Who ever thought moving would be easy? The fam took a small step toward our dream by moving out of our apartment and out to our family property. We love it out there, so much land to roam. With small hilly ridges and tons of woods to run though, it is an outdoor lovers land (hiking and biking). Part of this past week though has been overwhelmed with the lack of internet. AT&T left me hanging for a week with two mess ups and a relationship that is loathed. Anyway on to Virgina and Paul...

Let's play word description! I think this is going to be the best way to describe Virgina and her family! Fun, Spunky, and Strong. I'm beginning to think that a running theme is that I fall in love with my couples families. When I first met them at Virginia's bridal session, they captured my heart. Paul, I don't want leave you out either, thanks for being so easy to work with, even through the heat this guy was so laid back. Not to mention Paul killed it during his quick portraits, (you can check those out in the gallery when they are up). Guys, thank you so much for allowing us this amazing opportunity, it was such an honor for us.

A quick thanks to Chris Dekmar as well for his awesome help and amazing eye. If you have a second, jump over to their site and check them out.

They met 6 years ago, but it really began over a game of darts.  A challenge if you will and the game ended with a bulls eye  to Malerie's heart.  From that first meeting between Malerie and Brandon their relationship began to build.  As the buzz of the wedding day events began, everyone was excited (as they should be).  For me it was exciting as well.  It was a chance to return home, to our old church, to many friends and to be excited for these two families that we had known while we were in Troy.  Guys, congratulations and we couldn't  be more excited for both of you as this new journey begins!

I love showing off more images from weddings, so here is a couple more from the Echo and Brandon's.

The next stop on the road show, the city of the 2011 NCAA National Champions and a couple that loves their Tigers.  Even though I never attended AU, it's always great when we get to roll through there and especially having the opportunity to shoot at the beautiful Julia Collins Art Museum.  For Will and Sharon it was a dream come true of being able to share the things they love and having them all in one place; family, friends and school.  I love how things work out on wedding days.  The ceremony was to be outside, why does that matter?  Because it rained, but the staff at the museum was amazing in accommodating the change of plans.  Even after the hard work and changes, the rain stopped, sun came out, and even had a rainbow make an appearance; the second in my photography career.  Another reason it was such a great day was that we got to celebrate not only a wedding but also Sharon's birthday!  Sharon, happy late birthday!  I hope this preview will be a great present!

Hello Prattivlle!!!  Having visited Prattville quite a bit, my visits were mostly centered around Jim and Nick's, PHS stadium and I'll admit it, Bass Pro Shop.  Never have I had the chance to visit downtown, which if you've never been is filled with oldies.  Old homes and business buildings.  How old you ask; some going back to the late 1800's.  So the post is not about Prattville but about the couple that was married there, Amy and Jason.

Some people you just click with.  Some you find yourself in conversation with and it seems like you've been friends for a while and you just naturally enjoy being around them.  Amy and Jason would fall into this category and I'll add one more  description to them, hospitable.  It always blesses our heart when we have the opportunity to work with a couple like Jason and Amy.  Thank you guys and we hope you enjoy this preview!
