie has such cute style that I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for the wedding. Coming from the Atlanta area, this duo seemed perfect for an engagement session in Seaside and I think it turned out fabulous. May 2011 is going to be another really busy month around these parts and it’s going to be here in the blink of an eye!
Wow… the light on the beach this particular evening was so beautiful. Anna and Chad came from the Atlanta area for their annual family vacation to the area and we spent a little time in Rosemary and Inlet beach photographing them in preparation for their upcoming September, Seagrove wedding. Gorgeous couple in love, great light, perfect location, what more can you ask for?
